Strategic Objectives
• Master the metallurgy of silver sintering to achieve superior thermal conductivity.
• Navigate the transition from liquid-phase soldering to solid-state diffusion.
• Implement pressure and pressure-less processing techniques for maximum reliability.
• Analyze failure mechanisms to ensure long-term stability in extreme environments.
The Core Challenge
Traditional solders fail at the 200°C threshold, creating a massive bottleneck for Wide Bandgap semiconductors and high-density power modules.
