The soldering process causes considerable thermal stress to a semiconductor component. This
has to be minimized to assure a reliable and extended lifetime of the device. The PowerSO-10
package can be exposed to a maximumtemperature of 260°Cfor 10 seconds. However a proper
soldering of the package could be done at 215°C
for 3 seconds. Any solder temperature profile
shouldbe withinthese limits. As reflow techniques
are most common in surface mounting, typical
heating profiles are given in Figure 1,either for
mountingon FR4 or on metal-backed boards. For
each particular board, the appropriate heat profile
has to be adjusted experimentally. The present
proposalisjusta startingpoint. Inanycase,the followingprecautions haveto be considered:
- alwayspreheatthe device
- peaktemperatureshould be at least30 °C
higherthan the melting point of the solder
alloychosen
- thermalcapacityof the base substrate

Voids pose a difficult reliability problem for large
surface mount devices. Such voids under the
package result in poor thermal contact and the
high thermal resistance leads to component failures.The PowerSO-10is designedfromscratchto
besolelya surfacemountpackage,hencesymmetry inthe x-and y-axis givesthe packageexcellent
weightbalance.Moreover, the PowerSO-10offers
the unique possibilityto control easily the flatness
and quality of the soldering process. Both the top
and the bottom soldered edgesof thepackageare
accessible for visual inspection (soldering meniscus).
Coplanarity between the substrate and the package canbe easilyverified.The qualityof the solder
joints is very important for two reasons : (I) poor
qualitysolder joints result directlyin poor reliability
and (II) solder thickness affects the thermal resistance significantly.Thus a tight control of this parameter results in thermally efficient and reliable
solderjoints.

SUBSTRATES AND MOUNTINGINFORMATION
The use of epoxy FR4 boards is quite commonfor
surface mounting techniques, however, their poor
thermal conductioncompromisestheotherwise
outstandingthermalperformanceof thePowerSO-
10. Some methodsto overcome this limitation are
discussedbelow.
One possibility to improve the thermal conduction
is the use of large heat spreader areas at the copper layerofthe PC board.Thisleadsto areduction
of thermal resistance to 35 °C for 6 cm
2
of the
board heatsink(seefig. 2).
Use of copper-filledthrough holes on conventional
FR4 techniqueswill increase the metallizationand

decrease thermal resistance accordingly. Using
a configurationwith 16holesunderthe spreaderof
the package with a pitchof 1.8 mm and a diameter
of 0.7 mm, the thermal resistance (junction heatsink) can be reduced to 12°C/W(see fig. 3).
Besidethe thermal advantage, thissolutionallows
multi-layer boards to be used. However, a drawback of this traditional material prevents its use in
veryhighpower,highcurrentcircuits.Forinstance,
it is not advisable to surface mount devices with
currents greater than 10 A on FR4 boards. A
PowerMosfetorSchottkydiodein a surfacemount
power package can handle up to around 50 A if
bettersubstratesare used.

A new technologyavailable today is IMS - anInsulated Metallic Substrate. This offers greatly enhancedthermalcharacteristicsforsurface
mount components. IMS is a substrateconsisting
of threedifferentlayers,(I)thebasematerialwhich
is available as an aluminiumor a copper plate, (II)
a thermal conductive dielectrical layer and (III) a
copper foil, which can be etched as a circuitlayer.
Using this material a thermal resistanceof 8°C/W
with 40 cm
2
of board floating in air is achievable
(seefig. 4).If evenhigherpower isto be dissipated
an externalheatsink could be appliedwhich leads
to an R
that R
(j-a) of 3.5°C/W (see Fig. 5), assuming
th
(heatsink-air) is equal to Rth(junction-
th
heatsink). This is commonly applied in practice,
leading to reasonable heatsink dimensions. Often
power devices are defined by considering the
maximum junction temperature of the device. In
practice, however, this is far from being exploited.
A summary of various power management capabilities is made in table 1 based on a reasonable
deltaT of 70°Cjunctionto air.
The PowerSO-1 0 concept also represents an
attractive alternative to C.O.B. techniques.
PowerSO-10 offers devices fully tested at low
and high temperature. Mounting is simple - only
conventionalSMT is required - enabling the users
togetrid ofbondwire problemsandtheproblem to
controlthe high temperaturesoft solderingas well.
An optimized thermal management is guaranteed
through PowerSO-10 as the power chips must in
any case be mounted on heat spreaders before
beingmountedonto the substrate.
