Optimized Highly Efficient SSCB Using Organic Substrate Packaging for Electric Vehicle Applications

Solid State Circuit Breakers (SSCBs) are an attractive protection solution for their arcless current interruption and fast actuation speeds over mechanical breakers. This paper proposes a Bidirectional SSCB (BSSCB) with a thermally defined and digitally controlled current time profile for fault protection in EV and other low-voltage DC systems. The paper proposes an organic packaging approach utilizing flex circuitry to develop a reliable, cost-effective power module for BSSCBs. The paper studies transient heat transfer in the power modules using finite element analysis (FEA). An RC themal ladder network is extracted to define a fusing curve. To demonstrate and verify the design, a 1kV/50 A SiC MOSFET BSSCB prototype is fabricated and tested, having a power density of 60 W/cm3 and 4x reduction in form factor over presently researched breakers. Also, given are results for 750 V/150 A operation showing interruption in 2.4 μs.

Packaging Development for a 1200V SiC BiDFET Switch Using Highly Thermally Conductive Organic Epoxy Laminate

A novel 1.2 kV/10A, 4H-SiC monolithic, bidirectional switch has been developed for use in cycloconverter applications to facilitate high-frequency direct AC-to-AC power conversion and enables new power converter topologies. A new packaging solution, utilizing a 100 µm flexible polyimide organic laminate substrate is developed to mitigate thermo-mechanical stress during power cycling and enable smaller form factor and lower cost. Multiphysics simulations and static tests were conducted to show performance characterization of the module and compare it against metallic substrates. A new organic laminate epoxy resin composite dielectric (ERCD) is also evaluated for superior thermal performance and shows 63% reduction in junction to case resistance compared to DBC substrates.

Organic Direct-Bonded-Copper-Based Rapid Prototyping for Silicon Carbide Power Module Packaging

Silicon carbide (SiC) power devices are playing ever- growing roles in high-power-density power electronics converters by offering benefits such as high voltage rating, fast transients, and high thermal performance. Organic direct-bonded copper (ODBC)-based packaging, due to its ductility and ease of han- dling, allows the possibility of a more flexible layout design that may better tap the potential of SiC benefits. In this work, an ODBC-based prototyping routine is developed that accelerates the iterations of packaging layout design with low cost. The properties of ODBC and its handling are briefly introduced, and tools and fabrication steps are explained. Following this routine, a 1.2-kV SiC half-bridge power module is designed and fabricated with the focus on sub-nanohenry ultra-low loop inductance. Simulation and experimental validation are also conducted.

An Organic, Direct Bonded Copper, Multi-Layered, Ultra-Low Inductance Package for High-Power UWBG MOSFETs

The most common metalized substrates used in high-power switching packages consist of a ceramic layer such as Aluminum Nitride (AlN) sandwiched between two copper layers. Ceramic substrates are used because it has the key characteristic of having high dielectric strength while being thermally conductive. A large drawback to ceramic substrates is that they do not allow for a multi-layered circuit design. By replacing the traditional ceramic substrate with organic direct bonded copper (ODBC) we can open a wide range of possibilities when it comes to power module layout such as multi-layered circuits and double-sided cooling. Both benefits are critical while packaging high-performance Gallium Oxide (Ga2O3) MOSFETs. Because of Ga2O3's relatively poor thermal conductivity, a double-sided cooled package becomes necessary. Therefore, the use of ODBC provides the flexibility to fabricate copper traces carrying much higher currents, and by creating a multi-layered package, we can drastically reduce the parasitic inductance inside the power module. Achieving lower parasitic inductance is critical for an ultra-fast Ga2O3 package to avoid excessive voltage overshoot and ringing. Using ODBC, we have designed novel packages capable of handling the challenges presented by fast Ga2O3 switching. Using multi-physics modeling software, we can validate our design before building the prototype. Due to the simple process parameters needed to work with ODBC, we can rapidly create prototypes without using external vendors. This flexibility allows us to quickly design, build, and validate highly complex switching power modules to accommodate next generation, Ga2O3 switching devices.

Rapid Prototyping Techniques for Organic Direct-Bonded-Copper Power Modules

Organic Direct-Bonded-Copper (ODBC) is a novel packaging technology for power modules which allows higher flexibility in layout design. In this work, a set of rapid prototyping techniques are developed for ODBC modules based on a polyimide dielectric material. These techniques enable fast and low-cost fabrication of modules with 3-Dimensional (3D) layout features. An example half-bridge (HB) silicon carbide (SiC) metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) module is designed and prototyped using the proposed techniques aiming at ultra-low power loop inductance. Finite element analysis (FEA)-circuit co-simulations results and experimental results validate an approximately 0.71nH power loop inductance for the example module design.

Analysis and Optimization of a Multi-Layer Integrated Organic Substrate for High Current GaN HEMT-Based Power Module

In this paper, analysis and optimization of a multi-layer organic substrate for high current GaN HEMT based power module are discussed. The organic multi-layer substrates can provide high electrical performance in terms of low parasitic inductance in the power loop by providing vertical layout, and shielding for reduction of common-mode noise, a common problem in fast switching power converters. Furthermore, high performance cooling solutions, such as micro-channel heat sinks, can be directly bonded to the substrate for optimum thermal management. The structure of the proposed architecture, thermal analysis and optimization of layer thickness, thermo-mechanical stress analysis of the GaN HEMT and development of a high-performance heat sink are discussed.

Characterization of Highly Thermally Conductive Organic Substrates for a Double-Sided Cooled Power Module

Abstract Silicon-Carbide (SiC) power devices have become a promising option for traditional Silicon (Si) due to the superior material properties. To fully take advantage of the SiC devices, a high-performance power device packaging solution is necessary. This study proposes a cost-effective double-sided cooled (DSC) 1.2 kV SiC half-bridge power module using organic epoxy-resin composite dielectric (ERCD) substrates. The high mechanical and thermal performance of the power module is achieved by the low-modulus, moderate thermal conductivity, and relatively thin (120 μm) layer of ERCD material compared with traditional metal-clad ceramic approaches. This novel organic dielectric can withstand high voltage (5 kV @ 120 μm) and operate up to 250°C continuously, which is indispensable for high power applications. The thermal modeling results show that the equivalent thermal resistance junction-to-case (Rjc_eq) of the DSC power module using dual direct bonded copper (DBC) is 17% higher than the dual ERCD configuration. Furthermore, a non-insulated DSC power module concept is proposed for maximizing thermal performance by considering thermal vias in the ERCD substrate and direct-soldered heat sink. A thought process for optimization of thermal via design is demonstrated and it shows up to 24% of improvement on thermal performance compared with the insulated DSC power module.

malbacR: A Package for Standardized Implementation of Batch Correction Methods for Omics Data

Mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for identifying and analyzing small molecules, such as metabolites and lipids, in com-plex biological samples. Liquid chromatography and gas chromatography mass spectrometry studies quite commonly in-volve large numbers of samples, which can require significant time for sample preparation and analyses. To accommodate such studies, the samples are commonly split into batches. Inevitably, variations in sample handling, temperature fluctua-tion, imprecise timing, column degradation and other factors result in systematic errors or biases of the measured abundances between the batches. Numerous methods are available via R packages to assist with batch correction for small molecule om-ics data; however, since these methods were developed by different research teams, the algorithms are available in separate R packages, each with different data input and output formats. We introduce the malbacR package which consolidates eleven common batch effect correction methods for small molecule omics data into one place so users can easily implement and compare: pareto scaling, power scaling, range scaling, ComBat, EigenMS, NOMIS, RUV-random, QC-RLSC, WaveI-CA2.0, TIGER, and SERRF. The malbacR package standardizes data input and output formats across these batch correction methods. The package works in conjunction with the pmartR package, allowing users to seamlessly include batch effect cor-rection in a pmartR workflow without needing any additional data manipulation.

cerf: A Python package to evaluate the feasibility and costs of power plant siting for alternative futures

Long-term electric power sector planning and capacity expansion is a key area of interest to stakeholders across a wide range of organizations because it helps in making informed decisions about investments in infrastructure within the context of potential future vulnerabilities under various natural and human stressors. Future power plant siting costs will depend on a number of factors including the characteristics of the electricity capacity expansion and electricity demand (e.g., fuel mix of future electric power capacity, and the magnitude and geographic distribution of electricity demand growth) as well as the geographic location of power plants. Electricity technology capacity expansion plans modeled to represent alternate future conditions meeting a set of scenario assumptions are traditionally compared against historical trends which may not be consistent with current and future conditions. We present the `cerf` Python package (a.k.a., the Capacity Expansion Regional Feasibility model) which helps evaluate the feasibility and structure of future, scenario-driven electricity capacity expansion plans by siting power plants in areas that have been deemed the least cost option while considering dynamic future conditions. We can use `cerf` to gain insight to research topics such as: 1) under what conditions future projected electricity expansion plans from models such as GCAM-USA are possible to achieve, 2) where and which on-the-ground barriers to siting (e.g., protected areas, cooling water availability) may influence our ability to achieve certain expansions, and 3) how electricity infrastructure build-outs and value may evolve into the future when considering locational marginal pricing (LMP) based on the supply and demand of electricity from a grid operations model.

Thermal and Reliability Characterization of an Epoxy Resin-Based Double-Side Cooled Power Module

Wide-Band Gap (WBG) power devices have become a promising option for high-power applications due to the superior material properties over traditional Silicon. To not limit WBG devices’ mother nature, a rugged and high-performance power device packaging solution is necessary. This study proposes a Double-Side Cooled (DSC) 1.2 kV half-bridge power module having dual epoxy resin insulated metal substrate (eIMS) for solving convectional power module challenges and providing a cost-effective solution. The thermal performance outperforms traditional Alumina (Al2O3) Direct Bonded Copper (DBC) DSC power module due to moderate thermal conductivity (10 W/mK) and thin (120 mm) epoxy resin composite dielectric working as the IMS insulation layer. This novel organic dielectric can withstand high voltage (5 kVAC @ 120 μm) and has a Glass Transition Temperature (Tg) of 300°C, which is suitable for high-power applications. In the thermal-mechanical modeling, the organic DSC power module can pass the thermal cycling test over 1,000 cycles by optimizing the mechanical properties of the encapsulant material. In conclusion, this article not only proposes a competitive organic-based power module but also a methodology of evaluation for thermal and mechanical performance.
