How can ceramic through-thickness conduction, copper spreading and contact-interface contributions be separated before comparing ceramic types, thicknesses and metallization stacks?

Provide ceramic/copper thicknesses, heat-source locations and fixed thermal boundaries to compare whether substrate-stack changes produce distinguishable thermal-path differences.

Problem context and interpretation

Compiled by BLNKK from public sources

Ceramic and metallized power-module substrates, including AlN/Si₃N₄ and copper layers; die attach and TIM are localized separately

  • Ceramic/copper thicknesses, thermophysical properties and temperature dependence
  • Actual heat-source area, location and power
  • Die-attach/TIM thickness and contact conditions
  • Cooling boundaries, temperature-sensor calibration and known-good controls
Technical Q&A awaiting input
  • How can ceramic through-thickness conduction, copper spreading and contact-interface contributions be separated before comparing ceramic types, thicknesses and metallization stacks?
  • Measure temperature rise and thermal paths at fixed power, heat-source geometry and contact/cooling boundaries
  • Use a layered model to check sensitivity and identifiability of ceramic through-thickness conduction and copper spreading
  • Compare material/thickness candidates at the same boundaries, while checking insulation and thermomechanical limits
