Provider of circuitry, assembly, and semiconductor solutions for electronics manufacturers MacDermid Alpha has developed a new silver sintering product, called Argomax 2148, designed for electric vehicle power inverters. The sintered joint enables the fabrication of smaller, lighter, and reliable power train systems.
The company says its range of Argomax silver sintering pastes offer flexibility and ease-of-use while reducing manufacturing cost and time to market. These pastes, applied by low-pressure processing are designed for die, top side, or package attach. They are available in wet and dry options.
The new paste enables the sintering of large packages or components on gold or silver substrates. “Utilizing a pure silver bond line, the dispensable silver sintering paste exhibits excellent bond line thickness and adhesion,” the company said. “It gives excellent performance on marginal component surfaces. The resulting sintered joint provides high thermal and electrical conductivity. With its firm attachment to the inverter, manufacturers benefit from superior component performance and reliability in extreme temperature ranges.”
