This paper demonstrates the feasibility of double-sided die attachment bonding, a key technology for double-sided cooling structures, using copper-tin transient liquid phase (Cu-Sn TLP) bonding. Recently, double-sided cooling has drawn particular interest by providing a notable improvement in thermal management and increasing allowable power density for automotive power electronics. The use of TLP bonding for double-sided attachment avoids a number of complications in the assembly process, enables multiple attachments, and provides a high bonding quality and reliability at high temperature operation (because of its high re-melting temperature). In addition, Cu-Sn TLP facilitates high thermal and electrical conductivities, which exactly correspond to the aim of double-sided cooling. Cu-Sn TLP bonding is developed using silicon dummy dies and DBC (direct bonded copper) substrates. The feasibility of double-sided Cu-Sn TLP bonding is demonstrated by (1) proof-of-concept fabrication, (2) optical analysis using optical microscopy and SAM, and (3) material identification using SEM and EDX analysis.

We develop a transient liquid phase sinter (TLPS) bonding using Sn-coated Cu micro-sized particles. With this bonding process, a thermally stable joint comprising Cu3Sn phase and a dispersion of ductile Cu particles can be obtained. The particle paste, which contained Cu particles with a thin Sn coating and terpineol, was used to join Cu substrates. The setup was bonded at 300 °C for 30s under an applied pressure of 10 MPa using a thermo-compression bonding system under a formic acid gas atmosphere for reducing the oxide layer on the Sn coating and the Cu substrate. After bonding, the TLPS joint showed a thermally stable microstructure with a good shear strength, which was fully consisted of Cu3Sn intermetallic compounds matrix and embedded ductile Cu particles. The kinetics of the microstructure transformation and high temperature reliability of the TLPS joint were investigated. After 300 °C isothermal aging for 200h, the shear strength and microstructure of the TLPS joints showed almost unchanged. The results demonstrate that joint with high-melting-point obtained by the TLPS bonding using Sn-coated Cu particle paste has the potential to fulfill the requirement of high temperature electronic packaging.
