Mitigating Thermal Embrittlement in High-Power Dies: Thermal-Oxidative Degradation and Velocity Models of Thermal Pads

thermal-pad-thermal-degradation-aging-mechanics

Within the demanding thermal management frameworks of high-performance computing (HPC) enterprise servers, high-power automotive power electronic switchgear, and advanced telecommunication RF front-ends, core semiconductors experience operational temperatures between 125°C and 150°C. Under these prolonged campaigns, thermal interface materials encounter a critical reliability hazard: “Thermal Hardening” coupled with bulk thermal conductivity degradation. Conventional high-performance pads systematically […]
