Die-attach method to compensate for thermal expansion

Abstract:

In sonic examples, a method includes pre-stressing a flange, heating the flange to a die-attach temperature, and attaching a die to the flange at the die-attach temperature using a die-attach material. In some examples, the flange includes a metal material, the die-attach temperature may be at least two hundred degrees Celsius, and the die-attach material may include solder and/or an adhesive. In some examples, the method includes cooling the semiconductor die and metal flange to a room temperature after attaching the semiconductor die to the metal flange at the die-attach temperature using a die-attach material.
