A power semiconductor module is basically a power circuit of different materials assembled together using hybrid technology, such as semiconduc- tor chip attachment, wire bonding, encapsulation, etc. The materials involved cover a wide range from insulators, conductors, and semiconduc- tors to organics and inorganics. Since these materials all behave differently under various environmental, electrical, and thermal stresses, proper selec- tion of these materials and the assembly processes are critical. In-depth knowledge of the material properties and the processing techniques is there- fore required to build a high-performance and highly reliable power module.
