PCIM: Heat spreader keeps shape despite thermal cycling

Aiming at IGBT modules, Japanese heat spreader maker ALMT has developed a thermal base plate alloy that improves heatsink contact. IGBT base plates are subtly convex (see diagram) so that when they are mounted on a flat base plate, the screw holes have a gap beneath them (~200μm). When the screws are tightened, the curve ...
