Abstract:
1. A power module comprising: at least one semiconductor power device; a power overlay (POL) bonded to the at least one semiconductor power device; a first heat sink bonded to the at least one semiconductor power device on a side of the at least one semiconductor power device opposite the POL; and a second heat sink bonded to the POL via a compliant thermal interface material (TIM) opposite the side of the POL bonded to the at least one semiconductor power device, the at least one semiconductor power device, POL, first heat sink, and second heat sink together forming a double side cooled power overlay module, wherein the compliant TIM is the sole material in direct contact with the POL on the side of the POL bonded to the second heat sink, and further wherein all bonds formed between the second heat sink and the POL are formed via the compliant TIM.
