One exemplary disclosed embodiment comprises a sintered porous metallic film as a die attach mechanically connecting a backside of a semiconductor die to a substrate of a package. Another exemplary disclosed embodiment comprises a sintered porous metallic film as an electrical connection between an electrode on an active surface of a semiconductor die and a substrate of a package. The porous metallic film may be integrated as a prefabricated film or may be created at the wafer or substrate level. By providing a conformal bond through the presence of pores in the metallic film, the sintered connection can provide a reliable mechanical connection with a lower effective elastic modulus. Thermal expansion stresses between die and substrate are thereby accommodated for robustness against thermal cycling, which is of particular relevance for high performance power modules and automotive applications. |
