Modelling Thermal Resistance of Power Modules Having Solder Voids With Finite Elements

A general thermal model to calculate the thermal resistance of a power module having rectangular die and layers has been constructed. The model incorporates a finite element computer program to solve for three-dimensional heat conduction. Effects of voids in the solder regions are included. A sample...
