Business Wire
SatCon Technology Corporation(R) (Nasdaq NM: SATC) today announced
that Gregg Davis from SatCon's Electronics division, located in
Marlboro, MA, will present a paper on Silicon/Silicon Carbide
(Si/SiC) packaging at the International Military &
Aerospace/Avionics COTS Conference in Portsmouth, VA this week.
"Silicon Carbide technology holds great promise for dramatically
reducing the weight and volume of electronic systems and also
improving their reliability and ruggedness in severe environment
applications," said SatCon President Millard Firebaugh. "This has
been realized by the DOD who have funded device research over the
last decade bringing the technology close to maturity. As attention
is now being turned to applications, SatCon is in a position to
contribute in many areas and we have identified this as a strategic
focus going forward. One critical area is packaging, as today's
packaging technology has restricted power levels, temperature
ranges and operating frequency. Engineers from our Applied
Technology and Electronics Divisions, working together on a
Government sponsored Si/SiC packaging program have developed novel
techniques to advance the state of the art in these critical areas.
The combination of skills offered by our power electronics
engineers working with our high-reliability manufacturing engineers
allows us to address this challenging task." The COTS paper
describes a new double-sided, hi-reliability package for a hybrid
Si/SiC power device, developed under an active ONR/DARPA Phase II
SBIR contract. The packaging technology addresses the critical
issues of device reliability, heat transfer, materials matching and
attachment (particularly wire-bond) reliability. For more
