  • Publication number: 20240422953
    Abstract: An electrical system includes an electrical power module with a heat sink provided with heat-dissipating projections. The system further includes a cold plate of a heat-transfer fluid box. The cold plate has cavities which are complementary to the projections so as to receive said projections. Liquid metal is inserted between the heat sink and the cold plate, at least between the projections and the cavities.

  • Publication number: 20220216069
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a power electronic module by additive manufacturing includes the step of depositing a layer of an electrically conductive nanoporous material on a substrate that includes an electrically insulating layer and at least one layer of conductive metal material, called a metallized substrate. The method further includes the step of placing an element for example an active component of the semiconductor power component type, on the layer of nanoporous material and sintering the layer of nanoporous material, so as to ensure a mechanical and electrical connection between said element and the metallized substrate.
