Advantages of the new power modules include high current carrying capability, low package parasitic impedance, low thermo-mechanical stress under high temperature cycling, low package thermal resistance (double-side cooling), modularity for easy system-level integration, and low-cost manufacturing of devices compatible with current electronic packaging industry. A first embodiment uses molybdenum leadframes for operation in temperatures over 300° C.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2006Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: University of Central Florida Research Foundation, Inc.Inventor: Zheng John Shen
