With increasing power loss of electrical components, thermal performance of an assembled device becomes one of the most important quality factors in electronic packaging. Due to the rapid advances in semiconductor technology, particularly in the regime of high-power components, the temperature dependence of the long-term reliability is a critical parameter and has to be considered with highest possible care during the design phase (...) The aim of this paper is to give a short overview about standard thermal solutions like thick copper, thermal vias, plugged vias or metal core based PCBs. Furthermore, attention will be turned on the development of copper filled thermal vias in thin board constructions...

Copper pour is an essential design element in printed circuit boards (PCBs) that enhances thermal management, signal integrity, and electrical grounding. It involves filling unused areas on the board with copper, connecting them to power or ground planes. This feature helps manage heat dissipation, minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI), and provides stable electrical grounding for complex circuits. While copper pour offers significant benefits, improper implementation may lead to manufacturing challenges like warping or soldering difficulties. This article explores the advantages of copper pour, the potential challenges, and how PCB Power integrates this design feature to optimize performance and durability. With advanced manufacturing processes, PCB Power ensures seamless copper pour integration for prototypes and large-scale production, offering turnkey PCB solutions for various industries.

The miniaturization and advancement of electronic devices have been the driving force of design, research and development, and manufacturing in the electronic industry. However, there are some issues occurred associated with the miniaturization, for examples, warpage and reliability issues. In order to resolve these issues, a lot of research and development have been conducted in the industry and university with the target of moderate melting temperature solder alloys such as m.p. 280°C. These moderate temperature alloys have not resolve these issues yet due to the various limitations. YINCAE has been working on research and development of the materials with lower temperature soldering for higher temperature application. To meet this demand, YINCAE has developed solder joint encapsulant paste to enhance solder joint strength resulting in improving drop and thermal cycling performance to eliminate underfilling, edge bonding or corner bonding process in the board level assembly process. This solder joint encapsulant paste can be used in typical lead-free profile and after reflow the application temperature can be up to over 300C, therefore it also eliminates red glue for double side reflow process. In this paper, we will discuss the reliability such as strength of solder joints, drop test performance and thermal cycling performance using this solder joint encapsulant paste in detail.
