A module includes a power circuit enclosed in a casing. A first power terminal and a second power terminal of the power circuit each extend to an exterior of the casing. The first power terminal and the second power terminal separated by a gap are disposed in a stack on the exterior of the casing.

Stacked power terminals in a power electronics module

Implementations of semiconductor packages may include one or more die coupled over a substrate, an electrically conductive spacer coupled over the substrate, and a clip coupled over and to the one or more die and the electrically conductive spacer. The clip may electrically couple the one or more die and the electrically conductive spacer.

Semiconductor package and related methods

Implementations of a substrate may include an electrically insulative layer having a first largest planar side and a second largest planar side opposing the first largest planar side; a first electrically conductive layer coupled to the first largest planar side and including a first scalloped edge having a first pattern; and a second electrically conductive layer coupled to the second largest planar side and including a second scalloped edge having a second pattern. The first pattern and the second pattern may alternate along at least one edge of the first largest planar side and at least one edge of the second largest planar side, respectively.

Substrates and related methods

According to an aspect, a power electronic module includes a substrate, a semiconductor die coupled to the substrate, and a clip member configured to secure the semiconductor die to the substrate, where the clip member includes a base portion having a surface coupled to the semiconductor die, an extender portion that extends from the base portion, where the extender portion includes a contact portion coupled to the substrate, and at least one protrusion that extends from the base portion or the extender portion.

Clip design and method of controlling clip position

Implementations described herein are related to a semiconductor device package having an improved baseplate. In such an improved baseplate, there is a recess cut out of a region of a surface of the baseplate such that the recess has a first sidewall having a first thickness above a recess base and a second sidewall having a second thickness above the recess base. A substrate, e.g., a direct bonded copper (DBC) substrate, may be attached to the baseplate at a recess base using, e.g., a solder layer between the recess base and a surface of the substrate.

Power module package baseplate with step recess design

A method includes disposing a series of protrusions on a rectangular side panel of an open four-sided box-like structure in a frame, and attaching an electronic substrate to the frame. The electronic substrate carries one or more circuit components. The series of protrusions acts as a spring-like compensator to compensate plastic deformation, twisting or warping of the frame, and to limit propagation of stress to the electronic substrate via the frame.
