Abstract
A heat sink-hybrid circuit assembly clamping device (100) and method (200) are provided for minimizing hybrid circuit assembly substrate-transistor solder joint stress. The clamping device is positioned and selected to provide a net coefficient of linear expansion (CLE) substantially of a magnitude equal to a net coefficient of the substrate material such that uniform pressure and contact are obtained between the transistors of hybrid circuit assemblies and the heat sink.
