The high operating frequencies of semiconductor chips generate heat fluxes it is important to be evacuated in order to avoid the destruction of the chip. A standard module in the field of power electronics is composed of a silicon chip, an electrical insulator (substrate) and a heat sink (drain) for the evacuation of heat. This heat induces thermomechanical stresses due to differential expansion of materials.Two new concepts proposed can overcome these problems and increase the overall reliability of electronic systems. The first is the design and development of a drain composite adaptive thermal properties (thermal expansion coefficient and thermal conductivity). In the second, a new assembly method is presented. It allows, by means of a metal film Sn or Au, intermetallic compounds to create stable over time.
