Heraeus Electronics to debut new silver sinter paste

The event will take place June 11-13, 2024 in Nuremberg, Germany. This latest advancement aims to change thermal performance in electronic manufacturing, addressing industry challenges head-on.

The mAgic PE360 Silver Sinter Paste introduces a new benchmark in Large Area Sintering (LAS) pastes, offering enhanced thermal performance compared to traditional soldering methods. Engineered to deliver a highly reliable joint with exceptional thermal conductivity, this paste overcomes the limitations of conventional soldering techniques. Lead-free and halogen-free, the mAgic PE360 ensures compliance without compromising performance or reliability.

A significant challenge in adopting sintering for module attach applications lies in effectively managing large areas. The new mAgic PE360 tackles this challenge with its high workability and drying behaviour, minimising voiding in the paste layer. Its ability to sinter at very low pressure and temperature levels makes it ideal for sintering finished moulded modules, simplifying the manufacturing process compared to conventional sinter pastes for die attach.

This substrate-baseplate interconnection offers enhanced thermal performance, empowering power module and system manufacturers to boost efficiency and performance by transitioning from soldering to sintering. With a typical thermal conductivity of ≥ 200 W/mK and excellent reliability for large area sinter connections, this product sets a new standard for quality and performance. Tailored for optimised module attach sintering applications, the mAgic PE360 Silver Sinter Paste supports both dry or wet placement and pressure sintering at temperatures of ≥ 200°C.

Additionally, Florian Seifert, Global Product Manager at Heraeus Electronics, will present ‘Soldering vs. Sintering for Module Attach Applications’ during the E-Mobility & Energy Storage Stage on Wednesday, June 12, 2024 at 10am. The presentation will delve into the benefits of sintering technology, exploring key factors influencing performance and showcasing Heraeus Electronics' new solution for this application.
