Abstract

This paper presents a novel flex-circuit power packaging platform that enables integration of power dies and control components with an advantageous form factor. The flex-circuit offers the benefits of planar interconnection and multilayer layout design flexibility with reduced parasitic inductance compared to conventional wire bonds. A half-bridge test vehicle that implements the flex-circuit packaging platform has been designed and fabricated for automotive applications (42 V, 16 A). The power flex module presents a compact configuration with electrical results indicating improved package parasitics
