Summary: | Gallium oxide (Ga 2 O 3 ) has gained interest as a material for power electronic devices, but its low thermal conductivity poses a substantial challenge. Therefore, this paper investigates assembly strategies for Ga 2 O 3 power diodes using simulative and experimental thermal studies. By substrate thinning from 600 μm to 200 μm, the maximum chip temperature is reduced by more than one third. The lowest rise in junction temperature, close to that of a commercial SiC Schottky diode, can be achieved by flip-chip assembly when the entire anode area is contacted. Yet, small gaps in the contacting area can significantly increase the local peak temperature. |
