PDC1: ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING FUNDAMENTALS WITH APPLICATIONS TO CHIP PACKAGING
Brian English, Engenius Micro

This PDC will present fundamental aspects of additive manufacturing with example applications in semiconductor chip packaging.  Introductory material will review terminology, physics, benefits, and limitations with respect to machines, materials, design, and processes. Finally, we will review applications and examples applied to semiconductor chip packaging.

PDC2: FUNDAMENTALS OF HIGH TEMPERATURE ELECTRONICS
Patrick McCluskey, University of Maryland

Electronics are increasingly being used in applications requiring operation in ever harsher environments, including aerospace, electric vehicles, and energy exploration and generation. This course will cover the key aspects of designing electronic systems for thermal stability and mechanical/electrical reliability in environments with extreme temperatures.  Key areas to be discussed include packaging wide bandgap semiconductor devices, sintered attach materials to replace solders, novel ceramic substrates, embedded thermal management, and heterogeneous integration.

PDC3: PACKAGING AND INTEGRATION OF WIDE-BANDGAP POWER SEMICONDUCTORS
Christina DiMarino, Virginia Polytechnic and State University

As electricity becomes more and more integrated into our everyday lives, demand for power electronics with improved efficiency, power density, reliability, manufacturability, and functionality for consumer electronics, data center, transportation, motor drive, renewable energy, and grid applications, among others, also increases. Wide-bandgap (WBG) power semiconductors are enabling power electronics to meet these growing demands, and are appearing in commercial products, from traction and solar inverters to chargers for portable electronics. However, new approaches to the packaging and integration of these devices are essential to unleashing their full potential. 

This tutorial will review the challenges of packaging WBG power devices, current solutions and trends, and opportunities for further improvement. Topics that will be covered include design tools, materials, manufacturing processes, and package architectures, from low-voltage integrated packages to high-voltage, high-power modules. The opportunities and packaging challenges for future ultra-wide bandgap power devices will also be discussed.

Keynote - Roger Brewer

KEYNOTE 1: 
HIGH RELIABILITY ELECTRONICS FOR DEMANDING AIRCRAFT & HYPERSONICS APPLICATIONS

This talk proposed as a keynote provides an overview of the evolving and challenging demands electronics systems must deal with when installed on an Aerospace platform. Environmental concerns related to heat and vibration, increased utilization system power usage and the need to install electronics in parts of an aircraft that might be remote from readily accessible forms of cooling are examples that combine to form the challenge. Wide Band Gap (WBG) technology is now evolving as a higher temperature, robust material that may address some of these challenges. However, while WBG materials address the active device material for a power switching device, processor, etc. other issues must be considered in creating a compliant higher temperature and environmentally robust packaged device or system. This paper will examine some of these various issues and create a roadmap for future technology development items of interest.

A brief overview of a modern aircraft power system and the electrical usage needs that, in turn, drive thermal management challenges will first be provided as an Introduction and to set the stage. Ultra-Wide-Band-Gap (UWBG) materials and diamond concepts will also be discussed as the potential next revolutionary step on a path to high temperature electronics. Some resent results of an enabling materials research project with the University of Maryland in Robust Electronics Packaging will also be presented followed by a Conclusion including robust circuit board coating material concepts, nano-diamond coating studies and potential others for enabling high voltage and higher temperature operation.

Roger Brewer, Lockheed Martin
With 34 years of experience at Lockheed Martin, Roger started his career in Electrical Engineering at the Missiles and Space Systems Business Unit in Sunnyvale California supporting power component reliability assessments and investigations for a major Missile program.  Since 1993, he has been with the Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Business Unit at both the Marietta Georgia and Ft. Worth Texas sites supporting aircraft power systems and related technology development for a variety of Aircraft, Advanced Development Programs and support to the LM Corporate Engineering and Enterprise strategy teams.  He has provided several presentations and given talks, both at internal Lockheed Martin conferences and business engagements and industry energy and power conferences (SAE, IEEE, High Temperature Electronics and AIAA) outlining research being performed to improve aircraft power system performance in both existing and future platforms with a recent, specific emphasis on the wide-ranging benefits of high temperature enabled electronics for Military and Aerospace industries.

He is an AIAA Associate Fellow inducted in 2022 and a Technical Fellow (serving his second three-year term) as his primary position at Lockheed Martin in the Electrical Power Systems and High Temperature Electronics domains.  He holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois and a Master of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering from North Carolina State University.

KEYNOTE 3: 
DoD INTERESTS IN HIGH TEMPERATURE ELECTRONICS

Achieving low-power sensor control circuits operating in extreme temperatures (such as above 500oC) will require complimentary SiC P-type and N-type transistor technology. In general, traditional Silicon complimentary circuits cannot meet the temperature requirements for many DOD and commercial applications.  SiC N-type devices have been in commercial production for many years supporting automotive applications, engine controls, power circuits, switching and other extreme condition applications.  For SiC based devices, the manufacturing gap is high performance, high reliability SiC P-type devices to realize complimentary logic integrated circuits. An integrated circuit die must be packaged and assembly into an electronic sub-system for any application. The following presentation will review semiconductor device evolution to meet the extreme environment conditions. The SiC device technology will be presented in context with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USD(R&E)) Critical Technology Areas. USD(R&E) identified 14 Critical Technology Areas that includes technology needs where extreme environment electronics will be important, specifically Hypersonics, Advanced Materials, Space, Directed Energy, and Microelectronics.  As well, each DOD Agency has established a framework around technology focus areas to identify modernization needs. The U.S. Army established Modernization priorities that includes overlapping needs for extreme environment electronics; Next Generation Combat Vehicles, Long Range Precision Fires, and Future Vertical Lift that will have extreme environment electronics requirements.  The presentation will summarize technology needs and DOD modernization priorities.
