Concluding Remarks
IGBT has been increasingly applied to many
products, from home appliances, motor control,
robotics, EV, new energy, to transportation.
High-end IGBT module development faces many
technical challenges, such as interconnect long-term
reliability, module harsh environment failure, and
super high heat dissipation.
With the support of HKSTP-ASTRI SiP/WLP lines,
ASTRI can provide one-stop total solution to local
industry, including module design, process recipes,
prototype samples, performance testing, and small
volume pilot run.
