LIQUID METAL INTERCONNECTS FOR POWER SEMICONDUCTOR MODULES
The disclosed subject matter relates to liquid metal interconnects for power semiconductor modules. For example, disclosed herein are semiconductor package devices, comprising: a semiconductor device comprising an electrode and/or contact pad; a solid metal circuit element; and a liquid metal interface comprising a liquid metal material. The liquid metal interface can append at least a portion of the solid metal circuit element to at least a portion of the electrode and/or contact pad within a contact area. Adhesive forces, cohesive forces, surface tension forces, capillary forces, viscosity, and/or wetting characteristics enable containment of the liquid metal interface within the contact area. Also disclosed herein are methods of making and use of any of the devices disclosed herein.
