Irvine, CA – Henkel today announced the addition of Loctite Ablestik ABP 8068TI to its growing portfolio of high thermal die attach adhesives. With 165 W/m-K thermal conductivity, the new pressure-less sintering die attach paste boasts the highest thermal capability in the company’s semiconductor packaging portfolio, meeting performance requirements for high-reliability automotive and industrial power discrete semiconductor devices.
“High voltage applications like those found in automotive ADAS systems, EVs, industrial motor controls, and high-efficiency power supplies require superior electrical and thermal performance,” says Henkel’s Global Market Segment Head for Semiconductor Packaging Materials, Ramachandran Trichur. “Currently, the only viable die attach alternative to Pb solder – which will soon be phased out and cannot meet certain thermal demands – is sintered silver (Ag). Henkel pioneered pressure-less sintering die attach, allowing the use of standard, low-stress processing, and we have now formulated our fourth and highest thermal conductivity material to date, which tackles the stringent thermal and electrical requirements of next-generation power packages.”
