Abstract :
This paper presents the thermal analysis of a highly-integrated intelligent, integral-horsepower, three-phase induction motor drive based on multichip module (MCM) technology. This solid-state controller, known as a multichip power module (MCPM), uses known good die to obtain minimal footprint, volume, mass and cost, while maximizing efficiency, reliability, and manufacturability. Using a commercially-available finite-element analysis program, various substrate technologies are evaluated for thermal management efficacy
