Surface Mount Power Device(SMPD) and Mini SMPD Packages
January 2013
P R ODU C T BRIEF
Lighter weight, more power(ultra-low profile, energy efficient, and rugged)
SMPD OVERVIEW
IXYS introduces a new packaging technology – the Surface Mount Power Device (SMPD)
package. It is an expansion of the ISOPLUS™ package porolio, which has been providing
isolated-package soluons to the power electronics industry for more than a decade.
Compared to copper-based lead-frame packages, these devices exhibit beer thermal perfor-
mance, lower weight, and beer power cycling capability.
The SMPD package can be easily surface-mounted on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) using a
standard pick-and-place and reflow soldering process. No costly screws, cables, bus-bars or
hand soldered contacts are needed. Weighing only 8g, it is much lighter (typically by 50%)
than comparable convenonal power modules, thereby enabling lower weight power
systems for IXYS customers. This is one of the key “Green” iniaves of IXYS Corporaon in
developing new products for the Cleantech industry that are lighter in weight. Moreover, due
to its compact and ultra-low profile package, it is possible to use the same heat sink for
mulple devices, saving PCB space. Another added benefit of being smaller and lighter is that
it provides a beer protecon against vibraons and g-forces, especially if used in portable
appliances, increasing the life expectancy and reliability of these devices. IXYS is virtually the
first power semiconductor company to offer surface-mountable high-voltage Power MOSFETs
and IGBTs.
A ceramic isolaon of up to 4.5kV is achieved with the Direct Copper Bond (DCB) substrate
technology an electrically isolated tab is provided for heat sinking. The DCB provides low
thermal impedance and best-in-class power and temperature cycling capabilies. The
ISOPLUS™ advantage also facilitates having mulple die on the same single substrate – buck,
boost, phase-leg, full-bridge, half-bridge configuraons are implementable.
“This unique device is part of our iniave of taking power systems on a diet, literally, with the
aim of reducing the weight of the power semiconductors in a typical power system. Weight
reducon is a key effort in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the producon, shipment
and use of power products,” commented Dr. Nathan Zommer, Founder and CEO of IXYS
Corporaon, regarding the recently released 1kV/30A Q3 HiperFET™ Power MOSFET in the
SMPD package. “Our lighter products use less material, require less energy to ship, and result
in lower weight products for our customers, a crical desired feature in a lot of applicaons,
including portable equipment, and for the automove and transportaon industry.”
The new surface-mountable SMPD package is an ideal replacement part for bulky tradional
power modules. IXYS is able to offer various SMPD topologies the MMIX1F44N100Q3 is a
single die 1000V/30A HiperFET™ Power MOSFET, the IXA68PF650LB a 1200V/68A dual IGBT
with an-parallel diodes, the DMA90U1800LB a 1800V/99A three phase recfier diode. Upon
request, IXYS can manufacture other customer-specific configuraons.

SMPD Package Outlines
The following points should be considered when aaching a heat sink
to the package to ensure a good thermal contact between them. In
general the SMPD is soldered to a PCB as shown in Figure 1. The contact
surfaces of the heat sink must be flat and free of scratches.
• Two holes (30.48mm apart) should be created on the heat sink
surface.
• The recommended depth of thread for an Aluminum (Al) heat sink is
12mm and for a Copper (Cu) one 10mm.
• Unevenness should be less than 50µm over a distance of 100mm and
roughness less than 10µm.
• A thin layer of thermal grease (thickness between 60µm and 80µm)
should be applied to the surface of the heat sink or the base of the
package.
• A recommended mounng screw is M3.5 or 6-32 UNC; ghten the
screws clockwise.

Mini SMPD Overview
To help make even lighter, more efficient, and compact power conversion systems possible, IXYS
offers a smaller version of the SMPD package the Mini SMPD, which is illustrated in Figure 2
below. Just like in the SMPD, an electrical isolaon of 4500V between the semiconductor chip and
base copper is achieved with the Direct Copper Bond (DCB) technology, which is a well-known
technique for high-voltage isolaon and provides excellent thermal conducvity and high-current
carrying capability. The structure consists of three layers (Copper, Alumina substrate, and
Copper); the Alumina substrate is a ceramic layer situated between the two copper layers and
supports the necessary voltage isolaon. The expansion coefficient of the DCB is close to that of
Silicon, resulng in reliable high-temperature cycling. Compared to standard packages, the Mini
SMPD exhibits beer electromagnec interference (EMI) performance due to its lower parasic
capacitances and inductances and reduced current loops.
The IXYS Mini SMPD package can be ulized in a wide variety of industrial, consumer, medical,
and green-energy applicaons, including inverters, baery chargers, switch-mode and resonant
power supplies, temperature and lighng controls, high-frequency plasma generators, motor
drives, E-bikes, and electric and hybrid vehicles.
Mini SMPD ADVANTAGES
• High-voltage electrical isolaon (4500V)
• Lower thermal resistance compared to standard packages (TO-247, TO-264, SOT-227B)
• High component density/flexible configuraons (H-bridge, half-bridge, boost, buck, phase-leg)
• High current carrying capability
• Low parasic capacitances and inductances
• Low package weight (5g)
• Beer protecon against vibraons and g-forces

The figure above illustrates a comparison of the Mini-SMPD with other industry standard packages. The volume of it (3cm3) is only at 60% of that of the
SMPD (1.8cm3). But the Mini SMPD is able to maintain a high voltage isolaon of 4.5kV and weighs just 5g.
