Particularly for this purpose materials have been developed which offer a high thermal conductivity and at the same time best electrical insulation. A fully covered, massive metal backside ensures a fast and efficient temperature spreading and thus inhibits hotspots.
Customary IMS solutions are equipped with aluminum back plates. In contrast, SCHWEIZER recommends the usage of copper which offers essentially better physical characteristics.
A significant advantage over aluminum also is that copper is compatible with all PCB processes and allows for different surface coatings and multi-layer build-ups.
