Unraveling the hydrogen sulfide aging mechanism on electrical-thermal–mechanical property degradation of sintered nanocopper interconnects used in power electronics packaging

During operation in environments containing hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), such as in offshore and coastal environments, sintered nanoCu in power electronics is susceptible to degradation caused by corrosion. In this study, experimental and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation analyses were conducted to investigate the evolution and...

Insights into sulfur and hydrogen sulfide induced corrosion of sintered nanocopper paste: A combined experimental and ab initio study

The power semiconductor joining technology through sintering of copper nanoparticles is well-suited for die attachment in wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors, offering high electrical, thermal, and mechanical performances. However, sintered nanocopper will be prone to degradation resulting from corrosion in sulfur-containing corrosive...

Hydrolysis Mechanism Analysis of (Ca, Sr)AlSiN₃:Eu²⁺ Red Phosphor Aged Under Pressure Cooker Test and 85°C&85%RH Test: Kinetics Modeling and First-principles Calculation

The (Ca, Sr) AlSiN₃:Eu²⁺(CSASN:Eu) red phosphor is widely used to improve color rendering of high-power phosphor-converted lighting diode (pc-WLED), but it is always unstable under high temperature and high humidity environments. Therefore, the studies on the temperature and humidity resistance of red phosphors and their aging mechanism have...
