This project will characterize DFPAK devices packaged by Diamond Foundry (DF) and build and test the inverter based on such device. Both electrical and thermal tests will be carried out by the UTK team to understand the benefits of using diamonds as thermal interface material, e.g., low thermal impedance thereby smaller footprint, as well as its system-level in electric vehicle (EV) drive inverters.
