Below the Surface: Why Thermal Failure Is Still the No. 1 Killer in Power Electronics

08/13/2026 | Chandra Gupta -- Column: Below the Surface
Why do power electronics fail? There’s a range of answers, from overvoltage and mechanical stress to poor assembly and environmental exposure. If you ask your favorite AI search engine for an answer, you’ll get a pretty simple response: excessive temperature leads to component degradation, material breakdown, and eventual failure. In a sense, that’s true, but it’s oversimplified and incomplete. The real issue is thermal management failure at the system level. Heat is still the number one killer, and most of the time, you don’t even realize it’s there.

Heron Power Selects First U.S. Factory for Next-Generation Power Electronics

Heron Power, an American advanced power electronics manufacturer, announced it has selected Morgan Hill, California as the home of its first large-scale factory.

Advanced Electronic Packaging: The Industry's New Innovation Engine

08/13/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007
Over the past several years, advanced packaging has moved from the back end of semiconductor manufacturing to becoming one of the electronics industry's most strategic technologies in the ecosystem. At many IEEE conferences, discussions that once centered almost exclusively on transistor scaling now devote equal attention to chiplets, heterogeneous integration, co-design, advanced substrates, thermal management, and system-level packaging.

More Than Moore Enabled by Advanced Packaging and Heterogeneous Integration

08/13/2026 | Chetan Arvind Patil, Marvell Technology
For more than a half-century, Moore's Law has been the defining principle of semiconductor innovation. By continually shrinking transistor dimensions, the semiconductor industry delivered exponential improvements in computing performance, energy efficiency, and integration density. Each new technology node enabled more transistors to be placed on a single die, reducing the cost per transistor and making electronic systems smaller, faster, and more capable. Though this scaling continues to advance, it is no longer the sole driver of system-level innovation, which now increasingly comes from a combination of scaling and advanced packaging.

A Practical Approach to Material Selection for High Power PCBs

08/13/2026 | Drew Delaney, Isola Group
With AI server architectures demanding high-power converter solutions to improve power efficiency and affordability, PCB design can challenge engineers who treat material selection as a single-variable problem. Pick a laminate for thermal conductivity, and you may experience a CTE mismatch that cracks vias after 50 thermal cycles. Optimize for dielectric loss, and you might sacrifice the isolation margin your certification depends on. High-power boards require consideration of multiple variables, including electrical, thermal, mechanical, reliability, and manufacturability, which cannot be optimized alone.
