A lack of planarity along the interface between the solder and the ceramic raft in an IGBT module is a common anomaly that can make heat dissipation uneven across the die and cause the die to crack.

Dissipated heat in a junction is one of the major effects that can influence the reliability of die-attach materials used in an IGBT’s chip. Power cycling tests are ideal to mimic the lifecycle of a ...

This paper presents a novel 3-phase IGBT module called the SPM (Smart Power Module). This is a new design developed to provide a very compact, low cost, high perfor- mance and reliable motor drive ...
