Characterize automotive IGBTS – a unique non-destructive power cycling test method.

With increased vehicle electrification the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) market is set to top $50bn by 2023, developing reliable components is critical to business success. These components operate at over 200 degrees Celsius and have been notoriously difficult to characterize.

This paper discusses the a unique non-destructive power cycling test method to characterize these critical components:

• Understand heat path
• Reduce risk of failure
• Improve reliability under high loads

No more repetitive, time-consuming, destructive testing – Simcenter offers an alternative non-destructive method to give insight into component performance.
