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 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.
