摘要: This paper proposes a method to identify damage-sensitive electrical parameters (DESPs) for insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) bond wires. Multiphysics simulations are performed emulate the realistic electrical, thermal and mechanical behaviors of IGBT module. Temperature-dependent material properties considered in silicon chips aluminum Steady-state electro-thermo-mechanical simulation results modules given collector current presented. The degradation mechanisms wire-bonding crack propagation complete lift-off explored. Simulations validated through power cycling tests. trend measured forward voltage V CE(on) is similar result. modeling can be used evaluate health status module
