Inhalt:
A novel approach to implementing a 15A/600V intelligent power module using a new type of DBC substrate is presented. The module is 40% smaller than other intelligent power modules having a similar current and voltage specification which use IMS, lead frames or other combinations of substrates in their construction. Despite the reduction in size, the thermal resistance of the package is 5% lower. Careful optimization of the IGBT and diode reduces the overall power losses by 5%.
