Inhalt:
The determination of chip temperature is a key element in the reliability assessment and thermal characterization of the power semiconductor devices. In modern power semiconductor devices like IGBTs, the square-root-t method can cause deviation in the determination of the maximum junction temperature (Tvj(max)). The influence of boundary conditions (such as power loss density) on the applicability of the square-root-t method will be evaluated in this paper and a new fitting method will be introduced.
