Abstract:
This paper addresses a newly developed IGBT module dedicated for large Electric Vehicle (EV) and Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) power-train inverter applications. The new IGBT module family adopts a 6-in-1 circuit configuration in one package, optimized internal wiring layout, Direct Lead Bond (DLB) structure and direct cooling structure with an integrated water-cooled Al fin. As a result, this new IGBT module family has simultaneously achieved high performance, low self-inductance, compact package and light weight. Compared to conventional products with similar power capabilities, the adoption of these innovative technologies has led to an improved thermal performance of 20%, and has reduced the module’s self-inductance by 30%, the footprint by 50% and the weight by 70%.
