Abstract:
To ensure compact design and cost efficiency for the next generation of hybrid and electric vehicles (HEV), it is important to improve IGBT based power modules not only for the main inverters. This paper describes how both targets can be reached by use of a novel technology for IGBTs and by enhanced package concepts with innovative cooling and interconnections technologies. Utilizing these innovative technologies leads to an enormous reduction of the footprint as well as costs for inverters as a key for the success of HEVs.
