Abstract

In this publication, test results of power cycling tests are presented with 600V IGBT power modules for hybrid electrical vehicle (HEV) applications at high junction temperatures. First, the power cycling capability of standard packaging technology in wide ΔT <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">j</sub> range is investigated. Afterwards the reliability improvement of new packaging technologies is shown.
