Power Cycling Test Circuit for Thermal Fatigue Resistance Analysis of Solder Joints in IGBT
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper will give a detailed presentation of an active power cycling test bench in high temperature conditions developed to ageing the solder between the Direct Copper Bonding (DCB) and the base of IGBT devices. The average junction temperature measurement protocol, the temperature regulation of the base plate, the acquisition of all the electrical signals, and the performance of the test circuit will be presented and discussed. Moreover, a thermal modelling presentation has been used to define the power cycling test parameters. The paper will present results of long time power cycling tests in server working conditions in the case of a base plate temperature equal to 90 °C, for a power injection of 300 W/cm during 10 s.

Reliability of Substrate Solder Joints from Power Cycling Tests
The lifetime of the solder joint between base plate and ceramic substrate is usually tested by passively heating and cooling the IGBT module (thermal cycling). This provokes failures (delamination) in that solder layer. But, the IGBT and diode dies are actively heated in the application. Other failure modes (e.g. bond wire lift off) are addressed and limit the lifetime. This kind of stress is u...
متن کاملEffect of substrate flexibility on solder joint reliability. Part II: finite element modeling
Solder joint fatigue failure is a serious reliability concern in area array technologies, such as flip chip and ball grid array packages of integrated-circuit chips. The selection of different substrate materials could affect solder joint thermal fatigue life significantly. The mechanism of substrate flexibility on improving solder joint thermal fatigue was investigated by thermal mechanical an...
متن کاملMeasurement of Thermomechanical Behavior of Solder Joints under Power Cycling Condition Using Moire Interferometry
Failure mechanisms exposed by environmental accelerating testing methods such as thermal cycling or thermal shock test, may differ from those at the service operating conditions. While the device is heated up or cooled down evenly on its external surface during environmental testing, real operating powered devices experience temperature gradients caused by internal local heating, components’ di...
متن کاملPredicting Fatigue of Solder Joints Subjected to High Number of Power Cycles
Solder joint reliability of SMT components connected to printed circuit boards is well documented. However, much of the testing and data is related to high-strain energy thermal cycling experiments relevant to product qualification testing (i.e., -55C to 125C). Relatively little information is available on low-strain, high-cycle fatigue behavior of solder joints, even though this is increasingl...
