Design and Manufacturing of a Double-Side Cooled, SiC based, High Temperature Inverter Leg
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a small (25x25x3 mm) power module that integrates two silicon-carbide (SiC) JFETs to form an inverter leg. This module has a ”sandwich” structure, i.e. the power devices are placed between two ceramic substrates, allowing for heat extraction from both sides of the dies. All interconnects are made by silver sintering, which offers a very high temperature capability (the melting point of pure silver being 961 °C). The risk of silver migration is assessed, and we show that Parylene-HT, a dielectric material that can sustain more than 300 °C, can completely coat the module, providing adequate protection.

Although LCL filters are used widely in the grid connected inverters to reduce high-orderharmonics, such a system increases system order and therefore sustainable design of closed-loopcontroller system will be complicated. Recently, the single-loop control strategy has beensuggested for L or LC filter based grid-connected inverters. However, the use of single-loopcontrol directly in LCL filter-...

The omnipresent trend of increasing the power density of inverter technology lead to new developments in semiconductor material. As most of the benefits come from higher operating junction temperatures, it is mandatory to restrict the inverter design to peripheral components capable to work in these high temperature conditions. Eliminating the needs for large DC-link capacitors, the matrix conv...
