Dependence of IGBT Junction-Case Steady State Thermal Resistance on Heating Current
نویسندگان
چکیده
High heating current dependence of the IGBT module junction-case steady state thermal resistance is investigated. The conception of the thermal resistance and the physical structure of the IGBT module and the thermal impedance test principle are briefly introduced. The junction-case thermal resistance can be deduced by Finite Element Method in the numerical simulator ANSYS. The transient thermal impedance curve and the junction-case steady state thermal resistance of a certain type of IGBT are obtained by the thermal resistance test experiments. It’s found that the junction-case steady state thermal resistance decreased when the heating current increased. When the high heating current reaches a certain level, the steady state thermal resistance becomes a constant.

The thermal behavior of visible AIGaInP-GaInP ridge laser diodes is investigated numerically and experimentally. It is shown that various parameters critically influence the thermal resistance R of such devices. R is inversely proportional to the thermal conductivity of the heatsink. A substantial improvement in R-quite larger than in the AlGaAs system-is achieved for junction-side-down mountin...
