IGBT Module Chip Improvements for Industrial Motor Drives

چکیده
Since the introduction of the IGBT module, improvements in power loss have been achieved by applying new technologies. With the process improvements of the past few years in trench gate technology and light-punch-through vertical structures, it had been thought that the performance of the latest IGBT and pin diode silicon power devices had been brought as close to their theoretical limit as possible. In this paper, fine pattern processing technology is applied along with optimization of the low impurity profile of the buffer layer using thin wafer technology to further reduce the power loss.

Mitsubishi Electric has developed a 1.7 kV hybrid SiC power module consisting of 6th generation Si-IGBT and SiC Schottky Barrier Diode (SBD). Adopting SiC-SBD enables a significant power loss reduction during the diode turn-off and IGBT turn-on. And adopting of 6th generation IGBT enables the reduction of the IGBT turn-off loss. By using the newly developed chip set, high temperature enduring g...
متن کاملIGBT Protection in AC or BLDC Motor Drives
In the last decade, industrial AC drives have become more advanced in performance and more compact in size. This is largely due to the rapid development of power silicon technology, including the enhancement of IGBTs and of High Voltage Integrated Circuits. Additionally, this technological growth has been particularly accelerated for low horsepower (< 5 Hp) AC Drives. Yet the ground fault prote...
