چکیده
The market for power semiconductor modules is spreading not only to general-purpose inverters, servo motor drives, NC machine tools and elevators but also to new applications through the realization of electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. Fuji Electric has developed various power modules in response to market needs, and as the market expands in the future, the required performance for power modules will surely become diversified and advanced. This paper introduces our efforts to lengthen the power cycling lifetime of IGBTs (insulated gate bipolar transistors), which is of great importance to the market.
