  • Abstract
    The reliability of IGBT modules was investigated with respect to the metallized ceramic (substrate) and the solder layer between the substrate and copper baseplate. Thermal cycles were performed between -55°C and +150°C on substrates based on different technologies and from various manufacturers. An incipient delamination of the metallization could be predicted from the mechanical resonance frequency. The warping of the substrates after cycling due to crack propagation and the adhesion of the metallization were determined. Thermal and active-power cycles were performed on 1200 A/ 3.3 kV IGBT power modules to investigate the reliability of the solder joint between substrate and baseplate. © 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
