Abstract
This paper introduces a methodology for real-time degradation monitoring and reliability assessment of novel sandwich-type integrated power switches during passive thermal cycling. The proposed approach enables to realistically monitor degradation from time zero, allowing the flexible definition of the most suitable failure criteria and test time.
