Six-pack IGBT dynamic electro-thermal model: parameter extraction and validation

An electro-thermal simulation model is developed for a six-pack IGBT power module. A measurement system suitable for extracting transient thermal data for short term, high-power heating conditions is used in this work for thermal model validation. A set of parameter extraction software tools is used to extract the electrical parameters as well as temperature dependent parameters associated with the IGBT die within the module.
