An improved behavioral IGBT model and its characterization tool

In this paper an improvement made to the behavioral IGBT model available in the Saber simulator is described. The saturation characteristics have been improved and a characterization tool in order to increase the model ease of use is developed. Using this tool, a 1200 V/600 A commercial IGBT (MITSUBISHI CM 600 HA-24 H) has been fully characterized. The model shows good agreement with measured results.
