Effect of load sequence interaction on bond-wire lifetime due to power cycling

Abstract Experimental investigations on the effects of load sequence on degradations of bond-wire contacts of Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors power modules are reported in this paper. Both the junction temperature swing ( $$\Delta T_{j}$$ Δ T j ) and the heating duration ( $$t_{ON}$$ t ON ) are i...
