Abstract

High power IGBT module is widely used in the field of rail transit, in which the module failure caused by overheating is the most common. In this paper, the cause of thermal stress in IGBT module is analyzed, and the three-dimensional finite element model of IGBT module packaging structure is established by using ANSYS software. Finally, the temperature field and stress distribution under the coupling effect of temperature field and structure field are obtained. The results show that the bonding wire is close to the chip with higher temperature, so it has higher thermal stress and is easy to fail.
