Abstract:

Thermal simulations were used to calculate temperatures in a silicon carbide SiC Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor IGBT,simulating device operation in a DC-DC power converter switching at a frequency of up to 15 kHz. Calculations also estimated the effect of solder layers on temperature in the device.
