Abstract:
The surface temperature is underestimated at the determination of Zth of IGBTs with the VCE (T) method. This is of relevance for application since the thermal resistance Rth will be measured as too low. For diodes with the pn-junction on the topside, this error is not given. More importantly, the error due to the delay time can be corrected by the model of the simulation of the thermal network with ANSYS or a simplified Cauer network, but not the error due to the internal semiconductor processes.
