Chapter 11 Reliability of power module CONTENTS Page 1 Basis of the reliability …………………………………… 11-2 2 Reliability test condition …………………………………… 11-3 3 Power cycle curve …………………………………… 11-5 Market of the power modules will widely spread towards the various applications such as green energy generation and electric vehicle as well as widely used inverters. Until now, Fuji Electric has been responded to the market demand for the power modules. In future, required performance for them is going to be advanced depending on the wider market. It is important to pay attention to the reliability to respond for these demands. In this section, reliability for power modules, especially IGBT modules, will be expresses. 11-1 Chapter 11 Reliability of power module 1 Basis of the reliability Time-dependent change of the failure rate for electronics parts and components including power modules is shown in Fig.1. Generally, it is described a curve like bathtub. There are three durations of early failures, random failures and wear-out failures in this failure rate curve. Failure rate Failure rate Wear-out failures Wear-out failures Early failures Early failures Random Random failures failures
