Abstract :
This paper reviews the main failure mechanisms occurring in modern power modules
paying special attention to insulated gate bipolar transistor devices for
high-power applications. This compendium provides the main failure modes, the
physical or chemical processes that lead to the failure, and reports some major
technological countermeasures, which are used for realizing the very stringent
reliability requirements imposed in particular by the electrical traction
applications.
