We developed a new technology for the Fuji 4th generation power module for hybrid vehicle application. It achieved a 30-% volume reduction, and a 33-% weight reduction compared to the 3r d generation. Requirement trends for the power module for hybrid vehicles are high energy-efficient, downsizing, lightweight and higher reliability. To achieve these requirements, IGBT module needs low thermal resistance and high operating temperature. We developed new technologies, 1) New cooling structure with high cooling performance. 2) The Tjmax.=175°C continuous operation with automotive required quality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
