| Abstract |
Reliability is a major economic and technical challenge for power electronics. This paper aims at exploring the impact of reconstruction of source metallization [1] due to ageing on temperature and mechanical strain distributions within a smart power device. Based on 3D FEM electro-thermal simulations, we explore thermal and mechanical impact of source metallization ageing on bonding wires during operation. |
