Multi-Objective Design Optimization of Power Module Performances

Abstract

As next-generation power modules develop with three-dimensional wiring structures and high-speed switching schemes, strategies to reduce the parasitic inductance and temperature will be essential to meet the increasingly demanding workloads. In this study, we developed a multi-objective design optimization system for power modules and rendered Pareto solutions outlining the inductance of the path between the main terminals, the total inductance of the paths between the control terminals, and the surface temperature of the path between the main terminals, being useful to design power modules with utmost thermal and inductance performance.
