Condition monitoring for detection of humidity-induced failures in control electronics of power converters
This paper presents a condition monitoring system for predicting failures of power converters in humid environments by detection of moisture-induced structural changes on printed circuit boards. To this end, probable failure mechanisms and possible condition monitoring concepts are presented. Subsequently, a condition monitoring concept is developed that targets electrochemical migration as a dominant failure mechanism, detecting potential failures by using comb structures as condition indicators or canaries. A suitable circuit is designed, consisting of a high voltage supply for inducing electrochemical migration and a transimpedance amplifier to measure surface insulation resistance, using a minimum number of common components and PCB space. The circuit is realized as a prototype and subjected to characterization and long-term measurements.
期刊介绍:
Microelectronics Reliability, is dedicated to disseminating the latest research results and related information on the reliability of microelectronic devices, circuits and systems, from materials, process and manufacturing, to design, testing and operation. The coverage of the journal includes the following topics: measurement, understanding and analysis; evaluation and prediction; modelling and simulation; methodologies and mitigation. Papers which combine reliability with other important areas of microelectronics engineering, such as design, fabrication, integration, testing, and field operation will also be welcome, and practical papers reporting case studies in the field and specific application domains are particularly encouraged.
Most accepted papers will be published as Research Papers, describing significant advances and completed work. Papers reviewing important developing topics of general interest may be accepted for publication as Review Papers. Urgent communications of a more preliminary nature and short reports on completed practical work of current interest may be considered for publication as Research Notes. All contributions are subject to peer review by leading experts in the field.
