Local thermal runaway during surge events in power rectifiers
This article presents a model for device failure of power rectifiers during surge current events. A possible failure cause of those devices are exceeding surge currents. Therefore, the detailed understanding of the device behaviour under surge conditions and the related failure mode is essential to achieve and maintain a stable device performance. In this work, the IFSM failure mode is investigated in terms of experimental determination of the failure temperature for rectifier diodes. The failure locations of the stressed devices are determined on the chip and partial-electro-thermal simulations are run to model the temperature distribution. The simulated temperature distribution matches with the analysed failure locations. The failure can be explained by local thermal runaway for PN as well as Schottky diodes, if hole injection from the PN junction or the Schottky contact is taken into account.
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.
