New open-source pipeline enhances IGBT module reliability using swarm optimization

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel open-source pipeline for improving the reliability of insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) modules. This pipeline integrates an open-source finite-element model with surrogate models trained using Simplified Swarm Optimization (SSO). The study found that while SSO and Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II yielded comparable results, a corrected Multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimizer performed less effectively. The FEA confirmation demonstrated that warpage predictions were accurate, but ceramic-stress predictions were optimistic at the design-space bounds. AI

IMPACT Introduces a novel optimization technique that could improve the design and reliability of power electronic components.

    Simplified Swarm Optimization for Surrogate-Assisted Reliability Design of Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor Power Modules Using an Open-Source Process Finite-Element Model

    Process-induced warpage, ceramic stress and solder strain limit the reliability of insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) modules on direct-bonded copper (DBC) substrates. Surrogate-assisted design studies train regression models on finite-element analysis (FEA) databases, but …
