POWER IGBT

The first PrimePACK™ 2 product from Infineon implementing IGBT5 and .XT joining technology with copper wire bonding and sintered silver die attach.

The market outlook for the power electronics industry is promising. In 2018, the power semiconductor device market segment was worth US$17.5 billion, with a forecast compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the 2018-2024 period of 3.2%.

The biggest growth is set to be driven by IGBT modules, which represent 23% of the total market in 2018 and is expected to increase in coming years. That’s why various players are currently investing in new manufacturing lines. Infineon has invested US$1.9 billion in Villach to build a second fab for power devices on 300mm wafers.

Industrial applications are one of the main appealing markets for IGBT modules. For this purpose, Infineon released the FF1200R12IE5, which is its first PrimePACK™ 2 product with IGBT5 and .XT joining technology. This novel joining technology implements copper wire bonding and sintered silver as a die attach layer.
The module employs Infineon’s IGBT5 TRENCHSTOP™ and Emitter Controlled 5 diode in 1200V Half-Bridge configuration with a nominal current rating of 1200 A.

This report presents a deep analysis of the FF1200R12IE5 module. Supported by a full teardown of the module’s components and housing, this report reveals Infineon’s design of the IGBT5 and EC5 diode as well as its innovative assets in the PrimePACK™ 2 packaging.

This report includes an estimated manufacturing cost of all the module’s components and a selling price analysis. It also offers a comparison between IGBT3, IGBT4 and IGBT5 technologies from Infineon.
These comparisons highlight differences in the die design, packaging, electrical performances, and manufacturing costs.
