Popis: | This paper presents a methodology, based on 3D electro-thermal simulation, to investigate failures of vertical power MOSFET due to metallization ageing of source terminal. Modelling steps to obtain a 3D finite element modelling of MOSFET are presented with the smart approximations and limitations of MOSFET electrical behaviour. The effects of bonding wire gauge and contact area with top metallization are studied to optimize the power device design. The power device thermal runaway phenomenon and hot spot formation has been simulated and discussed. |
