Popis: International audience; The use of very high voltage power modules (> 10 kV) requires the implementation of appropriate structures for the device packaging. Particularly the triple point between the insulating substrate, the metallization and the encapsulation is subjected to strong electric field stress. A novel architecture is proposed for the metallized ceramic substrate. Its interest is validated by using finite element method simulations to analyze the electric field distribution inside the module. It is shown that creating a gap between the top electrodes thus forming mesa structures, enables a significant spreading of the equipotential lines. The resulting maximum electric field decreases exponentially versus the height of the mesa structure, with better results than when simply increasing the thickness of the ceramic in a conventional module structure.
