The paper presents a novel and efficient method for optimizing the structure of IGBT power modules, considering both power cycling and thermal cycling effects. The multiobjective optimization approach effectively identifies Pareto-optimal solutions, demonstrating the conflicting nature of optimization objectives related to different failure mechanisms. This methodology offers a significant advancement in the design of power electronic modules for enhanced reliability and performance under specific operational conditions.
