研究目的
To propose and verify an online junction temperature extraction method for SiC power MOSFETs based on the electroluminescence phenomenon of the body diode, using a temperature sensitive optic parameter (TSOP) approach.
研究成果
The electroluminescence in SiC MOSFETs provides a stable and contactless means for online junction temperature estimation, with errors less than ±5°C in experimental verification. It offers advantages over existing methods by being immune to package aging and electromagnetic interference, though sensitivity improvements are needed for broader application.
研究不足
The method has relatively lower sensitivity and requires calibration; it is only applicable when the body diode is conducting (e.g., during dead time in inverters), and the light detection may be affected by ambient conditions and fiber positioning.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study investigates the electroluminescence phenomenon in SiC MOSFET body diodes, develops an electro-thermal-optic model, and designs a photosensitive circuit for light detection.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Commercial SiC MOSFETs from vendors like CREE and Rohm are used, with decapsulated devices for direct observation.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Includes SiC MOSFETs, current sources, heating plates, optic fibers, spectrometers, photodiodes (e.g., SFH250V), differential amplifiers, and a 5kVA SiC inverter.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Spectrum measurements are conducted under controlled temperatures and currents; the method is tested in continuous forward current and PWM inverter conditions with junction temperature calibration.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Linear regression analysis is used to relate light intensity to junction temperature and forward current, with error analysis against fiber optic thermometer measurements.
