Acoustically Mapping IGBT Module Solder Thickness
Previously, a Power Electronics Technology article titled “Inverted Acoustic System Cuts IGBT Failures” (September 2011) examined the use of an acoustic microscope to image heat-blocking defects such as voids and non-bonds in the solder typically used to bond a heat sink to the bottom side of an IGBT module. Finding these defects makes...
