IGBT - NTC Thermistor Chip


One of the most critical parameters of IGBT module converter device is the temperature of IGBT chip. The way to get this information is to install a NTC thermistor component on a chip or as part of a chip. It will reduce the effective area of the chip's current capacity. A viable alternative is used to determine the temperature of the chip, starting with the temperature of the measured substrate as a known point and using the thermal model to calculate the temperature of the IGBT.


In the power electronics module of many well-known IGBT manufacturers, IGBT NTC thermistor is usually integrated as a temperature sensor to simplify the design of precise temperature measurement. Some of IGBT's new encapsulation modules contain temperature sensors ( NTC thermistor chip ) inside. Such as  PIM; EconoPACK FS series; Econobridge; EasyPIM; EasyPACK; Easybridge; Econo-FourPACk; Econodual+ etc.


NTC is a negative temperature coefficient resistance, which can effectively detect the steady-state shell temperature (Tc) of the power module. The IGBT NTC thermistor parameters encapsulated in the module are identical. NTC installed near the silicon to achieve tight thermal coupling. According to the different modules, it can be used to measure the temperature of the module shell temperature sensors and chips encapsulation directly on the same ceramic substrate (DCB). IGBT NTC thermistor can also be installed on a single substrate, it can greatly simplifies the measurement process of the temperature of module shell.
