Abstract :
The unified electro-thermal modelling of the IGBT and power PiN diode based on modified minority carrier drift- diffusion (DD) theory is described in this paper. PiN and IGBT models are embedded in PSPICE commercial simulation software and successfully tested against commercially available power devices.
