Semiconductor Power Devices by Josef Lutz,Heinrich Schlangenotto,Uwe Scheuermann,Rik De Doncker Pdf

Semiconductor power devices are the heart of power electronics. They determine the performance of power converters and allow topologies with high efficiency. Semiconductor properties, pn-junctions and the physical phenomena for understanding power devices are discussed in depth. Working principles of state-of-the-art power diodes, thyristors, MOSFETs and IGBTs are explained in detail, as well as key aspects of semiconductor device production technology. In practice, not only the semiconductor, but also the thermal and mechanical properties of packaging and interconnection technologies are essential to predict device behavior in circuits. Wear and aging mechanisms are identified and reliability analyses principles are developed. Unique information on destructive mechanisms, including typical failure pictures, allows assessment of the ruggedness of power devices. Also parasitic effects, such as device induced electromagnetic interference problems, are addressed. The book concludes with modern power electronic system integration techniques and trends.

Power Electronics Semiconductor Devices by Robert Perret Pdf

This book relates the recent developments in several key electrical engineering R&D labs, concentrating on power electronics switches and their use. The first sections deal with key power electronics technologies, MOSFETs and IGBTs, including series and parallel associations. The next section examines silicon carbide and its potentiality for power electronics applications and its present limitations. Then, a dedicated section presents the capacitors, key passive components in power electronics, followed by a modeling method allowing the stray inductances computation, necessary for the precise simulation of switching waveforms. Thermal behavior associated with power switches follows, and the last part proposes some interesting prospectives associated to Power Electronics integration.

Power Semiconductor Devices and Circuits by A.A. Jaecklin Pdf

This symposium was the sCientific-technical event of the centennial celebration of the Asea Brown Boveri Switzerland. The purpose was to assess the present state of the art as well as shaping the basis for future progress in the area of power devices and related power circuits. The merger of Brown Boveri (BBC) with Asea to Asea Brown Boveri (ABB) three years ago gave new stimulus and enriched the technical substance of the symposium. By 1991, 100 years after the formation of BBC in Switzerland as a single company, this organization has been decentralized, forming 35 independent ABB companies. One of them - ABB Semiconductors Ltd. - directly deals with the power semiconductor business. These significant changes reflect the changes in the market place: increased competition and higher customer expectations have to be fulfilled. In line with the core business activities of ABB and with the concept of sustainable development, it is natural for ABB to be active in the area of power devices and circuits. Increased awareness towards energy conservation is one of the main drives for these activities. User friendliness is another drive: integration of intelligent functions, e.g. protection and/or increased direct computer interfacing of the power circuits. Therefore, also the R&D activities related to the subject of thIs symposium will in the future be characterized by an even stronger coupling with the market needs. For the members of the R&D Laboratories this means improved customer partnership beyond operational excellence.
