Parameter extraction for physics-based IGBT models by electrical measurements

A physics-based power diode model optimized through experiment based parameter extraction

“…It is nowadays recognized that an extraction scheme is crucial in order to design power circuits easily through simulation [6,7,8,9]. Complex or inaccurate parameterization often discourages design engineers from attempting to use physics-based semiconductor models in their circuit designs.…”

Parameter Identification of Power Semiconductor Device Models Using Metaheuristics

“…It is nowadays recognized that an identification procedure is crucial in order to design power circuits easily through simulation (Allard et al, 2003;Claudio et al, 2002;Kang et al, 2003c;Lauritzen et al, 2001). Complex or inaccurate parameterization often discourages design engineers from attempting to use physics-based semiconductor models in their circuit designs.…”

“…This issue is particularly relevant for IGBTs because they are characterized by a large number of parameters. Since IGBT models developed in recent years lack an identification procedure, different recent papers in literature address this issue (Allard et al, 2003;Claudio et al, 2002;Hefner & Bouche, 2000;Kang et al, 2003c;Lauritzen et al, 2001). Different approaches have been taken, most of them cumbersome to be solved since they are very complex and require so precise measurements that are not useful for usual needs of simulation.…”

Development of Physics-based Models and Design Optimization of Power Electronic Conversion Systems

“…Therefore, in order to use this algorithm, there is a need to extract the switch parameters. In [120]- [123] some parameter extraction algorithms for power IGBTs were introduced. To achieve the IGBT's parameters, several testing circuits must be built.…”
