Comparison of thermal and reliability performance between a SiC MOSFET module with embedded decoupling capacitors and commercial Si IGBT power modules (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yang, L., Agyakwa, P., Corfield, M., Johnson, M., Harris, A., Packwood, M., & Paciura, K. Comparison of thermal and reliability performance between a SiC MOSFET module with embedded decoupling capacitors and commercial Si IGBT power modules. Presented at 10th International Conference on Integrated Power Electronics (CIPS 2018)

This paper characterizes thermal and reliability performance of a SiC MOSFET power module with embedded decoupling capacitors and without anti-parallel diodes. Active and passive temperature cycling, supported by transient thermal impedance character...

A thermal cycling reliability study of ultrasonically bonded copper wires (2016)
Journal Article
Arjmand, E., Agyakwa, P. A., Corfield, M. R., Li, J., Mouawad, B., & Mark Johnson, C. (2016). A thermal cycling reliability study of ultrasonically bonded copper wires. Microelectronics Reliability, 59, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.microrel.2016.01.009

In this work we report on a reliability investigation regarding heavy copper wires ultrasonically bonded onto active braze copper substrates. The results obtained from both a non-destructive approach using 3D X-ray tomography and shear tests showed n...
