Comparison of thermal and reliability performance between a SiC MOSFET module with embedded decoupling capacitors and commercial Si IGBT power modules (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Yang, L., Agyakwa, P., Corfield, M., Johnson, M., Harris, A., Packwood, M., & Paciura, K. (2018). Comparison of thermal and reliability performance between a SiC MOSFET module with embedded decoupling capacitors and commercial Si IGBT power modules.

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 non-destructive study of crack development during thermal cycling of Al wire bonds using x-ray computed tomography (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Agyakwa, P., Yang, L., Corfield, M., & Johnson, C. M. (2014). A non-destructive study of crack development during thermal cycling of Al wire bonds using x-ray computed tomography.

This paper concerns the non-destructive visualisation of the evolution of damage within ultrasonically bonded alumini-um wires using three dimensional x-ray computed tomography. We demonstrate the potential to observe the progressive accumulation of...
