technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of power electronic devices, and in particular relates to a thermoelectric coupling modeling method of power semiconductor chip cells. Background technique [0002] Power modules are widely used in new energy vehicle powertrain systems. The trend of high power density and high integration intensifies the temperature gradient on the chip surface, and the electrical parameters of the cells have a temperature change effect, which leads to the uneven distribution of current density on the chip. Due to the over-current operation of semiconductor chips under extreme working conditions such as low-speed high-torque, heavy-duty stator stalls, and acceleration during start-up, the uneven distribution of cell current is more serious, and the formation mechanism of the on-chip temperature field is still unclear. to hidden dangers. Therefore, it is particularly urgent to model and analyze the electrical temperature field on the...

Problems solved by technology

However, this type of finite element simulation software adopts Ohm's law to solve the thermoelectric coupling effect, that is, the object of solution is required to be pure resistance characteristics, and the electrical characteristics of power semiconductor chips are essentially different from pure resistance, and the chip conductivity is also greatly different from that of silicon. Material conductivity, which limits the ability of finite element software to solve problems that take into account the electrical properties of semiconductor chips

In addition, under actual application conditions, the application environment of power semiconductor chips is complex, and the external working conditions such as voltage and current are in a state of drastic changes, and the finite element commercial software cannot accurately characterize the electrical characteristics of the chip under the continuous change of current, and then predict the chip electrical characteristics. There is a great disadvantage in the accuracy of the electric temperature field
