[0002] IGBT, or Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor, is a composite, fully controllable, voltage-driven power semiconductor device composed of a BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor) and a MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor). It combines the advantages of the high input impedance of a MOSFET and the low on-state voltage drop of a GTR. It is ideally suited for applications in converter systems with DC voltages of 600V and above, such as AC motors, frequency converters, switching power supplies, lighting circuits, and traction drives.

[0003] IGBT modules generate heat during operation. As the heat accumulates, the output power will decrease significantly, and the module will not be able to perform at its full potential. Therefore, thermal performance testing is required during the design and production of IGBT modules.

Furthermore, the automation of the thermal performance testing process is low, leaving significant room for improvement.

[0005] In conclusion, the existing technology obviously has inconveniences and defects in practical use, so it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content
