Pm. Igic et al., Dynamic electro-thermal physically based compact models of the power devices for device and circuit simulations, P IEEE SEM, 2001, pp. 35-42
New dynamic electro-thermal models of the power MOSFET, and power bipolar d
evices (PiN diode and IGBT) are presented in this paper. Firstly, electric
device models were made, and then they were transformed into the electrothe
rmal models by adding a thermal node. This thermal node stores information
about junction temperature and it represents a connection between the devic
e and rest of the circuit thermal network. All models have been found to be
efficient and robust in all cases examined.
