The recent developments in power semiconductor devices and increasing demands on reliability as well as on operation performance require innovative package technologies. Such a novel package technique based on a Planar Interconnect Technology (SiPLIT®) for power modules is introduced in this work. This package features thick Cu interconnects on a high-reliable insulating film for power semiconductor chip top contacts. Due to the conductor structure and contact technology, on-resistance and stray inductances are very low compared to state-of-the-art Al wire bonds. In addition, large area contacting improves the power cycling capability and surge current robustness significantly. These remark-able properties have been verified on several prototype modules where the manufacturing process has also been optimised in terms of cost-effectiveness, system integration and maturity for series production.

Increased productivity in industrial processes can be achieved by dynamic and accurate positioning of servo drives. Therefore, improvement of servo drive dynamics using latest technologies in the key components such as inverter, control system and position measuring device are investigated. Using Gallium Nitride (GaN) or Silicon Carbide (SiC) semiconductors for motor inverters enables energy efficient operation up to pulse width modulation (PWM) frequencies of 500 kHz. This allows motor filters with small component sizes. As a result, high motor efficiency, low torque ripple, high control bandwidth and almost ideal sinusoidal output voltages are achieved. Experiments on a 200 kHz Gallium Nitride inverter with sine wave motor filter show a current control loop bandwidth of 3.2 kHz and almost ideal sinusoidal phase voltages. The achieved bandwidths of the speed and position control loops are 318 Hz and 106 Hz, respectively.
Recent development of GaN power transistors with blocking voltages up to 650V enables novel power electronics applications with outstanding performance in high-frequency operation. This paper demonstrates a class E power amplifier with 13.56MHz switching frequency for inductively coupled DC power supplies. Continuous wave output power up to 200W is achieved with 95% Power Added Efficiency (PAE).
A gate drive circuit for gallium nitride (GaN) enhancement mode (e-mode) transistors is presented, which avoids parasitic turn-on of the power devices in the halfbridge configuration. New e-mode GaN devices turn on at very low threshold voltages between 1V and 2V. This makes the transistors highly sensitive to spurious turn-on and thus reduces the required safety margin of the gate drive signals. To avoid this parasitic turn-on, a very low gate loop impedance is required. This prevents the halfbridge against bridge shorts during the switching events and guarantees stable gate drive control with increased switching efficiency. The new gate drive circuit is developed in a SPICE simulation environment and verified in a prototype setup by a double pulse test. The simulation matches very well with the experimental result and demonstrates the suppression of parasitic semiconductor turn-on with the proposed gate drive. Furthermore the dissipated switching energy is reduced, compared to a standard gate drive circuit. High DCDC converter efficiency of 98.67% at 1kW output power is achieved by using the driving circuit for a buck converter prototype with 200kHz switching frequency.
Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductor devices are promised to be a good alternative to Silicon (Si) semiconductors in future motor inverters for variable frequency drives (VFDs). They combine low on state resistance and low switching losses with a high blocking voltage capability. Compared to actual inverters based on insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) the pulse width modulation (PWM) frequency for efficient operation can be increased by a factor of 5 to 10, extending the PWM frequency range up to 500 kHz. This allows the use of motor filters with small component size. As a result, high motor efficiency, low torque ripple, high control bandwidth and nearly ideal sinusoidal output voltages are achieved. Therefore this inverters can be used for high speed spindle motors and dynamic servo drives. This paper focus on the design of a hybrid sine wave filter consisting of an analog and a digital part. The filter is optimized to achieve low power loss and high current control bandwidth. A 3-phase GaN motor inverter operating at 200 kHz PWM frequency at 400 V DC-link voltage verifies the system design.
