Parameter extraction methodology and validation for an electro-thermal physics-based NPT IGBT model

A physics-based dynamic electro-thermal nonpunch through (NPT) insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) model is presented. For the electrical and thermal parameters an extraction methodology is given. The model reproduces the static, dynamic and short circuit characteristics of the IGBT.
