In one embodiment, a transistor module fatigue life determination method is provided, which is applied in the fatigue life determination of GD50HFL120C1S module. The internal structure of the GD50HFL120C1S module is shown in fig. 3, in which the terminal No. 1 is the collector of the tube 1, the terminal No. 2 is the emitter of the tube 1, and is also connected to the collector of the tube 2, 7 is the emitter voltage lead-out terminal of the tube 1, and 6 is the gate of the tube 1; terminal No. 3 is the emitter of tube 2, 5 is the emitter voltage terminal of tube 2, and 4 is the gate of tube 2, through which the electrical characteristics of the module can be measured. Considering that the module is of a double-tube structure, one IGBT chip is selected for analysis. Since the thermal conductivity of the encapsulant and the filled silicone is low, the heat is mainly dissipated downward through the copper substrate, and therefore, neglecting the silicone and the encapsulation above, the top of the module is considered to be in an adiabatic condition.
As shown in fig. 4, a finite element model of the IGBT module is established, a simulation model is established according to the physical model of the GD50HFL120C1S module, and the finite element model is obtained by meshing the simulation model. Applying a current load, selecting a current amplitude of 80A, a period of 6s and a duty ratio of 1/2, and calculating to obtain temperature, potential and thermal stress distribution through electro-thermal-structure coupling, wherein the temperature distribution, the potential distribution and the thermal stress distribution of the IGBT module are shown as 9s in FIGS. 5-7. By combining the yield strengths of the materials, as shown in fig. 8, which is an equivalent plastic deformation diagram of the IGBT module at 9s, it can be determined that the bonding wire has undergone plastic deformation, and the thermal stress on the other layers of materials is smaller than the yield strength thereof, and only elastic deformation occurs, so that the fatigue life of the IGBT module is longer than that of the bonding wire, and therefore the fatigue life of the IGBT module should be the number of cycles of strain fatigue failure of the bonding wire.
On the other hand, through fatigue test, stress and strain amplitude control is adopted, tension-compression symmetric fatigue is carried out (stress ratio R is equal to-1), the frequency is 50Hz, and a relation curve between the stress strain and the corresponding fracture cycle N is established. Considering the actual processing, the basic fatigue curve is corrected to obtain a stress fatigue curve (S-N curve) of the bonding wire without plastic strain, which can be expressed as the following formula (1):
Nf=4.13e52·σ-32.06(1)
and the strain fatigue curve (epsilon-N curve) when the bonding wire is plastically strained can be expressed by the following formula (2):
Nf=46.2·ε-1.09(2)
where σ represents the stress magnitude, ε represents the strain increment,N findicating the corresponding fatigue life.
The fatigue life of the IGBT module under the current load can be determined to be 8568 times according to the corrected epsilon-N curve and the calculation result of the electric-thermal-structure field.
The stress and equivalent plastic strain at different shell temperatures can be obtained by numerical calculation with varying applied load as shown in table 1 below, with a junction temperature of 51 ℃ being the demarcation point for elastic and plastic strain. A fatigue life prediction model of the IGBT module can be established by data fitting according to the data in table 1 as shown in fig. 9.

According to the curve relation in fig. 9, the fatigue life of the bonding wire can be predicted only by measuring the saturation voltage drop at the external port without measuring the internal junction temperature first, so that the step of predicting the fatigue life of the bonding wire is simplified. The device is overhauled and replaced in advance according to the fatigue life under different saturation pressure drops, and equipment failure caused by fatigue failure can be avoided.
