Thyristor / Diode Modules
One of the essential advantages of pow-
er semiconductor modules compared to
discrete designs is the electrical isolation
between the baseplate of the module and
the parts subject to voltage (3.6 kV
tested). This makes possible the mount-
down of any number of the same or dif-
ferent modules on a common heatsink. It
is feasible to use standard housings with
appropriate accessories for designing
compact power converter operating from
AC mains up to 690 V.
Plastic Housing with DCB Sub-
strate
IXYS has succeeded in simplifying the
conventional multilayer module con-
struction by the DCB (Direct Copper
Bonding) technique.
Other features are:
• top-side electrical terminals with cap-
• series-connected diode/diode, thyristor/
• easy assembly.
All thyristor modules with DCB ceramic
base contacts are available in volume
with two standardized twin plugs (2.8 mm
x 0.8 mm) for gate and auxiliary cathode
control terminals (version 1). Modules in
TO-240 housing of the version 8 are de-
livered with gate plugs only (without au-
xiliary cathode terminal; mounting srews
available on request). The module hou-
sing is designed for adequate clearance
and creepage distance resulting in
recognition by Underwriters Laboratories,
Inc., USA for all types.

New Generation Silicon Chips
The figures 1 a-c show cross sections
of the used thyristor and diode chips in
the passivation area. All chips are de-
signed by applying separation diffusion
processes such that the zones respon-
sible for the surface field strength are
located at the upper chip side. This re-
sults in the capability of soldering the
entire chip area onto the DCB ceramic
substrate without a molybdenum strain
buffer, which in turn leads to good stabi-
lity of the chips as well as to large area
heat dissipation if a load is applied. All
zones at the edges which are decisive
for the blocking stability are coated with
passivation glasses the coefficient of ex-
pansion of which match that of silicon.
Silicon chips increasingly use planar
technology with guard rings and chan-
nel stoppers to reduce electrical surface
fields. This chip design supercedes the
design of thyristor chips which were fa-
bricated with passivation moats so that
modules of the new series designed with
the updated state-of-the-art utilize planar
passivated chips processed by separati-
on diffusion techniques. The contact are-
as of the chips possess physical vapor
deposited metal layers. For the user the
improved properties are:
• Excellent long-term stability of blocking
• increased life time of the internal sol-
• high power cycling capability (> 50 000).

Data according to IEC 60747 and refer to a single diode or thyristor unless otherwise stated.
The thyristor/diode chips have been
optimized with regard to their turn-off
parameters: decreasing the carrier life-
time results in reduced stored charges
QS, which in turn significantly reduces
requirements for RC-snubbers for over-
voltage protection. Cost reduction and
improved efficiency are the benefits of
these characteristics. By re-developing
the silicon chips, improvements of the
firing characteristics were achieved by
speci-fying a higher „gate current not to
fire“ IGD resulting in substantially less
suscepibility to misfiring. This leads to
greater safety of operation and higher
reliability of the equipment.
