Abstract

Electronic power devices used for transportation applications experience severe temperature variations which promote their thermal fatigue and failure of DBC substrates. The Weibull approach was used to model the brittle fracture of the ceramic layer from a natural defect. Besides, geometric singularities in the upper ceramic/copper interface are at the origin of cracks, which grow by fatigue and finally bifurcate and break the ceramic layer.
