Electro-Thermal Simulation of Multi-channel Power Devices: From Workbench to Simplorer by means of Model Reduction
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present an efficient algorithm for the thermal simulation and design of multichannel power semiconductor devices. The simulation workflow starts with a finite element discretization of the heat transfer equation. In a second step, the resulting large system of differential equations is approximated with a reduced order model by means of the Arnoldi algorithm. The reduced order model is formulated as a state space representation suitable for the electro-thermal board/chip system analysis in a system simulation.
