Material diagnostics Power electronics

Power electronic devices and modules are becoming increasingly important as they play a significant role in determining the efficiency of generation, conversion, distribution and use of electrical energy in various applications - from mobile phones to hybrid cars and wind turbines. As in other areas of microelectronics, reliability and service life are crucial to the performance of systems. At the same time, very high demands are placed on the quality of components.

With complex material diagnostics, we research the interrelations between microstructural properties of the materials and components used in power electronic components and assessing their application limits. Our work thus plays a significant role in quality assurance.

We support our partners:

• with powerful failure diagnostics and reliability analyses as well as investigations for warranty issues for products with long service life in use
• in the development of innovative material solutions and technologies for power electronics
• with methods of materials analytics to qualify new manufacturing processes for industrial practice
• with modern and optimized diagnostic methods to secure an optimal yield in series production and thus contribute to quality assurance
• by optimizing and developing innovative testing and diagnostic procedures in quality assurance

Our customers benefit from a faster time to market for new materials, material solutions and technologies, as well as from an increase in quality and process reliability. The resulting increase in yield and reduction in field failures in turn leads to increased cost efficiency and helps you to stand out from the competition with reliable and durable products.
