description IGBT modules are core components of power electronic converters, and their reliability has gained significant attention. Among various reliability concerns, bond wire fatigue is a prominent issue. Bond wire fatigue can alter the electrical characteristics of IGBT modules, affecting the turn-off process of the IGBT. Consequently, it leads to changes in the collector-emitter voltage spike and the auxiliary emitter-emitter voltage spike during the turn-off process. The paper proposes the utilization of the K factor parameter which is not affected by the collector current and junction temperature, based on the collector-emitter voltage spike and the auxiliary emitter-emitter voltage spike, for bond wire fatigue monitoring of IGBT modules. Additionally, the monitoring of bond wire fatigue and junction temperature of IGBT modules was achieved based on the K factor parameter and the auxiliary emitter-emitter voltage spike. This provides a basis for the reliability assessment of IGBT modules.
