Product details
Overview
SIDC38D60C8X1SA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 150 A fast-switching silicon power diode die fabricated using Emitter Controlled 3 (EC3) technology with 70 µm thickness and 4.9 × 7.8 mm² chip area. It delivers soft reverse recovery, low Qrr, and stable thermal coefficient, and is designed for integration into high-power IGBT modules used in industrial motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the SIDC38D60C8X1SA1 datasheet, SIDC38D60C8X1SA1 pinout (anode/cathode terminals), SIDC38D60C8X1SA1 application in power modules, or SIDC38D60C8X1SA1 equivalent bare-die diodes, this page provides verified die-level specifications, mechanical layout, thermal ruggedness context, and module-integration guidance - not generic diode catalog data.
Technical Context
This bare die implements Infineon's Emitter Controlled 3 (EC3) process, enabling soft, fast switching with low reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and minimal temperature dependence of forward voltage. Its 70 µm thickness and AlSiCu front-side metallization support high-current wire bonding (≤500 µm Al) and low-inductance module assembly.
The die operates at junction temperatures up to +150 °C continuously (–40 to +175 °C range), with rated repetitive peak reverse voltage (VR) of 600 V and typical forward voltage (VF) of 1.6 V at 150 A. Dynamic ruggedness is design-verified under 300 A / 600 V stress conditions but not production-tested.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR | 600 V - Maximum blocking voltage in repetitive mode; defines use in 600 V-class power converters and inverters. |
| IF | 150 A - Continuous forward current rating at Tvj < 150 °C; sets minimum heatsink and thermal interface requirements. |
| VF @ 150 A | 1.2–1.9 V (typ. 1.6 V) - Forward conduction loss window; directly impacts conduction efficiency and thermal design margin. |
| Qrr | Low - Confirmed via EC3 process; reduces switching losses and EMI in hard-commutated IGBT modules. |
| Chip size | 4.9 × 7.8 mm² - Mechanical footprint for module substrate layout and die attach area planning. |
| Thickness | 70 µm - Enables high current density and low saturation voltage while maintaining mechanical robustness for sawn-on-foil handling. |
| Tvj range | –40 to +175 °C - Full operational junction temperature envelope; supports harsh industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Bare die (unencapsulated silicon chip), sawn on foil, with front-side AlSiCu metallization and Ni/Ag backside metallization. Not housed in leaded or surface-mount package.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode pad | Forward current entry terminal | 4.28 × 7.18 mm² AlSiCu area; designed for conductive epoxy or solder die attach and high-current Al wire bonding (≤500 µm). |
| Cathode side | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Backside Ni/Ag metallization; compatible with both epoxy and soft-solder die bonding in press-pack or soldered-module configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Emitter Controlled 3 (EC3) technology | Enables soft reverse recovery and low Qrr without snubbers, reducing system EMI and stress on co-packaged IGBTs. |
| 70 µm thin die | Optimizes trade-off between on-state voltage, thermal resistance, and mechanical yield during module assembly and pressure contact. |
| Photoimide passivation | Front-side protection against moisture and contamination during module processing and long-term operation. |
| Ni/Ag back metallization | Enables reliable die bonding using either soft solder (e.g., PbSn) or conductive epoxies in high-reliability power modules. |
| ESD-sensitive classification | Complies with MIL-STD-883; requires handling per electrostatic discharge control protocols during module manufacturing. |

FAQ
What is the recommended die attach method for SIDC38D60C8X1SA1?
Infineon specifies compatibility with both electrically conductive epoxy and soft-solder (e.g., PbSn) die attach. The Ni/Ag backside metallization ensures strong interfacial adhesion and low thermal resistance in either process. For high-power modules, solder attach is preferred to minimize long-term delamination risk under thermal cycling.
Does SIDC38D60C8X1SA1 require gate driving or external control signals?
No. SIDC38D60C8X1SA1 is a passive two-terminal power diode die with no gate or control terminals. It operates solely based on applied anode-cathode voltage polarity and magnitude, functioning as a unidirectional current conductor with soft reverse recovery characteristics.
Can SIDC38D60C8X1SA1 be used in parallel configurations within a single module?
Yes - its tight VF distribution (1.2–1.9 V at 150 A) and low temperature coefficient enable effective current sharing when multiple dies are mounted on a common substrate with matched thermal paths and symmetric bond wire layouts.
Is there a fully packaged version of this die available from Infineon?
No - SIDC38D60C8X1SA1 is exclusively offered as a bare die. Infineon does not provide a pre-packaged discrete part for this specific EC3 die; it is intended only for OEM integration into custom or standard power modules (e.g., SEMiX, PrimePACK, or customer-specific designs).
