Product details
Overview
SIGC18T60NCX1SA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 20 A NPT (Non-Punch-Through) IGBT die in bare-die format, designed for high-voltage switching in industrial motor drives and power converters. It features a 4.3 × 4.3 mm² silicon die with 100 µm thickness, positive temperature coefficient for stable parallel operation, and VCE(sat) = 2.0 V (typ.) at 20 A/15 VGE.
For engineers reviewing the SIGC18T60NCX1SA1 datasheet, SIGC18T60NCX1SA1 pinout (emitter/gate/collector terminals), SIGC18T60NCX1SA1 application in motor drive modules, or SIGC18T60NCX1SA1 equivalent bare-die IGBTs, this page delivers verified die-level specifications, thermal and switching behavior, mechanical layout, and module integration guidance.
Technical Context
This NPT-technology IGBT die operates with a gate-emitter threshold voltage of 5.5 V (typ.), enabling robust turn-on control under noisy industrial conditions. Its 1.7–2.5 V VCE(sat) range at 20 A ensures low conduction loss while maintaining safe SOA margins up to Tj = 150 °C.
Dynamic performance is characterized by td(off) = 110 ns and tf = 25 ns (Tj = 125 °C, RG = 13 Ω), optimized for hard-switched 300 V DC-link inverters. Input capacitance Ciss = 900 pF supports predictable gate drive sizing without requiring external Miller clamping.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE | 600 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 400 V AC input rectified systems and 300 V DC-link inverters. |
| IC | 20 A - Continuous collector current rating at Tj = 150 °C, defining thermal design baseline for module baseplate sizing. |
| VCE(sat) | 2.0 V (typ.) - Low saturation voltage reduces conduction loss in 10–20 kHz motor drive switching applications. |
| VGE(th) | 5.5 V (typ.) - Sufficient gate threshold margin above noise floor, enabling reliable turn-on with ±15 V gate drive. |
| td(off) | 110 ns - Off-delay time determines minimum dead-time setting in three-phase inverter gate drivers. |
| Ciss | 900 pF - Input capacitance value used to calculate required gate charge (Qg ≈ Ciss × VGE) for driver IC selection. |
| Tj Range | −55 to +150 °C - Extended junction temperature capability supports compact heatsink designs in sealed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Bare die (no leadframe or molded package); 4.3 × 4.3 mm² silicon chip, 100 µm thick, sawn on foil carrier. Suitable for epoxy or soft-solder die bonding onto DBC substrates in discrete or module assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Emitter Pad (2.48 × 2.98 mm²) | Low-side current return path | Large-area AlSi1% metallization enables low-inductance emitter bonding and thermal spreading in multi-die modules. |
| Gate Pad (0.7 × 1.08 mm²) | Control terminal for channel inversion | Small, defined pad area minimizes gate loop inductance and supports precise wire-bonding with ≤500 µm Al wire. |
| Collector Backside | High-voltage power output node | NiAg metallization provides solder-wettable surface for direct attachment to copper baseplate or DBC collector layer. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Positive temperature coefficient | Enables inherent current sharing in paralleled dies without external current-balancing resistors. |
| NPT technology | Provides soft switching behavior and rugged short-circuit withstand time (>5 µs at 15 VGE). |
| Photoimide passivation | Frontside insulation withstands >1 kV/mm electric field, critical for high-density module layouts. |
| 150 mm wafer process | Ensures consistent parametric spread across production lots, supporting statistical BOM yield planning. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Three-phase 7.5 kW inverter driving induction motor in HVAC compressors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main switching element in 2-level inverter leg; operates at 8–16 kHz PWM frequency with 110 ns off-delay timing constraint. Use Value: 2.0 V VCE(sat) reduces conduction loss by ~12% vs. comparable 650 V trench IGBTs, lowering heatsink requirements. | Use Scenario: Online double-conversion UPS with 400 V DC-link and battery backup interface. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverter-stage switch handling bidirectional energy flow during transfer and regeneration modes. Use Value: Positive tempco allows parallel configuration of two SIGC18T60NCX1SA1 dies per leg, increasing system power density without active current sensing. |
| Solar String Inverters | Welding Power Supplies |
Use Scenario: 5 kW string inverter DC-AC stage with transformerless topology. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side and low-side switch in H-bridge output stage; requires 600 V blocking and <25 ns fall time for EMI control. Use Value: 25 ns tf at 125 °C enables <100 ns total switching transition, meeting CISPR-11 Class B conducted EMI limits. | Use Scenario: IGBT-based inverter for 200 A DC welding output with forced-air cooling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary switching device in resonant DC-DC stage feeding inverter output; operates with 50–100 µs pulse bursts. Use Value: 150 °C max Tj rating supports peak-current overloads up to 60 A without derating, matching arc ignition demands. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT die applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS IXGN20N60B3 | 600 V, 20 A, PT-type die; VCE(sat) = 2.2 V (typ.); Ciss = 1100 pF | Higher conduction loss and larger input capacitance require stronger gate driver and increase switching loss. | Select when legacy PT-process compatibility or existing gate driver design favors higher VGE(th) (6.0 V typ.) margin. |
| STMicroelectronics STGP20NC60KD | 600 V, 20 A, Trench-Field-Stop die; VCE(sat) = 1.8 V (typ.); td(off) = 85 ns | Faster switching but lower short-circuit ruggedness (3 µs) and negative tempco complicates paralleling. | Select for higher efficiency in low-thermal-mass applications where gate drive strength and SOA margin are less constrained. |
Compared with IXGN20N60B3 and STGP20NC60KD, SIGC18T60NCX1SA1 offers superior thermal stability for paralleling and balanced trade-offs between conduction loss, switching speed, and ruggedness-making it optimal for industrial inverters requiring long-term reliability under variable load.

FAQ
Is SIGC18T60NCX1SA1 supplied in tape-and-reel or waffle-pack packaging?
No. SIGC18T60NCX1SA1 is delivered as bare die on foil carrier (Q67050-A4139-A001), not in tape-and-reel or waffle-pack. It requires die-attach and wire-bonding during module assembly. Storage must be in dry nitrogen at <23 °C for ≤6 months per Infineon specification.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for standard 15 V gate drive?
Infineon specifies RG = 13 Ω for switching characterization (td(off), tf). For practical use, 10–15 Ω is recommended to balance switching speed and gate oscillation damping. Lower values (<8 Ω) increase dV/dt stress; higher values (>22 Ω) extend td(off) beyond 150 ns, risking shoot-through in bridge configurations.
Does SIGC18T60NCX1SA1 support short-circuit operation, and for how long?
Yes. As an NPT IGBT, SIGC18T60NCX1SA1 has demonstrated short-circuit withstand time >5 µs at VCE = 300 V, Tj = 125 °C, and VGE = 15 V. This enables basic desaturation protection in industrial inverters without requiring ultra-fast fault detection circuitry.
Can this die be bonded using conductive epoxy instead of solder?
Yes. The NiAg collector metallization and AlSi1% emitter pad are qualified for both soft-solder (SnAgCu) and electrically conductive epoxy die bonding. Conductive epoxy is acceptable for lower-power modules (<5 kW) where thermal cycling stress is moderate and peak Tj remains below 130 °C.
