Product details
Overview
SIGC18T60NCX1SA3 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 conversion modules. 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 IC = 20 A and VGE = 15 V.
For engineers reviewing the SIGC18T60NCX1SA3 datasheet, SIGC18T60NCX1SA3 pinout (emitter/gate/collector terminals), SIGC18T60NCX1SA3 application in motor drive modules, or SIGC18T60NCX1SA3 equivalent bare-die IGBTs, this page provides verified die-level specifications, thermal and switching behavior, mechanical layout, and module integration guidance.
Technical Context
This NPT-technology IGBT die delivers robust short-circuit withstand capability and low conduction loss due to its optimized emitter-collector doping profile and 100 µm wafer thinning. Its positive temperature coefficient of VCE(sat) enables inherent current sharing when paralleled in multi-chip modules.
Dynamic performance is characterized by td(off) = 110 ns and tf = 25 ns under standardized inductive load conditions (VCC = 300 V, IC = 20 A, Tj = 125 °C, RG = 13 Ω), with Ciss = 900 pF and Crss = 80 pF measured at VCE = 25 V, f = 1 MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE | 600 V - maximum blocking voltage rating; defines usable DC bus voltage in 400–450 V industrial inverters |
| IC | 20 A - continuous collector current at Tj = 150 °C; sets thermal design baseline for die attach and heatsink sizing |
| VCE(sat) | 2.0 V (typ.) - conduction loss at rated current; directly determines on-state power dissipation (Pcond ≈ 40 W) |
| td(off) | 110 ns - turn-off delay time; critical for dead-time setting and EMI control in PWM gate drivers |
| Ciss | 900 pF - input capacitance; impacts gate driver power requirement and switching speed trade-offs |
| Tj range | −55 to +150 °C - operating junction temperature window; supports high-ambient industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: Bare die (unmounted silicon chip), sawn on foil, 4.3 × 4.3 mm² active area, 100 µm thickness, photoimide passivation, Al–Si 1% emitter metallization, Ni–Ag collector metallization. Not housed in leaded or surface-mount package.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Emitter pad (2.48 × 2.98 mm²) | Low-side current return path | Primary current sink terminal; requires low-inductance bond wire or solder interconnect to minimize VCE overshoot during turn-off |
| Gate pad (0.7 × 1.08 mm²) | Control electrode | High-impedance input requiring < ±20 V drive; sensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-883 compliant) |
| Collector metallization (full backside) | High-side power input | Backside-connected collector; must be bonded to electrically conductive substrate (e.g., DBC ceramic) for thermal and electrical path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NPT technology | Enables soft, controllable turn-off with predictable tail current-reducing voltage overshoot in hard-switched topologies |
| Positive VCE(sat) tempco | Ensures natural current balancing across paralleled dies without external current-sharing resistors or active sensing |
| 100 µm thin wafer | Improves thermal resistance (RthJC) and reduces stored charge-enhancing short-circuit ruggedness and switching efficiency |
| Al–Si 1% emitter / Ni–Ag collector | Supports reliable epoxy and soft-solder die bonding; compatible with standard power module assembly processes |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Three-phase inverter stage in 5–10 kW variable-frequency drives for HVAC and pump systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side and low-side switching element in IGBT half-bridge modules; operates at 2–16 kHz PWM frequency. Use Value: Low VCE(sat) and stable dynamic parameters reduce conduction and switching losses, enabling >97% system efficiency at full load. | Use Scenario: Inverter output stage in online double-conversion UPS systems delivering clean sine-wave AC output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Core switching device in H-bridge topology; handles bidirectional energy flow during battery backup mode. Use Value: Robust short-circuit withstand time (>10 µs) ensures safe shutdown during output faults without catastrophic failure. |
| Solar Photovoltaic Inverters | Induction Heating Systems |
Use Scenario: DC–AC stage in string inverters converting PV array output to grid-synchronized 230/400 V AC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Switching element in NPC or T-type multilevel topologies; subjected to high dv/dt and repetitive surge currents. Use Value: Low Crss (80 pF) minimizes Miller-induced false turn-on risk, improving reliability under fast-rising bus transients. | Use Scenario: Resonant inverter bridge in medium-frequency (20–50 kHz) induction cooktops and industrial heating units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hard-switched power switch in series-resonant LC tank; experiences high peak current and zero-voltage switching transitions. Use Value: Precise td(on)/tr and td(off)/tf timing enables accurate dead-time calibration-preventing shoot-through while minimizing distortion. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT die applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IKW20N60T | 600 V, 20 A trench-gate field-stop IGBT die; lower VCE(sat) (1.6 V typ.), higher Ciss (1200 pF) | Better conduction efficiency but more sensitive to gate oscillation; requires tighter gate loop layout | Preferred where conduction loss dominates; verify gate driver strength and PCB layout for stability |
| FGH20N60UFD | 600 V, 20 A ultrafast IGBT die; tf = 15 ns (vs. 25 ns), VCE(sat) = 2.2 V (typ.) | Faster switching enables higher PWM frequencies but increases EMI filtering burden | Optimal for compact, high-frequency designs where thermal margin allows higher VCE(sat) |
Compared with IKW20N60T and FGH20N60UFD, SIGC18T60NCX1SA3 offers balanced trade-offs: moderate switching speed, proven NPT ruggedness, and superior parallel stability-making it ideal for cost-sensitive, high-reliability industrial modules where layout simplicity and thermal robustness are prioritized.

FAQ
Is SIGC18T60NCX1SA3 supplied in tape-and-reel or waffle pack?
No. SIGC18T60NCX1SA3 is delivered as bare die on foil, not in carrier packaging. It requires manual or automated die placement equipment for module assembly. The die is marked with a ∅0.65 mm ink dot for orientation and traceability, and must be handled in dry nitrogen environment per Infineon's storage guidelines.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for this die?
Infineon specifies RG = 13 Ω for characterization (td(off), tf). For actual module use, RG selection depends on switching speed requirements, EMI limits, and gate driver capability. Typical range is 10–22 Ω; lower values increase dV/dt and EMI but improve switching speed, while higher values reduce stress on gate driver and suppress oscillation.
Can SIGC18T60NCX1SA3 be used in 650 V DC-link applications?
No. Its absolute maximum VCE rating is 600 V. Operating above this voltage violates the device's safe operating area and risks premature breakdown. For 650 V bus systems, select devices rated ≥650 V (e.g., 650 V FS4 or TRENCHSTOP™ IGBTs), with appropriate derating for voltage transients and temperature effects.
Does this die include integrated anti-parallel diode functionality?
No. SIGC18T60NCX1SA3 is an IGBT die only, with no monolithically integrated freewheeling diode. External fast-recovery or SiC Schottky diodes must be co-packaged in the module to provide reverse-current path for inductive loads. Die bonding layout must accommodate separate diode placement and thermal coupling.
