Product details
Overview
SIGC18T60NCX1SA4 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 Al–Si 1% emitter metallization. Used in modules such as FS20R06XL4, it delivers VCE(sat) = 2.0 V (typ.) at IC = 20 A and Tj = 25 °C.
For engineers reviewing the SIGC18T60NCX1SA4 datasheet, SIGC18T60NCX1SA4 pinout (emitter/gate/collector terminals), SIGC18T60NCX1SA4 application in motor drive modules, or SIGC18T60NCX1SA4 equivalent bare-die IGBTs, this page provides verified die-level specifications, thermal and switching behavior, mechanical layout, and module integration context - critical for die attach, wire bonding, and thermal interface design.
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 gate-drive conditions. Its 900 pF input capacitance (Ciss) and 80 pF reverse transfer capacitance (Crss) at VCE = 25 V define dynamic gate drive requirements and EMI behavior during hard-switching.
Switching performance is characterized by td(on) = 21 ns, tr = 8 ns, td(off) = 110 ns, and tf = 25 ns under standardized inductive-load test conditions (VCC = 300 V, IC = 20 A, Tj = 125 °C, RG = 13 Ω), reflecting fast but controllable transition times suitable for 10–20 kHz industrial inverters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE | 600 V - Maximum blocking voltage defines suitability for 400 V AC input rectified bus applications. |
| IC | 20 A - Continuous collector current rating at Tj = 125 °C, used to size heatsink and thermal interface. |
| VCE(sat) | 2.0 V (typ.) - Conduction loss contributor; determines power dissipation at rated current. |
| VGE(th) | 5.5 V (typ.) - Gate threshold ensures noise immunity and predictable turn-on margin above 4.5 V. |
| Ciss | 900 pF - Input capacitance sets gate driver current demand and influences Miller effect during switching. |
| td(off) | 110 ns - Dominant delay in turn-off phase; impacts dead-time setting and short-circuit ruggedness. |
| Tj range | −55 to +150 °C - Extended junction temperature capability supports high-power density module designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT die applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IKB15N60T | 600 V, 15 A TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT die; lower IC, higher VCE(sat) (2.2 V typ.), thinner die (70 µm) | Optimized for higher switching frequency (>30 kHz); less suited for high-current parallel configurations | Select when prioritizing switching speed over conduction loss in compact, air-cooled inverters. |
| FGH30N60LSD | 600 V, 30 A Field Stop IGBT die; higher IC, lower VCE(sat) (1.8 V typ.), larger die (5.2 × 5.2 mm²) | Designed for higher power density modules; requires larger footprint and enhanced thermal management | Select when scaling to >15 kW output with single-die per switch position and improved thermal derating margin. |
Compared with IKB15N60T and FGH30N60LSD, SIGC18T60NCX1SA4 offers balanced conduction-switching trade-off and proven NPT ruggedness for 20 A industrial modules-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained 5–10 kW drive platforms requiring stable parallel operation.

FAQ
Is SIGC18T60NCX1SA4 supplied in tape-and-reel or waffle pack?
No. SIGC18T60NCX1SA4 is delivered as bare die on foil, not in tape-and-reel or waffle pack formats. It is intended for automated die placement in module assembly lines and requires cleanroom handling per Infineon's ESD-sensitive device guidelines (MIL-STD-883 compliant).
What is the recommended die-attach material for SIGC18T60NCX1SA4?
Infineon specifies electrically conductive adhesive or soft solder (e.g., SnAgCu or PbSn) for collector-side die bonding. The Ni–Ag backside metallization is qualified for both methods; thermal interface resistance and long-term reliability are optimized using 25–50 µm bond line thickness and controlled reflow profiles.
Does SIGC18T60NCX1SA4 include integrated anti-parallel diode functionality?
No. SIGC18T60NCX1SA4 is an IGBT die only, without monolithically integrated freewheeling diode. Module designers must pair it with discrete ultrafast recovery diodes (e.g., IDP20E65D1) or use co-packaged diode dies in the same module substrate.
Can SIGC18T60NCX1SA4 be used in 650 V DC-link applications?
No. Its absolute maximum VCE rating is 600 V with no safety margin specified for 650 V DC-link operation. For 650 V systems, Infineon recommends 650 V-rated dies such as IKW20N65ES5 or FGHL40T65SQD, which guarantee 50 V headroom under transient overvoltage conditions.
