Product details
Overview
SIGC18T60NCX1SA5 from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 20 A NPT (Non-Punch-Through) IGBT bare die optimized for high-reliability industrial motor drives. 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. Used in compact IGBT modules for variable-frequency drives.
For engineers reviewing the SIGC18T60NCX1SA5 datasheet, SIGC18T60NCX1SA5 pinout (emitter/gate/collector terminals), SIGC18T60NCX1SA5 application in motor drive modules, or SIGC18T60NCX1SA5 equivalent bare-die IGBTs, this page delivers verified die-level specifications, thermal and switching behavior, mechanical layout, and module integration guidance - all grounded in Infineon's official chip data sheet L7242-M Edition 2.
Technical Context
This NPT-technology IGBT die operates with a gate-emitter threshold voltage of 5.5 V (typ.), exhibits low dynamic losses via Ciss = 900 pF and Crss = 80 pF (f = 1 MHz), and supports fast switching with td(off) = 110 ns and tf = 25 ns under rated inductive load conditions (VCC = 300 V, IC = 20 A, Tj = 125 °C).
The die integrates Al–Si (1%) emitter metallization (3200 nm), Ni–Ag collector metallization (1400 nm), and photoimide frontside passivation - enabling compatibility with epoxy and soft-solder die bonding. Its 270° flat position and ∅0.65 mm ink dot support automated die placement and traceability in module assembly.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE | 600 V - Maximum blocking voltage defines use in 400 V AC input motor drives with 2× DC bus margin. |
| IC (DC) | 20 A - Rated continuous collector current at Tjmax, sets thermal design baseline for module heatsink sizing. |
| VCE(sat) | 2.0 V (typ.) - Low saturation voltage reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency at full-load operation. |
| VGE(th) | 5.5 V (typ.) - Threshold voltage ensures robust noise immunity and predictable turn-on behavior in noisy drive environments. |
| td(off) | 110 ns - Turn-off delay time directly impacts switching loss and maximum PWM frequency capability in inverter stages. |
| Tj range | −55 to +150 °C - Wide junction temperature range enables operation in harsh industrial enclosures without derating. |
| Ciss | 900 pF - Input capacitance determines gate drive power requirement and influences Miller effect susceptibility. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Bare die (unmounted silicon chip), 4.3 × 4.3 mm² outline, 100 µm thickness, sawn on foil, Q67050-A4139-A001 footprint. 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 | Large-area Al–Si metallization supports 20 A DC current and minimizes bond-wire count in module assembly. |

| Collector metallization (Ni–Ag) | High-voltage power output node | Thick Ni–Ag layer provides low-resistance, solder-compatible interface for direct attachment to DBC substrate or copper baseplate. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Positive temperature coefficient | Enables inherently stable current sharing when paralleling multiple dies in high-power modules without external balancing resistors. |
| NPT technology | Provides balanced trade-off between switching speed and ruggedness, supporting short-circuit withstand time >10 µs at 125 °C. |
| Photoimide passivation | Ensures high dielectric strength (>1000 V/µm) and moisture resistance during encapsulation and long-term module operation. |
| 150 mm wafer process | Supports high-yield production with up to 796 functional dies per wafer, contributing to cost-effective module manufacturing. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Pump & Compressor Inverters |

Use Value: NPT structure and 150 °C max Tj rating enable sustained operation under high ambient temperatures without forced cooling. |
| Elevator Control Systems | Conveyor Drive Modules |
Use Scenario: Regenerative braking unit in multi-floor elevator hoist drives with frequent start-stop cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional energy transfer switch in active front-end rectifier, conducting reverse current during regeneration. Use Value: Positive temperature coefficient ensures uniform current distribution across paralleled dies during high-current regen pulses. | Use Scenario: Modular conveyor drive rated for continuous 15 kW output in factory automation lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-inductance, bonded-die IGBT in press-pack or solder-bonded module, optimized for <100 ns switching transitions. Use Value: 900 pF Ciss and 80 pF Crss minimize gate drive losses and reduce EMI generation in densely packed control cabinets. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT bare-die applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| FS20R06XL4 | Same die (SIGC18T60NC) packaged in 62 mm module with integrated freewheeling diode and standardized footprint. | Pre-assembled module form factor eliminates die attach and wire bonding steps; suited for rapid prototyping and low-volume builds. | Select FS20R06XL4 when module-level validation, UL certification, or reduced assembly risk outweigh bare-die cost savings. |
| IKB15N60T | 600 V, 15 A TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT die with lower VCE(sat) (1.6 V typ.) but smaller die size (3.2 × 3.2 mm²) and no published Crss data. | Better conduction efficiency at partial load; limited short-circuit ruggedness (6 µs) vs. SIGC18T60NC's NPT-rated 10+ µs. | Choose IKB15N60T only for space-constrained, low-short-circuit-risk applications where peak current remains <15 A. |
Compared with FS20R06XL4, SIGC18T60NCX1SA5 offers full control over thermal interface and layout but requires qualified die-bonding infrastructure; versus IKB15N60T, it trades slightly higher conduction loss for superior ruggedness and proven parallel stability in high-power industrial inverters.

FAQ
Is SIGC18T60NCX1SA5 a packaged component or bare die?
SIGC18T60NCX1SA5 is a bare silicon die - unmounted, unencapsulated, and supplied on foil. It has no leads, molding compound, or integrated diode. Users must perform die attach (conductive epoxy or solder), wire bonding (Al ≤500 µm), and encapsulation within a custom or standard module housing.
What is the recommended die bonding method for SIGC18T60NCX1SA5?
Infineon specifies electrically conductive glue or soft solder for die bonding. The Ni–Ag collector metallization is compatible with both Sn–Ag–Cu solder and silver-filled epoxies. Thermal interface material selection must ensure ≤0.5 °C/W junction-to-baseplate resistance for 20 A operation at 150 °C Tj.
Does SIGC18T60NCX1SA5 include an integrated freewheeling diode?
No. SIGC18T60NCX1SA5 is a single NPT IGBT die without any integrated diode. External freewheeling diodes - either discrete or co-packaged in module designs - must be used in inductive load applications to provide current recirculation paths during turn-off.
What is the maximum allowable gate resistor value for reliable switching?
With RG = 13 Ω specified in the switching test condition, increasing RG beyond 22 Ω significantly extends td(off) and tf, raising switching losses. For 4 kHz PWM operation, RG should remain between 10 Ω and 18 Ω to balance loss, EMI, and short-circuit robustness per Infineon's application note AN2002-05.
