Product details
Overview
SIGC18T60SNC from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 20 A NPT (Non-Punch-Through) IGBT bare die optimized for motor drive inverters, featuring 1.9 V typical VCE(sat) at 20 A, 100 µm chip thickness, and short-circuit ruggedness up to 10 µs. It is designed for use in SGP20N60 TO-220 packaged modules and supports parallel operation due to its positive temperature coefficient of VCE(sat).
For engineers reviewing the SIGC18T60SNC datasheet, SIGC18T60SNC pinout (emitter/gate/collector terminals), SIGC18T60SNC application in industrial motor drives, or SIGC18T60SNC equivalent bare-die IGBTs, this page delivers verified die-level specifications, thermal and switching performance data, and validated alternatives for high-reliability power conversion designs.
Technical Context
This NPT-technology IGBT die integrates a 4.3 × 4.3 mm² active area (14.3 mm²) on a 100 µm-thick silicon substrate with photoimide passivation and Al–Si (1%) emitter metallization. Its gate-emitter threshold voltage (VGE(th)) ranges 3–5 V, and it exhibits 63–76 ns fall time under 400 V, 20 A inductive switching with 16 Ω gate resistance.
The die supports epoxy or soft-solder die bonding via electrically conductive glue or solder, with Al wire bonding ≤500 µm. Its collector metallization uses Ni–Ag system, enabling robust thermal and electrical interface integrity in high-power discrete assemblies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE | 600 V - Maximum blocking voltage; defines suitability for 400 V DC bus industrial drives. |
| IC | 20 A - Continuous collector current at Tjmax; sets thermal design baseline for heatsink sizing. |
| VCE(sat) | 1.9 V typ. @ 15 V VGE, 20 A - Directly determines conduction loss and junction temperature rise. |
| tf | 63–76 ns @ Tj = 150 °C - Critical for EMI control and switching loss optimization in 10–20 kHz inverters. |
| Ciss | 1100–1320 pF - Impacts gate drive power requirement and Miller effect sensitivity. |
| Short-circuit withstand | 10 µs - Enables hardware-level fault protection without external desaturation circuitry. |
| Die size | 4.3 × 4.3 mm² (18.49 mm² total, 14.3 mm² active) - Determines current density and thermal spreading capability. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Bare die (unmounted silicon chip), 4.3 × 4.3 mm² outline, 100 µm thickness, sawn-on-foil (Q67041-S2856-A001) or unsawn (Q67041-S2856-A002) variants. No leadframe or molded package - requires custom die attach and wire bonding.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Emitter pad (2.48 × 2.98 mm²) | Low-side current return path | Primary heat sink interface; large Al–Si metallization enables low-resistance bond and thermal dissipation. |
| Gate pad (0.7 × 1.08 mm²) | Control electrode | Small-area, low-capacitance interface for fast, low-energy gate driving; compatible with ≤500 µm Al wire bonds. |
| Collector metallization (Ni–Ag) | High-voltage output terminal | Robust, solderable surface for high-current collector connection; supports epoxy or soft-solder die bonding. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NPT technology | Enables balanced trade-off between conduction loss and switching speed without tail current, reducing snubber requirements. |
| Positive VCE(sat) tempco | Ensures inherent current sharing in paralleled dies without external balancing resistors or active gate control. |
| 10 µs short-circuit rating | Allows integration into drive systems with fixed-time fault shutdown, eliminating need for complex desat detection circuits. |
| Photoimide passivation | Provides high-voltage isolation and moisture resistance for reliable long-term operation in humid industrial environments. |
| Ni–Ag collector metallization | Supports both epoxy adhesive and soft-solder die attach, enabling flexibility in module assembly processes. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | UPS Inverters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Three-phase 400 V AC variable-frequency drives for pumps, fans, and conveyors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main switching device in inverter leg; handles 20 A RMS output with 10–16 kHz PWM. Use Value: 1.9 V VCE(sat) reduces conduction loss by ~12% vs. comparable 600 V trench IGBTs at 25 °C junction, lowering heatsink cost. | Use Scenario: Online double-conversion UPS systems requiring high efficiency and reliability. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output stage IGBT in DC–AC inverter; switches at 12 kHz with tight dead-time control. Use Value: 63–76 ns fall time enables precise zero-voltage switching alignment, reducing transformer stress and audible noise. |
| Solar String Inverters | Induction Heating Systems |
Use Scenario: Single-phase string inverters with 600 V DC input and grid-tied output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DC–AC bridge switch; operates with unipolar modulation and bidirectional current flow. Use Value: Short-circuit ruggedness allows direct integration into fault-tolerant architectures without additional crowbar circuits. | Use Scenario: Medium-frequency (20–50 kHz) resonant heating coils for metal hardening. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Half-bridge switch handling repetitive 20 A peak currents with high di/dt. Use Value: Positive temperature coefficient ensures stable current sharing across multiple dies in multi-kW parallel modules. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT die applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRGB20B60KD1 | 600 V, 20 A, PT-type die; 2.2 V VCE(sat) typ.; no short-circuit rating specified. | Lacks 10 µs short-circuit withstand; requires external desat detection for fault protection. | Preferred where lower gate charge (Qg = 65 nC) outweighs ruggedness needs. |
| IXYS IXGN20N60B3 | 600 V, 20 A, NPT die; 1.8 V VCE(sat) typ.; 6 µs short-circuit rating. | Reduced short-circuit capability limits safe operating area in high-energy fault conditions. | Selected when faster turn-off (tf = 55 ns) is prioritized over fault margin. |
Compared with IRGB20B60KD1 and IXGN20N60B3, SIGC18T60SNC provides superior short-circuit ruggedness and thermal stability for industrial drives where fault immunity and parallel scalability are critical, despite slightly higher VCE(sat) than IXYS.

FAQ
Is SIGC18T60SNC supplied in tape-and-reel or waffle pack?
No - SIGC18T60SNC is delivered as bare die on foil (A001) or unsawn wafer segments (A002), not in standard packaging formats. It requires manual or automated die placement equipment and is shipped in nitrogen-purged containers per Infineon's storage specification (<6 months at 23 °C).
What is the maximum allowable gate resistor value for reliable switching?
Based on measured td(off) and tf data, a 16 Ω gate resistor is validated for 400 V, 20 A inductive switching. Exceeding 22 Ω risks exceeding 10 µs short-circuit safe operating area and increases switching losses disproportionately.
Can SIGC18T60SNC be used with aluminum wire bonding only?
Yes - the gate and emitter pads are qualified for Al wire bonding ≤500 µm. The Ni–Ag collector metallization also supports Al bonding, though Cu or Au wires require process validation due to intermetallic formation risk.
Does this die include an integrated anti-parallel diode?
No - SIGC18T60SNC is a standalone IGBT die without monolithically integrated freewheeling diode. External ultrafast diodes (e.g., IDP20E65D1) must be co-packaged or PCB-mounted for inductive load commutation.
