Product details
Overview
SIGC42T60NCX1SA4 from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 50 A NPT (Non-Punch-Through) IGBT bare die optimized for high-reliability industrial drive inverters. It features a 100 µm chip thickness, positive temperature coefficient for stable parallel operation, and 6.5 × 6.5 mm² active die area with dual emitter pads. Used in motor control modules requiring robust short-circuit ruggedness and low conduction loss at 15 V gate drive.
For engineers reviewing the SIGC42T60NCX1SA4 datasheet, SIGC42T60NCX1SA4 pinout (emitter/gate/collector terminals), SIGC42T60NCX1SA4 application in AC drives, or SIGC42T60NCX1SA4 equivalent bare-die IGBTs, this page delivers verified die-level specifications, thermal and switching behavior under 125°C junction conditions, and validated alternatives for module integration.
Technical Context
This NPT-technology IGBT die operates with a gate-emitter threshold voltage of 4.5–6.5 V and exhibits a collector-emitter saturation voltage of 1.7–2.5 V at 50 A and 15 V gate drive. Its 2200 pF input capacitance and 200 pF reverse transfer capacitance support predictable turn-on/turn-off timing in hard-switched topologies.
Designed for epoxy or soft-solder die bonding, it uses Al–1%Si emitter metallization (3200 nm) and Ni–Ag collector metallization (1400 nm), enabling reliable thermal cycling performance in power modules. The 90° flat orientation and photoimide passivation ensure compatibility with standard wire-bonding processes using ≤500 µm Al wire.

Pinout & Package
SIGC42T60NCX1SA4 is supplied as a bare die in sawn-on-foil format (Q67041-A4692-A001), with no leadframe or molded package. Terminal identification follows standard IGBT die orientation: top-side metallization defines gate (0.8 × 1.5 mm²), emitter (dual 3.0 × 2.85 mm² pads), and collector (full backside metallization).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Emitter Pads (2) | Power return path for collector current | Dual pads reduce bond wire inductance and current crowding; enable symmetric current distribution in multi-chip modules |
| Gate Pad | Control electrode for channel formation | Small-area pad (0.8 × 1.5 mm²) requires precise wire bonding; compatible with 25–50 µm Al wire |
| Collector (Backside) | Main high-side current path and thermal interface | Full-surface Ni–Ag metallization ensures low-resistance solder or sinter bond to DBC substrate and efficient heat extraction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Positive temperature coefficient | Enables inherent current sharing in paralleled dies without external ballasting resistors |
| NPT device architecture | Provides balanced trade-off between switching speed and short-circuit withstand time (≥10 µs) |
| 100 µm thin wafer processing | Reduces stored charge and tail current, lowering turn-off losses vs. PT/FS IGBTs |
| Photoimide frontside passivation | Withstands >1000 V/µm electric field; prevents surface leakage and humidity-induced degradation |
| ESD-sensitive handling (MIL-STD-883) | Requires grounded workstations and ionized air during assembly to prevent gate oxide damage |
Applications
| Industrial AC Drives | Pump & Compressor Inverters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Variable-speed control of 3-phase induction motors in HVAC and factory automation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main switching element in 2-level inverter leg; handles 50–150 A RMS output with 8–12 kHz PWM. Use Value: Low VCE(sat) minimizes conduction loss at partial load; positive tempco ensures stable current sharing across parallel dies. | Use Scenario: High-efficiency speed regulation in centrifugal pumps and screw compressors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch in three-phase bridge; subjected to repetitive 600 V blocking and 50 A peak current. Use Value: 130 ns turn-off delay enables clean commutation at 10 kHz; 150 A pulsed rating supports startup surge currents. |
| Welding Power Supplies | Railway Traction Converters |
Use Scenario: DC-link chopper and inverter stages in IGBT-based inverter welders. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-switching power stage managing 300–600 V DC bus with high di/dt demands. Use Value: 30 ns fall time reduces switching loss during high-frequency arc stabilization; 200 pF Crss limits Miller-induced false turn-on. | Use Scenario: Auxiliary converter modules supplying onboard control power in locomotive traction systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Medium-power DC–DC stage operating at −40 to +85 °C ambient with vibration exposure. Use Value: −55 to +150 °C Tj range accommodates wide thermal cycling; Ni–Ag collector metallization resists thermal fatigue in sintered bonds. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT die applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| FF400R06ME3 | Module-integrated version (600 V/400 A); includes anti-parallel diode and press-fit housing | Pre-assembled solution for PCB-mount inverters; eliminates die bonding and wire bonding steps | Select when system-level integration, reliability validation, and reduced assembly risk outweigh bare-die cost savings |
| IKW40N60H3 | 600 V/40 A TRENCHSTOP™ H3 die; 1.6 V VCE(sat), 100 ns td(off), thinner 70 µm wafer | Better efficiency at light loads; lower gate charge but reduced short-circuit ruggedness (6 µs) | Select for higher-frequency (16–25 kHz), lower-power (<30 kW) drives where switching loss dominates conduction loss |
Compared with FF400R06ME3 and IKW40N60H3, SIGC42T60NCX1SA4 offers superior short-circuit ruggedness and proven thermal stability in multi-die parallel configurations-critical for high-power industrial drives where field reliability and long-term module lifetime are prioritized over marginal efficiency gains.

FAQ
Is SIGC42T60NCX1SA4 supplied with solder preform or die attach material?
No. This is a bare die product with Ni–Ag collector metallization and Al–Si emitter metallization, intended for customer-defined die bonding using epoxy, soft solder (e.g., SnAgCu), or sintering pastes. No pre-applied materials are included.
What is the maximum recommended wire bond diameter for the gate pad?
The gate pad (0.8 × 1.5 mm²) is qualified for aluminum wire bonding up to 50 µm diameter. Larger wires risk pad lift or cratering; 25–38 µm is typical for high-yield assembly with controlled ultrasonic energy and force.
Does SIGC42T60NCX1SA4 include an integrated freewheeling diode?
No. SIGC42T60NCX1SA4 is a single NPT IGBT die without any integrated diode. External anti-parallel diodes-such as IDP40E60 or MUR1560-are required for inductive load commutation in inverter applications.
Can this die be used in SiC hybrid modules?
No. SIGC42T60NCX1SA4 is a silicon-based NPT IGBT die with gate threshold and switching characteristics incompatible with SiC gate drivers. It is designed exclusively for silicon module platforms using ±15 V gate drive and standard 3.3 Ω gate resistors.
