Physics-of-failure lifetime prediction models for wire bond interconnects in power electronic modules

This paper presents a review of the commonly adopted physics-of-failure-based life prediction models for wire bond interconnects in power electronic modules. In the discussed models, lifetime is generally accounted for by loading temperature extremes alone. The influence of the time spent at temper...
