As a leading global manufacturer of power modules, Starpower (Jiaxing Starpower Semiconductor Co., Ltd.) leverages its advanced IGBT module technology to provide efficient and reliable core solutions for a wide range of high-power applications.
I. Overview of Starpower
Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Jiaxing, Zhejiang, Starpower Semiconductor Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the R&D, design, and manufacturing of power semiconductor modules. The company is listed on the Main Board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The company designs and manufactures IGBT, SiC, MOSFET, IPM, FRD modules, and customized modules. Its products cover a power range from 0.5 kW to over 1 MW and are widely used in EV/HEV, solar/wind power generation, inverters, welding machines, UPS, and home appliances. The company’s production facilities are equipped with fully automated production and testing lines and have obtained ISO 9001, ISO 14001 quality management system certifications, as well as IATF 16949 automotive industry quality management system certification.
Core Product Series
Starpower offers a comprehensive IGBT module product line covering a wide range of voltage ratings, current specifications, and topologies to meet the needs of various application scenarios.
C6.1 Series IGBT Modules
The C6.1 series is Starpower’s widely adopted IGBT module product line, utilizing advanced third-generation micro-trench technology to deliver higher power density and industry-leading power cycling capability. This series supports multiple voltage ratings—600V, 650V, 1200V, and 1700V—with current ranges spanning 100A to 900A. It offers various packaging and topology options and accommodates a wide range of customization solutions. The modules feature a symmetrical design, allowing the IGBT half-bridge to fully leverage the exceptional performance of each chip when used in parallel, thereby enabling more efficient inverter designs.
Gen3 Series IGBT Modules (Half-Bridge and Three-Phase Bridge)
Starpower’s newly launched Gen3 series modules, covering both half-bridge and three-phase bridge topologies, are suitable for power drive systems such as electric traction inverters, with power ratings starting at 250 kW. Based on third-generation trench IGBT technology and second-generation SiC MOSFETs, the Gen3 series achieves ultra-low conduction losses, with RDS(on) as low as 1.3 mΩ at the module level.
N5 Series IGBT Modules
The N5 series is a 750V IGBT module designed for high-power-density automotive applications, offering three current ratings: 660A, 820A, and 1000A. The module features a half-bridge circuit structure and a multi-chip parallel design, delivering higher energy transfer efficiency. In terms of packaging design, the N5 module employs a low-inductance, high-efficiency thermal solution, with power circuit stray inductance below 6.5 nH, and utilizes an epoxy molding process along with a pin-fin water-cooled heat sink. Internally, the modules utilize high-thermal-conductivity, high-reliability HPS and AMB thermal insulation substrates. They have passed AQG-324 reliability certification at 175°C, ensuring long-term stable operation in high-temperature environments.
Three-Phase Bridge Modules for Electric Vehicles
Starpower has introduced a compact three-phase bridge IGBT module for electric vehicles, integrating six IGBTs and freewheeling diodes into a single package, effectively saving inverter design space. Trench-type semiconductor technology ensures extremely low switching losses and excellent short-circuit protection performance. Major models include:
GD660HTA75P7H: 750V / 660A, featuring a full-copper PINFIN substrate and silicon nitride materials for optimal thermal dissipation.
GD260HTA120P7H: 1200V / 260A, utilizing a thermal management solution that combines DBC technology with a PINFIN structure.
Core Technical Advantages
Ultra-Low Conduction Losses and Short-Circuit Withstanding Capability
Starpower IGBT modules feature ultra-low conduction losses and excellent short-circuit withstand capability. A 10μs short-circuit withstand time and a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) of VCE(sat) ensure safe operating margins for the devices. Paired with fast, soft-recovery anti-parallel freewheeling diodes (FWDs), they effectively reduce switching losses and electromagnetic interference.
Advanced Packaging and Thermal Management Technology
Starpower continues to push the boundaries of packaging technology, extensively utilizing DBC (Direct Bond Copper) technology and Si₃N₄ AMB (Active Metal Bond) substrates. Combined with an optimized Pin-fin substrate design, this significantly enhances the module’s thermal performance. High-purity Si₃N₄ AMB substrates offer exceptional thermal conductivity and thermal cycling reliability, ensuring long-term stable operation of the modules under harsh operating conditions.
Integrated Temperature Monitoring
Most Starpower IGBT modules feature integrated NTC thermistor temperature sensors that monitor junction temperature in real time, providing over-temperature protection signals to the system and enhancing overall reliability.
Application Areas
Thanks to their superior performance and reliability, Starpower IGBT modules are widely used in several critical sectors:
Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: IGBT modules convert the DC power from the battery pack into the AC power required by the motor, while controlling the frequency of the AC motor to regulate its speed. Starpower modules can be used in main drive inverters, on-board chargers, and auxiliary drive systems.
Renewable Energy Generation: The core power conversion components for photovoltaic inverters and wind power generation systems.
Industrial Drives and Control: Variable frequency drives (VFDs), servo drives, and motor speed control systems.
Power Supply Equipment: Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), welding machines, induction heating, and switching power supplies.
White Goods: Inverter drive modules for household appliances such as air conditioners and refrigerators.
