• Describes the Mahalanobis distance (MD) approach to detect anomalies in IGBTs.
• The MD approach can detect anomalies before failure for all NPT and FS devices evaluated.
• Shows the advantage of using the MD-based approach over a fixed threshold based approach.
In this study, a Mahalanobis distance (MD)-based anomaly detection approach has been evaluated for non-punch through (NPT) and trench field stop (FS) insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs). The IGBTs were subjected to electrical–thermal stress under a resistive load until their failure. Monitored on-state collector–emitter voltage and collector–emitter currents were used as input parameters to calculate MD. The MD values obtained from the healthy data were transformed using a Box–Cox transform, and three standard deviation limits were obtained from the transformed data. The upper three standard deviation limits of the transformed MD healthy data were used as a threshold for anomaly detection. The anomaly detection times obtained by using the MD approach were compared to the detection times obtained by using a fixed percentage change threshold for the on-state collector–emitter voltage.
