Outline of Final Research Achievements

The principle of visualizing the temperature distribution inside the power device was experimentally confirmed. This technique is utilized the principle that the speed of the sound propagating inside the devices changes depending on the temperature change of the material. Measurement method for experimentally confirming this principle was established by integrating ultrasonic microscope, power supply system, device cooling system, temperature measurement system. It was experimentally confirmed that the detection time of the reflected wave from the interface changes depending on the temperature change inside the device. In order to analyze and visualize the temperature distribution, a simulation tool to analyze the temperature gradient inside the device was also developed.
