Abstract
The technology used in the design of the high power density Electric Vehicle (EV) power inverters packaging (power modules electrical, thermal and thermo-mechanical properties) directly
affect the power inverter performance, cost, reliability, efficiency and power density. In this
paper the technical trends and advances in EV power module packaging technologies will be
reviewed and actual manufactured automotive power modules will be evaluated. Advantages
and disadvantages of such modules will be highlighted.
