The Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) is a crucial power semiconductor device, and the integrity of its internal structure directly influences both its electrical performance and long-term reliability. However, the precise semantic segmentation of IGBT ultrasonic tomographic images poses several challenges, primarily due to high-density noise interference and visual distortion caused by target warping. To address these challenges, this paper constructs a dedicated IGBT ultrasonic tomography (IUT) dataset using Scanning Acoustic Microscopy (SAM) and proposes a lightweight Multi-Scale Fusion Network (LMFNet) aimed at improving segmentation accuracy and processing efficiency in ultrasonic images analysis. LMFNet adopts a deep U-shaped encoder-decoder architecture, with the backbone designed using inverted residual blocks to optimize feature transmission while maintaining model compactness. Additionally, we introduce two flexible, plug-and-play modules: the Context Feature Fusion (CFF) module, which effectively integrates multi-scale contextual information at skip connection layers, and the Multi-Scale Perception Aggregation (MPA) module, which focuses on extracting and fusing multi-scale features at bottleneck layers. Experimental results demonstrate that LMFNet performs exceptionally well on the IUT dataset, significantly outperforming existing methods in terms of segmentation accuracy and model lightweighting performance.

IGBT-based kilovoltage pulsers for ultrasound measurement applications.

IEEE Trans Ultrason Ferroelectr Freq Control

Two high-voltage pulser designs are presented that offer advantages in some ultrasound measurement applications, such as driving thick ultrasonic source transducers used for broadband measurements of attenuation or hydrophone frequency response and directivity. The pulsers use integrated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) as the switching devices, and in one design an output voltage pulse is produced that has a peak amplitude nearly twice that of the supply voltage. The pulsers are inexpensive and relatively easy to construct.
