Optimal design of power semiconductor devices

The interactive multicriterion optimization of power semiconductor devices is described. The technique is implemented in an integrated system of compatible program packages built up on the basis of the programming system PRIZ. Several problem-oriented languages are available for a designer of power semiconductor devices for interaction with the program packages. The experience gained from the exploitation of the system shows that such an approach to the multicriterion design of power semiconductor devices leads to a better understanding of the physical contents of the problem and a more precise coincidence with the optimal solution. Examples illustrating the considered method of optimal design are given.
