Introduction In the manufacturing of electronic control units (ECUs) for new energy vehicles, battery management systems (BMS), and megawatt-class high-voltage industrial variable-frequency drives, “zero defects” and long-term operational reliability are the fundamental principles of production line quality control. As the manufacturing processes for automotive-grade power semiconductors and main control chips continue to shrink, the gate […]
