Abstract

The present invention concerns a system for determining if a deterioration occurs in an interface of a semiconductor die of an electric power module, the electric power module further comprising a substrate and at least one electromechanical transductor, the semiconductor die and the at least one electromechanical transductor being placed on or embedded within the substrate, wherein the system comprises: —means for transferring at least one electric signal to the at least one electromechanical transductor, —means for measuring the impedance of the at least one electromechanical transductor, —means for comparing the impedance of the at least one electromechanical transductor to a predetermined value, —means for deciding that the deterioration occurs in the interface of the semiconductor die according to the comparison result.
