In a method for monitoring a degradation mechanism of a switch device in a power conversion circuit. When individually determining the degradation mechanism of internal defects of the switch device, it is determined through a change trend of a real-time current change rate that internal defect degradation is caused by an increase of an oxide layer defect density or an interface defect density. It is confirmed through a decrease in the real-time current change rate that internal defect degradation is caused by the increase of the oxide layer defect density. When the real-time current change rate increases, it is determined through a secondary testing including the on-state resistance and low-frequency noise testing that degradation is caused by accurate packaging and/or the increase of the interface defect density.
