Problems solved by technology

However, the maximum possible volume of the molding material is usually limited when molding
This volume limit is exceeded when three semiconductor modules are combined
Furthermore, if all semiconductor chips are mounted on a unique substrate prior to testing, this can lead to a significant reduction in yield due to defective chips or connections

Abstract

The present invention relates to a power converter (10) comprising a semiconductor module (11) with a base plate (12) and comprising a cooling housing (13), wherein the cooling housing (13) comprises a receiving plate (14) and a cover (15), wherein the receiving plate (14) has a cutout (16), wherein the receiving plate (14) is connected to the base plate (12) of the semiconductor module (11) around the cutout (16), wherein the cover (15) is connected to the receiving plate (14) along a closure path around the cutout (16), wherein either the receiving plate (14) or the cover (15) takes the form of a stamped or deep-drawn plate. Furthermore, the present invention relates to methods for producing a power converter (10) according to one of the preceding features.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a converter comprising a cooling housing and at least one semiconductor module with a base plate. Background technique [0002] The proliferation of electric vehicles places high demands on the performance and cost of power semiconductor modules used in electric powertrains. For semiconductor modules, this means in particular the continuous improvement of the trend towards higher operating temperatures and higher power densities. [0003] One possible way of extending the permissible operating temperature to a higher level could be to replace the conventional potting of the upper surface of the semiconductor module by injection molding. In this case, the injection-molded module can have a base plate, which is held in the molding compound / encapsulation compound. For optimal cooling, heat dissipation structures can be integrated directly in the substrate, wherein the heat dissipation structures are in contact with the cooling f...
