The heat sheet 11 is fixed. In step 2, during the silicone grease 16 coating process, the silicone grease 16 needs to be attached to the side wall inside the substrate 1, and after the bottom diamond heat sink 14 is pressed on the top of the silicone grease 16, the silicone grease 16 overflowing from the edge of the bottom diamond heat sink 14 is removed by an external scraping device. The preparation method of silicon carbide power device based on diamond heat dissipation is achieved by coating silicone grease 16 on the top of the substrate 1 and directly attaching the diamond thermal conductive component 5 to the top of the centralized procurement through the silicone grease 16. The heat generated by the internal power module 8 can be conducted outward along the diamond thermal conductive component 5, the heat conduction area is larger, and the fit is higher.

Specifically, in this structure, the bottom diamond heat sink 14 can absorb the heat generated by the power module 8 by directly contacting the substrate 1 or the top of the internal power module 8 chip, and discharge the heat outward through the heat dissipation hole 4 on the top. At the same time, part of the heat is transferred upward through the middle diamond heat sink 13 in the middle and transferred to the top diamond heat sink 11, and the heat conduction effect is simultaneously achieved with the help of the top diamond heat sink 11.

By partially introducing the pin 2 upward and pressing it on the inner boss 9, the bottom After the diamond heat sink 14 is installed, it is supported and installed by the inner boss 9, and at the same time, the heat generated by each pin 2 can be discharged outward at the same time, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the pin 2 part, and the insulation property of the diamond will not affect the transmission of current.
