Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power semiconductors, and in particular to a multi-point measuring device for shell temperature of a power semiconductor device. Background Art

[0002] Semiconductor devices that control currents up to 100A or operate at voltages up to 1200V are generally referred to as power semiconductors. Key power semiconductor devices include IGBTs, diodes, and MOSFETs. With the widespread application of these power semiconductor devices in industries such as industry, power generation, and rail transit, reliability issues under complex operating conditions and concentrated power densities are receiving increasing attention. Due to turn-on, turn-off, and conduction power consumption, device temperatures rise significantly. For temperature-sensitive chips, excessively high temperatures can cause unstable operation and even burnout. According to statistics, approximately 55% of all failure factors are primarily caused by temperature. This indicates that temperature-induced failures are a significant factor affecting device reliability, and therefore chips are often designed with a maximum allowable junction temperature limit. During testing or application, appropriate thermal management methods are selected based on the thermal characteristics and operating conditions of the power semiconductor device. Temperature control is performed through cooling or heating, and junction temperature monitoring is used to verify the effectiveness of thermal management. Thermal characteristics research and thermal management design related to power semiconductor devices are closely related to the junction temperature of the device. However, since power semiconductor devices themselves are made of multi-layer packaging of multiple materials such as silicon-based chips, it is impossible to directly measure the temperature of the chip during normal operation of the power semiconductor device without destroying the packaging structure of the power semiconductor device. Therefore, the chip temperature can only be obtained indirectly by measuring the shell temperature of the power semiconductor device package. In the existing technology, there are usually two ways to indirectly measure the shell temperature of power semiconductor devices:

[0003] (1) Encapsulating the NTC resistor inside the chip to achieve indirect measurement of the chip temperature, but it is necessary to first query the pre-measured chip temperature-NTC resistor temperature relationship curve to indirectly estimate the chip temperature. This method requires determining the relationship curve between the chip temperature and the temperature sensor in advance. The setting of the NTC resistor increases the difficulty of packaging and affects the reliability of the packaging structure. The measurement process is complicated and the measurement efficiency is low.

[0004] (2) Using the thermal impedance model, the thermal resistance and junction temperature of the model are calculated using the power consumption of the power semiconductor device and the shell temperature of the power semiconductor device. The power consumption of the power semiconductor device is obtained by substituting the detected electrical parameters into the calculation formula; the shell temperature of the power semiconductor device is generally measured by thermocouples or thermal resistors at the center of the device shell or directly measuring the temperature of the heat exchanger where the power semiconductor device is installed. For power semiconductor devices, there are many chips packaged inside. Due to the influence of the parallel arrangement of the chips, the shell temperature distribution of the power semiconductor device is uneven. The use of the thermal impedance model is not targeted. The temperature measurement point is not necessarily the shell position corresponding to the thermal impedance model. The shell temperature obtained is not necessarily the highest shell temperature. It deviates greatly from the actual shell temperature and has low accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0063] The working load of the compression spring 1-2-4 is not less than 2N, and its working compression stroke is not less than 5mm. In the embodiment of the present invention, the compression spring 1-2-4 is made of stainless steel.

[0064] The temperature measuring substrate 1-1 is also provided with a plurality of positioning holes;

[0065] One of the positioning holes is located at the center of the upper surface of the temperature measuring substrate 1-1, and the remaining positioning holes are evenly and symmetrically distributed around the positioning hole located at the center of the upper surface of the temperature measuring substrate 1-1, that is, the remaining positioning holes are evenly and symmetrically distributed around the positioning hole located at the center of the upper surface of the temperature measuring substrate 1-1, and are used to position the power semiconductor device 4 under test. In the embodiment of the present invention, the positioning holes are blind holes with a diameter of 3.6 mm and a depth of 4 mm. There are three of them, of which the first positioning hole is located at the center of the upper surface of the temperature measuring substrate 1-1, and the remaining two are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the first positioning hole.

[0066] The temperature measuring substrate 1-1 is also provided with a plurality of connection holes;

[0067] The multiple connection holes are all columnar countersunk holes, evenly arranged on the edge of the temperature measuring substrate 1 - 1 , and are used to connect the heat exchanger 2 .

[0068] The temperature measuring element 1-2 also includes a signal line 1-2-2 for connecting to an external monitoring system or a temperature recording instrument;

[0069] Signal line 1-2-2 is a metal wire covered with a PFA plastic sheath.

[0070] The upper surface of the temperature measuring substrate 1-1 contacts the power semiconductor device 4, and its lower surface contacts the heat exchanger 2. The upper and lower surfaces have a roughness of Ra 0.4, a flatness of 0.005, and a parallelism of 0.015. The shape of the temperature measuring substrate 1-1 matches that of the heat exchanger 2. In this embodiment of the present invention, the length and width of the temperature measuring substrate 1-1 are identical to those of the heat exchanger 2, respectively, and the thickness of the temperature measuring substrate 1-1 is less than that of the heat exchanger 2.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present invention, the temperature measuring substrate 1-1 is 12 mm thick and is made of 6061 aluminum alloy. Its surface is chemically nickel-plated and has excellent electrical, thermal and mechanical properties. The temperature measuring substrate 1-1 is rectangular, has a moderate thickness, and is not easily deformed by fine processing.

[0072] The fixture 3 provides mounting and fixing conditions for the power semiconductor device shell temperature multi-point measurement device 1, the heat exchanger 2, and the power semiconductor device under test 4. The heat exchanger 2 uses a coolant or a heat medium to adjust the temperature of the power semiconductor device under test 4 through heat conduction.

[0073] The power semiconductor device 4 under test is a power semiconductor device with a welded or crimped package, having a large capacity and a large number of internally packaged chips.

[0074] The installation process of the multi-point shell temperature measurement device for the power semiconductor device provided in the embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0075] Contact the lower surface of the temperature measurement substrate 1-1 with the heat exchanger 2 and then fix it. Then, place the temperature measurement element 1-2 into the cross-shaped groove 1-1-1. There is an opening on the side surface of the temperature measurement substrate 1-1, so that the upper end of the temperature measurement probe 1-2-1 is embedded in the opening 1-1-1-1 on the upper surface of the cross-shaped groove 1-1-1 on the temperature measurement substrate 1-1 and exposes 1 mm above the upper surface of the temperature measurement substrate 1-1; make the lower end of the temperature measurement probe 1-2-1 embedded in the opening 1-1-1-2 on the lower surface of the cross-shaped groove 1-1-1 on the temperature measurement substrate 1-1, and the ball head of the spring chamber 1-2-3 contacts the heat exchanger 2. At this time, the compression spring 1-2-4 is compressed by 2.5 mm. Due to the pressure, the temperature measurement element 1-2 will not fall in the cross-shaped groove 1-1-1. Subsequently, according to the measurement needs, slide the temperature measurement element 1-2 along the cross-shaped groove 1-1-1 to the limit groove 1-1-1-3 and embed it in the limit groove 1-1-1-3. The temperature measurement probe 1-2-1 exposes 1.5 mm above the upper surface of the temperature measurement substrate 1-1.
