Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microelectronic equipment, and in particular relates to a height-adjustable silicon carbide power device packaging shell. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous development of microelectronics technology, the application of Si-based power electronic devices in some extreme environments such as high temperature, high pressure, and high humidity has been increasingly restricted. As a representative of the third generation of semiconductor materials, silicon carbide (SiC) materials have a bandgap width of about 3 times that of silicon materials, a breakdown electric field of 8 times that of silicon materials, and a thermal conductivity of 3 times that of silicon, which greatly improves the withstand voltage and current density of SiC devices. Due to the different characteristics of the two materials, the breakdown electric field of SiC materials is about 10 times that of Si materials, resulting in an on-resistance of only 1 / 100 to 1 / 200 of that of Si devices at the same breakdown voltage, which greatly reduces the conduction loss and switching loss of SiC devices, while improving system efficiency. It also makes the device more reliable in harsh environments such as high temperature, high power, and high humidity.

[0003] Therefore, SiC devices can double the power, temperature, frequency and radiation resistance of power electronic systems. At the same time, due to the high thermal conductivity of silicon carbide, the volume and weight of the heat dissipation system in the system can be greatly reduced, making the system more efficient. Therefore, SiC devices are not only widely used in traditional industrial fields such as DC and AC power transmission, uninterruptible power supply, switching power supply, industrial control, etc., but also have broad application prospects in new energy such as solar energy and wind energy.

[0004] In the related art, SiC devices need to be packaged before testing or use. After the packaging is completed, the packaging shell of the SiC device is a fixed structure. However, since the restrictions on the height of the packaged device are different under different test instruments and equipment, some equipment needs to maintain good airtightness in a small space, which requires the packaging height of the SiC device to be lower in order to complete the corresponding test. During the use of the packaged device, the strength of the package shell with a lower height (thinner thickness) has poor reliability for chip protection. Therefore, since the size and structure of the package shell are fixed, the packaging height that meets the test cannot meet the strength required for use, and the strength and height required for use cannot be tested in the test equipment, which makes the testing and use of the packaged device extremely inconvenient. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0045] Embodiment 1

[0046] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A height-adjustable silicon carbide power device package shell includes: a main cover 10, a sub-cover 20 and a chip carrier body 30. The main cover 10 has a first plug-in slot 11 at the bottom. The top of the sub-cover 20 is detachably connected to the first plug-in slot 11, and the bottom of the sub-cover 20 is provided with a second plug-in slot 21. The second plug-in slot 21 is detachably connected to the top of the chip carrier body 30. A SiC chip 40 is arranged in the chip carrier body 30.

[0047] In this embodiment, Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the SiC chip 40 is arranged in the chip carrier body 30, the main cover 10 is detachably connected to the auxiliary cover 20, and the auxiliary cover 20 is detachably connected to the chip carrier body. When testing or use is required, the main cover 10, the auxiliary cover 20 and the chip carrier body can be plugged together for use, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the main cover 10 can also be removed as needed, and only the auxiliary cover 20 and the chip carrying body are used, such as Figure 5 As shown, or remove the auxiliary cover 20, and only plug the main cover 10 and the chip carrier body together for use, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 The package shell of this embodiment can disassemble or connect the sub-cover 20 between the main cover 10 and the chip carrying body 30, and the disassembly is very convenient.

[0048] Specifically, the first plugging slot 11 may be plugged with the top of the auxiliary cover 20 , and the second plugging slot 21 may be plugged with the top of the chip carrier body, wherein the first plugging slot 11 may also be plugged with the top of the chip carrier body.

When the device needs to be tested in a small space, the package shell needs to be smaller in size, and the auxiliary cover 20 is removed from between the main cover 10 and the chip carrier body 30. The overall height of the SiC device is lower, so it can be tested in some smaller and narrow spaces to meet the testing requirements.
