Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power module packaging, and in particular to a power module. Background Art
[0002] At present, in related technologies, when a packaged power module is in use, the current passing through the power module will cause the power module itself to generate a certain amount of heat. If the power module itself generates too much heat, the temperature of the power module will rise sharply, thereby affecting the overall performance of the power module and even damaging the power module. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related art.
[0004] To this end, the present invention provides a power module.
[0005] In view of this, the first aspect of the present invention provides a power module, including a substrate and a bonding assembly, the bonding assembly including multiple chips, bonding components and terminals; the multiple chips are arranged on the substrate and electrically connected to the substrate; the bonding components are respectively connected to the multiple chips; and the terminals are electrically connected to the bonding components.
[0006] The power module provided by the present invention includes a substrate and a bonding assembly. The bonding assembly is disposed on the substrate, which can be a substrate with relatively good heat dissipation and electrical conductivity. The bonding assembly includes multiple chips, bonding components, and terminals. When the power module is operating, current flows into the power module through the terminals, then flows through the bonding components to the multiple chips, and then flows to the substrate.
[0007] During the operation of the power module, the current passes through the terminals and then flows to multiple chips through the bonding components. The multiple chips are connected in parallel, making the current density evenly distributed, reducing the heat generated by the power device, and thus reducing the impact of the heat generated by the power module on the performance of the power module. While improving the quality of the power module, it reduces the probability of damage to the power module due to heat and extends the life of the power device.
[0008] Since the current density distribution is more uniform, the power module allows a larger current to pass through, further improving the quality of the power module.
[0009] Since the current density distribution is more uniform, the heat generated by the power module is also more uniform, which facilitates the heat dissipation of the power module and improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the power module.
[0010] The power module provided by the present invention has relatively uniform stress distribution and good reliability.
[0011] The bonding component is a metal bonding component.
[0012] The substrate is provided with mounting holes for connecting and fixing the packaging structure with other devices.
[0013] Specifically, the chip is a diode chip.
[0014] In addition, the power module in the above technical solution provided by the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:
[0015] In a technical solution of the present invention, the bonding assembly further includes a first support plate, which is arranged between the multiple chips; the bonding component is electrically connected to the first support plate; and the terminal is electrically connected to the first support plate.
[0016] In this technical solution, the first support plate is arranged on the substrate, and the bonding component is bonded through the first support plate, which increases the height of the end of the bonding component electrically connected to the terminal, thereby making the connection and installation of the bonding component more convenient.
[0017] The power module includes a substrate and a bonding assembly, which includes multiple chips, a first support plate, bonding components, and terminals. This simplifies the structure and reduces the weight of the power module, thereby reducing its overall weight and achieving lightweighting. Due to the reduced weight of the power module, the bonding locations are less likely to break or fall off when the power module is dropped or subjected to external impact, making the power module less susceptible to damage, extending its service life, and making its operation safer and more reliable.
[0018] Specifically, the first support plate is a DBC (Direct Bonded Copper) structure and / or a multi-layer structure with a conductive upper surface and an insulating middle portion.
[0019] The terminal is welded to the first supporting plate.
[0020] The two ends of the bonding component can also be directly connected to the chips that need to be connected in parallel without passing through the first supporting plate.
[0021] In one technical solution of the present invention, the first support plate includes an insulating portion and a conductive portion. The insulating portion is attached to the substrate; the conductive portion is attached to the insulating portion; the bonding component is overlapped on the conductive portion; and the terminal is connected to the conductive portion.
[0022] In this technical solution, the first support plate includes an insulating portion and a conductive portion. The insulating portion is attached to the substrate; the conductive portion is attached to the insulating portion, making the first support plate insulated in the longitudinal direction. The insulating portion insulates the conductive portion from the substrate, preventing current from flowing directly to the substrate after passing through the support plate. A bonding component is overlapped with the conductive portion; the terminal is connected to the conductive portion, making the first support plate conductive in the transverse direction. The conductive portion connects the terminal and the bonding component, so that current flowing to the terminal passes through the bonding component and chip before flowing to the substrate, thereby improving the stability of the power module during operation.
[0023] In one embodiment of the present invention, the terminal is in the form of a sheet, column, or block, and includes a fixing portion, a connecting portion, and a mounting portion. The fixing portion is attached to the conductive portion; one end of the connecting portion is connected to the fixing portion, and the other end extends away from the first support plate; the mounting portion is connected to the other end of the connecting portion and is provided with a connection hole.
[0024] In this technical solution, the terminal includes a fixed portion and a connecting portion. The fixed portion is attached to the conductive portion, increasing the contact area between the terminal and the first support plate, reducing the resistance at the connection between the terminal and the first support plate, thereby reducing the heat generated at the connection between the terminal and the first support plate, and lowering the operating temperature of the power module. One end of the connecting portion is connected to the fixed portion, and the other end extends away from the first support plate, facilitating connection between the power module and external devices.
[0025] The terminal can be in sheet shape, column shape or block shape to facilitate terminal processing.
[0026] When the terminal is in the form of a sheet, the terminal includes two fixed parts and two connecting parts. The two fixed parts are respectively attached to the conductive parts, and one end of the two connecting parts is respectively connected to the two fixed parts and is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the conductive parts. The terminal also includes a mounting part, and the two ends of the mounting part are respectively connected to the other ends of the two connecting parts. The mounting part is provided with a conductive connection hole for connecting the circuit.
[0027] The power module further includes a support block, which is arranged between the two fixing parts and abuts against the mounting part.
[0028] The bonding component is overlapped between the two fixing parts.
[0029] In a technical solution of the present invention, the multiple chips are arranged on both sides of the first support plate; or the multiple chips are arranged around the first support plate.
[0030] In this technical solution, multiple chips are arranged on both sides of the first support plate; or multiple chips are arranged around the first support plate, which facilitates the electrical connection of the chips with the conductive parts through the bonding components, making the chip layout more reasonable.
[0031] In a technical solution of the present invention, the plurality of chips are symmetrically arranged relative to the first supporting plate.
[0032] In this technical solution, multiple chips are symmetrically arranged relative to the first support plate, further improving the uniformity of the power module's current density during operation, reducing the heat generated by the power devices, and thereby minimizing the impact of heat generation on the power module's performance. This improves the quality of the power module while reducing the probability of damage due to heat generation, thereby extending the life of the power devices. This also increases the current allowed to pass through the power module, further improving the quality of the power module. Furthermore, the heat generation of the power module is more uniform, facilitating heat dissipation and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the power module.
[0033] In a technical solution of the present invention, the power module further includes a plurality of second support plates, which are respectively arranged between the plurality of chips and the substrate, and are conductive support plates.
[0034] In one technical solution of the present invention, the bonding component is a copper sheet, an aluminum strip, or a plurality of bonding wires arranged in parallel.
[0035] In this technical solution, the bonding components are copper sheets or aluminum strips. These have low density and are therefore lightweight, reducing the overall weight of the power module. This reduced weight reduces the risk of the bonding joints breaking or falling off when the module is dropped or subjected to external impact, thus minimizing damage to the module and extending its service life, making it safer and more reliable.
[0036] In a technical solution of the present invention, two ends of the bonding component are respectively overlapped on two chips among the multiple chips and are in contact with the first support plate.
[0037] In this technical solution, the two ends of the bonding component are respectively overlapped on two chips among the multiple chips and fit with the first support plate, so that the bonding component is arranged across the first support plate, thereby making the force on the bonding component more uniform, improving the uniformity of the stress distribution of the power module, thereby improving the reliability of the power module, and further extending the life of the power module.
[0038] In a technical solution of the present invention, one end of the bonding component is overlapped on the multiple chips, and the other end is overlapped on the first supporting plate.
[0039] In this technical solution, one end of the bonding component is overlapped on multiple chips, and the other end is overlapped on the first support plate. Each bonding component corresponds to one chip, which simplifies the production process difficulty of the power module and improves the qualification rate of the power module.
[0040] In one technical solution of the present invention, there are two groups of bonding components, and the two groups of bonding components are symmetrically arranged.
[0041] In this technical solution, there are two sets of bonding assemblies, which are symmetrically arranged. This further improves the uniformity of the current density during operation of the power module, reduces the heat generated by the power device, and thus reduces the impact of heat generation on the power module performance. While improving the quality of the power module, it also reduces the probability of damage due to heat generation and extends the life of the power device. It also allows a larger current to pass through the power module, further improving the quality of the power module. It also makes the heat generation of the power module more uniform, thereby facilitating the heat dissipation of the power module and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the power module.
[0042] Specifically, each group of bonding components includes two chips, and the two chips are respectively arranged on both sides of the first support plate.

[0046] In one technical solution of the present invention, the power module further includes a shell and a filler; the shell is sleeved on the outside of the bonding assembly and connected to the substrate; and the filler is filled in the shell.
[0047] In this technical solution, a housing is placed over the bonded assembly to prevent foreign objects from coming into contact with the bonded components, further improving the stability of the power module during operation. Filler is placed within the housing to cushion external forces impacting the power module, reducing the likelihood of damage to the bonded assembly. Furthermore, the filler within the housing secures and supports the bonded components, further improving the stability of the power module during operation.

It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other.
[0083] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention.

Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0084] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 21 Power modules according to some embodiments of the present invention are described.
[0085] Example 1:

[0087] In this embodiment, the power module includes a substrate 100 and a bonding assembly 200. The bonding assembly 200 is disposed on the substrate 100, which can be a substrate 100 with relatively good heat dissipation and electrical conductivity. The bonding assembly 200 includes multiple chips 210, a bonding component 220, and terminals 230. When the power module is operating, current flows into the power module through the terminals 230, then flows through the bonding component 220 to the multiple chips 210, and then flows to the substrate 100.
[0088] During the operation of the power module, the current passes through the terminal 230 and then flows to the multiple chips 210 through the bonding component 220.

While improving the quality of the power module, the probability of the power module being damaged due to heat is reduced, thereby extending the life of the power device.
[0089] Since the current density distribution is more uniform, the power module allows a larger current to pass through, further improving the quality of the power module.
[0090] Since the current density distribution is more uniform, the heat generated by the power module is also more uniform, which facilitates the heat dissipation of the power module and improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the power module.

[0098] In this embodiment, the first support plate 240 is provided on the substrate 100, and the bonding component 220 is bonded through the first support plate 240, thereby raising the height of one end of the bonding component 220 electrically connected to the terminal 230, thereby making the connection and installation of the bonding component 220 more convenient.
[0099] The power module comprises a substrate 100 and a bonding assembly 200, the bonding assembly 200 comprises a plurality of chips 210, a first support plate 240, a bonding component 220 and a terminal 230, so that the structure of the power module is simpler, the weight is lighter, thereby reducing the overall weight of the power module, and the lightweight of the power module is realized. Due to the reduction of the weight of the power module, the bonding position is not easy to break and fall off when the power module falls or is impacted by external force, the power module is not easy to be damaged, the service life of the power module is prolonged, and the work of the power module is safer and more reliable.

[0101] Specifically, the first support plate 240 is a DBC structure and / or a multilayer structure with a conductive upper surface and an insulating middle.
[0102] The terminal 230 is welded on the first support plate 240.
[0103] The two ends of the bonding component 220 can also be directly connected to the chips 210 that need to be connected in parallel without passing through the first support plate 240.
