Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and more specifically, to a silicon carbide intelligent power module. Background Art

[0002] Intelligent power module, or IPM (Intelligent Power Module), is a power semiconductor system product that combines power electronics and integrated circuit technology. Intelligent power modules integrate power switching devices and high-voltage drive circuits, and have built-in fault detection circuits such as undervoltage, overcurrent and overheating. The voltage is generally 600V, and the current is generally 1A to 50A. The integrated power devices are silicon IGBT and silicon MOSFET. On the one hand, the intelligent power module receives the control signal of MCU and ASIC, performs voltage and current amplification, high and low voltage isolation, and drives the subsequent circuit to work. On the other hand, it performs abnormal detection and self-protection, and sends abnormal state detection signals back to MCU. Compared with traditional discrete solutions, intelligent power modules have won an increasingly large market with their advantages such as high integration and high reliability. They are especially suitable for inverters and various inverter systems for driving motors. They are an ideal power electronic device for industrial machinery motor drives, servo motor drives, variable frequency home appliances, electric vehicles, and new energy.

[0003] The HVIC inside the current IPM uses PN junction and HVJT isolation, and the isolation voltage cannot reach 1200V. Therefore, there is no 1200V IPM, let alone 1200V silicon carbide IPM, which makes the IPM reliability relatively poor. Silicon carbide MOS and SBD are currently mainly single-tube packages, and their driving circuits are mainly board-level circuits or single-tube package HVICs, which are inconvenient to use, making the IPM less convenient to use.
