Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic packaging, in particular to a near-hotspot IGBT module heat dissipation and packaging structure. Background Art
[0002] With the advent of the post-Moore era, electronic component packaging technology is evolving from traditional two-dimensional packaging to 2.5-dimensional (2.5D) or higher-level three-dimensional (3D) packaging. While 3D packaging technology has increased the operating speed of electronic components and enabled miniaturization and multifunctionality of electronic devices, it also leads to further concentration of heat generated by the devices, making it impossible to effectively conduct heat using conventional heat conduction technologies. In modern electronic components, a considerable amount of power is converted into heat, and the dissipated heat seriously threatens the operational reliability of electronic devices. For example, application number CN202120754742.9 discloses an electronic packaging heat sink assembly with a heat dissipation structure, comprising a base, a chip, and pins. The base is encapsulated with resin above, a lower heat conducting plate is attached below the chip, and multiple lower heat conducting rods are fixedly connected to the periphery of the lower heat conducting plate, extending to the exterior of the base. An upper heat conducting plate is attached above the chip, and multiple upper heat conducting rods are fixedly connected to the periphery of the upper heat conducting plate, extending to the exterior of the resin. This solution improves the thermal conductivity by setting up thermal conductive plates on the top and bottom of the chip, and filling the gap between the thermal conductive plate and the chip with a filling layer. The thermal conductive rod is fixedly connected around the thermal conductive plate, and the thermal conductive rod extends to the outside of the packaging structure. The contact between the thermal conductive plate and the air improves the heat exchange efficiency, and the good conductivity of the metal is used to dissipate the heat of the chip, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the packaging structure.
[0003] Due to the high heat dissipation requirements of power devices, thermal management is a crucial aspect of power packaging design. Thermal management has become one of the primary issues hindering the development of modern electronic components. Thermal management of power electronic devices involves achieving high heat dissipation performance through efficient heat dissipation technologies and rational structural design. However, with the increasing integration density and heat flux of IGBT modules, achieving efficient heat dissipation is a significant constraint on the widespread application of high-power IGBT modules.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing heat dissipation technology to solve the shortcomings of the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

Thermal management of power electronic devices refers to achieving high heat dissipation performance of devices through efficient heat dissipation technology and reasonable structural design. However, with the continuous improvement of the integration of IGBT modules and the continuous increase in heat flux density, how to achieve efficient heat dissipation has restricted the widespread application of high-power IGBT modules.

[0016] The present invention provides a near-hotspot IGBT module heat dissipation and packaging structure, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] This solution is based on the above-mentioned background technology. Due to the high heat dissipation of power devices, thermal management is a more critical aspect in power packaging design. The problem of "thermal management" has become one of the primary problems hindering the development of modern electronic components. Thermal management of power electronic devices refers to achieving high heat dissipation performance of devices through efficient heat dissipation technology and reasonable structural design.

The integration of the bonding copper layer is achieved through heating and pressurizing. The new lower copper layer and the heat dissipation copper shell are ultrasonically vibrated to achieve the diffusion and recombination of copper ions, integrating the two parts together in the same root and copper-copper bonding method, and firmly combining the three components through eutectic bonding. The excess part of the pre-ceramic layer is then cut off by wire cutting, and the cut surface is processed by a polishing process to finally form a new DBC layer structure.
