Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a high-density aerospace power supply filter based on a common-differential-mode three-dimensional integrated inductor and a manufacturing method, which is suitable for a power supply input filter product in the field of aerospace secondary power supply, and can be popularized and applied to high-density filters and secondary power supply products with large current characteristics in the military and civilian fields. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to solve the EMC interference problem of secondary power supply to load equipment in satellites and spacecraft, a power supply filter must be equipped on the input side of the secondary power supply. With the rapid development of communication and navigation satellite technology, the power and current level of the secondary power supply of the spacecraft as energy gradually increase, which leads to the fact that the size of the power supply filter matched with the secondary power supply is getting larger and larger, and the size of the power supply filter is close to that of the secondary power supply body. Meanwhile, the heat consumption of the inductors and other devices in the filter is increased due to the increase of the power level, and the heat dissipation problem affects the reliability of the filter and the entire power supply system. Therefore, it is urgent to research and design a power supply filter with smaller size and higher power level.

[0003] The traditional power supply filter has two inductors and multiple sets of capacitors welded on a printed circuit board, and the space utilization rate is low. Some filters use a steel structure shell to enhance the heat dissipation capacity, so they can only be installed through a flange structure, which further occupies the area of the filter. Limited by the space radiation environment of the spacecraft, the aerospace power supply filter cannot use small-sized integrated process methods such as plastic package substrate integration process, and can only dissipate heat through conduction in a vacuum environment, so it cannot use process means such as pouring to enhance radiation heat dissipation. Through retrieval of relevant literatures at home and abroad, no high-density aerospace power supply filter based on a common-differential-mode integrated inductor and a manufacturing method are found.

[0037] The application will be further described below in combination with the embodiments.

[0038] The embodiment of the high-density aerospace power supply filter based on the common-differential-mode three-dimensional integrated inductor is described.

[0039] The aerospace power supply filter of the application can realize the power density index greater than or equal to 5000W / in 3 In the embodiment, the rated power of the aerospace power supply filter is 300W, the size is less than or equal to 16mmx16mmx3.5mm, and the power density is greater than or equal to 5357W / in 3 .

[0040] Figure 1 and Figure 2The diagrams shown are a schematic diagram and a structural diagram of the high-density aerospace power filter circuit based on a common-mode three-dimensional integrated inductor of the present invention. The high-density aerospace power filter based on a common-mode three-dimensional integrated inductor includes a dual-core magnetic core 1, an LTCC substrate 2 integrating common-mode capacitors C3, C4, C5, C6 and inductor windings, four differential-mode capacitors 3 (C1, C2, C7, C8), 24 BGA solder balls 4, a matching magnetic core 5, a metal cover plate 6, and a metal frame 7.

[0041] The dual-core magnetic material is a ferrite material with high permeability. In this embodiment, the dual-core magnetic material is 3E6. The dual-core magnetic material has two cores and two side cores. The height of the two side cores is designed to be h (in meters) lower than the height of the cores. The magnitude of this height difference is determined by the value of the differential-mode inductance L2 (in meters) required for the filter. It should be calculated after the common-mode inductor design is completed, based on the number of turns N (in turns) of the common-mode inductor and the effective cross-sectional area Ah of the dual-core magnetic material. The calculation formula is: h = (N² × μ₀ × Ah) / (N² × μ₀ ... h ) / L2. The dimensions of the dual-core magnetic core used in this embodiment are 14mm×5mm×2mm. The height of the two side pillars is designed to be 0.1mm lower than the height of the core. The dimensions of the two side pillars are 5mm×1mm×1.9mm, and the dimensions of the two cores are 5mm×1mm×2mm. The inductance of the common-mode inductor is designed to be 560μH, and the inductance of the differential-mode inductor is designed to be 10μH.

[0042] The LTCC substrate is primarily made of Al₂O₃ ceramic, internally integrating common-mode capacitors, inductor windings, and conductors. Conductor printing is employed. Based on aerospace ceramic capacitor selection requirements, the common-mode capacitor has a capacitance of 100pF and a withstand voltage ≥100V. In this embodiment, the embedded common-mode capacitor uses a VIC structure, with silver electrodes and a ceramic dielectric material of 7.8 dielectric constant, 0.0047 dielectric loss, and a thickness of 35μm. The internal inductor windings of the LTCC substrate utilize… Figure 3 The interconnected three-dimensional spiral structure shown has a coil turn count calculated based on the inductance coefficient AL value of the magnetic core material used. In this embodiment, the inductor winding coil inside the LTCC substrate has 10 turns.

[0043] The inner metal layer of the LTCC substrate uses gold conductors, while the outer layer uses platinum-palladium-silver conductors to increase current carrying capacity. The conductor width is adjusted according to the current magnitude, and the conductor current density should be less than or equal to 10 A / mm². 2 The vias connecting the inner and outer conductors are filled with silver paste, and the via dimensions are designed to be 0.3mm × 0.3mm. 24 BGA / PGA pads are led out from the back of the LTCC substrate. The number of pads is calculated based on the current, and the current density should be less than or equal to 10A / mm². 2The electrical performance design of BGA pads includes four potentials: primary bus input positive, primary bus input negative, secondary power input positive, secondary power input negative, and case ground. The pads are circular in shape. To ensure soldering quality, the design standard for pad size is as follows: when using 0.89mm diameter solder balls, the pad size should be designed to be 0.86mm with a pitch of 1.27mm; when using 0.76mm diameter solder balls, the pad size should be designed to be 0.76mm with a pitch of 1mm.

[0044] The four differential-mode capacitors are ceramic capacitors. Considering the derating standards and reliability design criteria of aerospace power supplies, the capacitors should be connected in series, with a withstand voltage of ≥100V and a capacitance of ≥6.8μF to ensure that the filter has good differential-mode interference suppression. The ceramic capacitors are soldered onto the LTCC substrate using reflow soldering.

[0045] BGA solder balls are high-temperature solder balls made of Pb90Sn10 material, with a diameter of 0.89mm and a pitch of 1.27mm. BGA solder balls serve as electrical and mechanical connections.

[0046] The matching magnetic core is made of the same material as the dual-column magnetic core, and has the same length and width as the dual-column magnetic core. Its height is consistent with the height of the BGA solder balls. In this embodiment, the dual-column magnetic core is made of 3E6 material, and the matching magnetic core has a size of 14mm×5mm×1mm.

[0047] The metal frame is made of 4J29 Kovar alloy with Ni / Au plating. The frame is designed to be at the same electrical potential as the filter's shell and ground, and the frame thickness is 0.6mm.

[0048] The metal cover plate is made of 4J29 Kovar alloy with Ni / Au plating. The cover plate is designed to be at the same potential as the filter shell ground in terms of electrical performance. The cover plate is a stepped cover plate with a thickness of 0.25mm. The cover plate thickness at the sealing part where the cover plate contacts the frame is 0.1mm. The fillet radius of the cover plate and the welding ring is 0.8mm.

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, the common-mode and differential-mode integrated inductor consists of a dual-core magnetic core, a matching core, and an LTCC substrate bonded together. The LTCC substrate has four hollow areas in the middle for the dual-core magnetic core to pass through. After passing through the LTCC substrate, the dual-core magnetic core is bonded to the matching core, forming a common-mode inductor L1 and a differential-mode inductor L2. The dual cores of the dual-core magnetic core, the LTCC substrate, and the matching core form the common-mode inductor L1, with an inductance of 560μH. The side cores of the dual-core magnetic core, the LTCC substrate, and the matching core form the differential-mode inductor, with an inductance of 10μH. The top of the magnetic core contacts the cover plate for heat dissipation, while the bottom of the magnetic core is exposed on the bottom surface of the filter to increase the heat dissipation contact area. Simultaneously, the bottom surface of the magnetic core is coplanar with the BGA solder balls, serving as a mechanical mounting interface together with the BGA solder balls.

[0050] An example of a manufacturing method for a high-density aerospace power filter based on a common-mode stereointegrated inductor is described.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, the manufacturing method of a high-density aerospace power filter based on a common-mode three-dimensional integrated inductor is illustrated in the following embodiment.

[0052] Step 1:

[0053] Fabrication of LTCC multilayer ceramic substrates. Based on the preliminary electrical design, mechanical design, and layout design, the LTCC multilayer substrates are fabricated. Among them, the common mode inductor winding should adopt a three-dimensional spiral structure printing.

[0054] Step 2:

[0055] Solder the metal frame and BGA balls. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the high-temperature welding fixture assembly for the metal frame and BGA solder balls includes a copper clamping block 8 and a graphite fixture 9.

[0056] Step 2-1. Clean the metal frame of the integrated common-mode capacitor and inductor winding coil, and the LTCC substrate in trichloroethane solution. After cleaning, invert the LTCC substrate and apply high-temperature solder paste to the BGA / PGA pads on the bottom of the LTCC substrate using a stencil. The melting point of the high-temperature solder paste used for soldering should be higher than that of the low-temperature solder paste used in subsequent processing steps. In this example, step 2-1 uses 5087 high-temperature solder paste with a thickness of 80-100 μm. Place the Pb90Sn10 BGA solder balls on a pre-grooved graphite fixture, then flip the LTCC substrate face up. After precisely aligning the BGA pads of the LTCC substrate with the solder balls on the graphite fixture using positioning marks, stack the LTCC substrate on top of the graphite fixture.

[0057] Step 2-2. Place a square-shaped alloy solder around the LTCC substrate in the surrounding frame soldering area, then stack a metal frame on top, and finally place a copper pressure block on top of the metal frame. This ensures that the LTCC substrate, BGA solder balls, and metal frame are firmly fixed by the high-temperature resistant graphite fixture and the copper pressure block, preventing the solder balls or frame from shifting during high-temperature soldering.

[0058] Steps 2-3. The high-temperature welding fixture assembly of the metal frame and BGA solder balls is sintered in a vacuum welding furnace for 30 minutes, with a peak sintering temperature of 360-400℃.

[0059] Step 3:

[0060] Solder the differential mode capacitor. Place the LTCC substrate face up, apply Pb63Sn37 solder paste on the LTCC substrate face through the U-shaped mesh, the thickness of the solder paste is 80-100 μm, place the capacitor on the corresponding pad through the chip mounter, and solder the capacitor on the LTCC substrate through the reflow soldering furnace.

[0061] Step 4:

[0062] Manufacture the three-dimensional integrated inductance and device fixation of the common differential mode.

[0063] Step 4-1. Manually glue the soldered differential mode capacitor, the position of the fixing glue should be on both sides of the body of the capacitor other than the pad, and the height of the fixing glue should be less than or equal to the height of the differential mode capacitor. The fixing glue should be selected as much as possible to have good fixing properties at high temperatures, and the fixing glue should not be easily cracked due to temperature changes. The type of the fixing glue in the embodiment is EMS400-36.

[0064] Step 4-2.

[0065] Arrange the double-pillar magnetic core, the matching magnetic core and the LTCC substrate on the same vertical line through the device, test the common mode inductance and the differential mode inductance at this time, compact the double-pillar magnetic core and the matching magnetic core when the differential mode inductance meets the requirements, and point the fixing glue at the joint of the three through the glue dispenser. The fixing glue should be selected as much as possible to have good fixing properties at high temperatures, and the fixing glue should not be easily cracked due to temperature changes. The type of the fixing glue in the embodiment is EMS400-36. Keep the double-pillar magnetic core and the matching magnetic core in the compact state, and store the assembly of the double-pillar magnetic core, the matching magnetic core and the LTCC substrate in a 120℃ environment, and stand still for 45 minutes for solidification.

[0066] Step 5:

[0067] Cover plate welding. Clean the LTCC substrate with the fixed magnetic core, paste the heat-conducting insulating gasket on the inner surface of the metal cover plate, and scrub the metal cover plate and the metal frame on the LTCC substrate, and after baking in an inert gas environment, weld the cover plate on the LTCC frame through the parallel seam welding machine.

[0068] The three-dimensional integrated common differential mode inductance of the application greatly improves the space utilization, reduces the size of the power filter by more than 50%, at the same time, the double-sided interconnection of the LTCC substrate reduces the line loss, the inductance top contacts with the cover plate for heat dissipation, and the bottom extends out of the substrate to enhance the heat dissipation capacity, so that the power filter of the application can adapt to larger current and high power application occasions.

[0069] Although the present application has been disclosed with reference to the preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present application, and any person skilled in the art can make possible changes and modifications to the technical solutions of the present application using the disclosed methods and technical contents without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present application without departing from the technical solutions of the present application shall fall within the protection scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
