Moreover, the traditional power semiconductor module adopts a single-sided cooling structure, and the heat generated by the power chip loss is conducted to the heat sink in a single direction through the DBC and the substrate. However, for high-integration or high-power power semiconductors, due to the large amount of heat generated by the chip, the single-sided heat dissipation has poor heat dissipation efficiency, and it is difficult to solve the heat dissipation demand of high heat, so the demand for double-sided heat dissipation solutions is becoming more and more urgent.

[0046] In the subsequent description, the suffix such as "module", "component" or "unit" used to represent the element is only for the convenience of the description of the present application, and has no specific meaning. Therefore, "module" and "component" can be used mixedly.

[0047] As Figures 1-6 shown, the present application discloses a double-sided heat dissipation power semiconductor module,

[0048] including a first substrate 1 and a second substrate 2, the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2 both include a connecting copper layer, an insulating medium layer and an outer copper layer arranged in close contact, the insulating medium layer is arranged between the connecting copper layer and the outer copper layer. The first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2 are spaced apart and vertically coincident, so that the connecting copper layer 11 of the first substrate and the connecting copper layer 21 of the second substrate are opposite. The connecting copper layer 11 of the first substrate is provided with an upper bridge arm chip 3, so that the connecting copper layer 11 of the first substrate is connected with the solder point surface of the upper bridge arm chip 3, and the connecting copper layer 21 of the second substrate is connected with the upper surface of the upper bridge arm chip 3. The connecting copper layer 21 of the second substrate is provided with a lower bridge arm chip 4, the connecting copper layer 21 of the second substrate is connected with the solder point surface of the lower bridge arm chip 4, and the connecting copper layer 11 of the first substrate is connected with the upper surface of the lower bridge arm chip 4. The signal terminal 6 and the power terminal 5 are arranged on both sides between the connecting copper layer 11 of the first substrate and the connecting copper layer 21 of the second substrate.

[0049] Specifically, the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2 are both three-layer structures, including a connecting copper layer, an insulating medium layer and an outer copper layer arranged in sequence. The first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2 are arranged in a spaced and opposite manner. It can be understood that the size of the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2 is exactly the same, so that the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2 coincide in the vertical direction. After the connecting copper layer 11 of the first substrate and the connecting copper layer 21 of the second substrate are opposite, the connecting copper layer 11 of the first substrate and the connecting copper layer 21 of the second substrate can be electrically connected through chips and terminals, so that a commutation loop can be formed when the power semiconductor module is powered on. The outer copper layer 13 of the first substrate and the outer copper layer 23 of the second substrate are opposite, which can transfer the heat of the power semiconductor to the outside from two directions, so that the power semiconductor module can realize the effect of double-sided heat dissipation. Further, heat dissipation equipment can be connected to the outer copper layer 13 of the first substrate and the outer copper layer 23 of the second substrate, respectively, such as arranging a heat dissipation waterway on the outer copper layer 13 of the first substrate and the outer copper layer 23 of the second substrate, respectively, to improve the efficiency of double-sided heat dissipation of the power semiconductor module.

[0050] The insulating medium layer is arranged between the connecting copper layer and the outer copper layer to form insulation between the connecting copper layer and the outer copper layer, avoiding interference between the commutation function of the connecting copper layer and the heat dissipation function of the outer copper layer. The insulating medium layer can be made of zirconia toughened alumina ceramic, silicon nitride ceramic, aluminum nitride ceramic, etc.

[0051] Preferably, the thickness of the connecting copper layer, the insulating medium layer and the outer copper layer can be set as 0.3mm, 0.32mm and 0.4mm, respectively.

[0052] The signal terminal 6 is arranged in a strip-shaped metal, which can be connected to the drive board through welding, connector and the like, and is used to lead out signals at different positions of the commutation circuit of the power semiconductor module. The power terminal 5 is arranged in a sheet-shaped metal, which can be connected to the capacitor through laser welding and the like, and is used to input direct current to the power semiconductor module and lead out alternating current.

[0053] In the present application, the solder point surface of the chip refers to the surface obtained by depositing the protruding solder points on the IO unit side of the chip, and the upper surface of the chip refers to the other surface of the chip opposite to the solder point surface. The connecting copper layer 11 of the first substrate is connected to the solder point surface of the upper bridge arm chip 3, and the connecting copper layer 21 of the second substrate is connected to the solder point surface of the lower bridge arm chip 4, that is, the upper bridge arm chip 3 is connected to the connecting copper layer 11 of the first substrate in a flip chip manner, and the lower bridge arm chip 4 is connected to the connecting copper layer 21 of the second substrate in a flip chip manner, so that the upper bridge arm chip 3 and the lower bridge arm chip 4 are respectively flip-chip mounted on the two opposite connecting copper layers in opposite directions. And the connecting copper layer 21 of the second substrate is connected to the upper surface of the upper bridge arm chip 3, and the connecting copper layer 11 of the first substrate is connected to the upper surface of the lower bridge arm chip 4, so that the current can flow between the connecting copper layer 11 of the first substrate and the connecting copper layer 21 of the second substrate through the upper bridge arm chip 3 and the lower bridge arm chip 4, and a commutation loop is formed between the first substrate and the second substrate.

[0054] Since the flip chip manner is to directly connect the chip to the substrate, carrier or circuit board through the solder point surface of the chip, the vertical size is smaller than that of the wire bonding manner. And since the upper bridge arm chip 3 and the lower bridge arm chip 4 are respectively mounted on the connecting copper layer 11 of the first substrate and the connecting copper layer 21 of the second substrate in opposite directions, the commutation loop can be formed without the need of connecting conductive pads between the connecting copper layer 11 of the first substrate and the connecting copper layer 21 of the second substrate, which can reduce the use of components and reduce the lateral size of the power semiconductor module.

[0055] It can be understood that since the connecting copper layer 21 of the second substrate is connected to the upper surface of the upper bridge arm chip 3, and the connecting copper layer 11 of the first substrate is connected to the upper surface of the lower bridge arm chip 4, the signal terminal 6 and the power terminal 5 are respectively arranged on the two sides between the connecting copper layer 11 of the first substrate and the connecting copper layer 21 of the second substrate, therefore, after the above components complete their respective connection relationship, the distance between the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2, the thickness of the upper bridge arm chip 3, the thickness of the lower bridge arm chip 4, the thickness of the signal terminal 6 and the thickness of the power terminal 5 are all equal.

[0056] When the above components are connected by soldering, a solder layer will be formed on the surface of any component connected to other components, so that the distance between the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2, the thickness of the upper bridge arm chip 3 and its two solder layers, the thickness of the lower bridge arm chip 4 and its two solder layers, the thickness of the signal terminal 6 and its two solder layers, and the thickness of the power terminal 5 and its two solder layers are all equal.

[0057] In one optional embodiment, a first conductive pad is disposed between the connecting copper layer 11 of the first substrate and the upper bridge arm chip 3. The connecting copper layer 11 of the first substrate is connected to the bottom surface of the first conductive pad, and the top surface of the first conductive pad is connected to the solder joint surface of the upper bridge arm chip 3, so that the height of the upper surface of the upper bridge arm chip 3 is equal to the height of the upper surface of the signal terminal 6. A second conductive pad is disposed between the connecting copper layer 21 of the second substrate and the lower bridge arm chip 4, so that the connecting copper layer 21 of the second substrate is connected to the bottom surface of the second conductive pad, and the top surface of the second conductive pad is connected to the solder joint surface of the lower bridge arm chip 4, so that the height of the upper surface of the lower bridge arm chip 4 is equal to the height of the lower surface of the signal terminal 6.

[0058] Specifically, the thickness of commonly used signal terminal components is greater than the thickness of chip components. Therefore, to compensate for this height difference, a first conductive pad can be placed between the connecting copper layer 11 of the first substrate and the upper bridge arm chip 3, and a second conductive pad can be placed between the connecting copper layer 21 of the second substrate and the lower bridge arm chip 4. This makes the height of the upper surface of the upper bridge arm chip 3 equal to the height of the upper surface of the signal terminal 6, and the height of the upper surface of the lower bridge arm chip 4 equal to the height of the lower surface of the signal terminal 6. It can be understood that the upper surface of the signal terminal 6 refers to the surface of the signal terminal 6 closest to the second substrate 2, and the lower surface of the signal terminal 6 refers to the surface of the signal terminal 6 closest to the first substrate 1.

[0059] Therefore, after the above components complete their respective connections, the spacing between the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2, the overall thickness of the upper bridge arm chip 3 and the first conductive pad, the overall thickness of the lower bridge arm chip 4 and the second conductive pad, the thickness of the signal terminal 6, and the thickness of the power terminal 5 will all be equal.

[0060] When the above components are connected by welding, a solder layer will be formed on the surface of any component that is connected to other components, so that the spacing between the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2, the overall thickness of the upper bridge arm chip 3 and its two sides of solder layer and the first conductive pad and its two sides of solder layer, the overall thickness of the lower bridge arm chip 4 and its two sides of solder layer and the first conductive pad and its two sides of solder layer, the thickness of the signal terminal 6 and its two sides of solder layer, and the thickness of the power terminal 5 and its two sides of solder layer are all equal.

[0061] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2 are mounted at a distance within the insulating housing 7 and overlap vertically, such that the connecting copper layer 11 of the first substrate and the connecting copper layer 21 of the second substrate are opposite to each other, and the outer copper layer 13 of the first substrate and the outer copper layer 23 of the second substrate are opposite to each other and are exposed outside the insulating housing 7. The signal terminal 6 and the power terminal 5 are exposed horizontally on both sides of the insulating housing 7.

[0062] Specifically, the insulating shell 7 can be made of epoxy resin material. The first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2 are spaced apart and installed in the insulating shell 7, forming a structure in which the insulating shell 7 wraps the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2. The insulating shell 7 can provide an insulating environment for the elements included therein, further improving the stability of the power semiconductor module in use. The outer copper layer 13 of the first substrate and the outer copper layer 23 of the second substrate are exposed outside the insulating shell 7. It can be understood that the top surface and the bottom surface of the insulating shell 7 are provided with a similar hollow structure and do not cover the outer copper layer 13 of the first substrate and the outer copper layer 23 of the second substrate. This allows the power semiconductor module to achieve a double-sided heat dissipation effect through the outer copper layer 13 of the first substrate and the outer copper layer 23 of the second substrate. Further, a heat dissipation device can be externally connected to the top surface and the bottom surface of the insulating shell 7. Since the outer copper layer 13 of the first substrate and the outer copper layer 23 of the second substrate are exposed outside the insulating shell 7, they can both be in contact with the heat dissipation device, thereby improving the double-sided heat dissipation efficiency of the power semiconductor module.

[0063] In an alternative embodiment, a positioning groove 71 is provided on one side of the insulating shell 7 close to the signal terminal 6, offset from the center line of the insulating shell 7.

[0064] It can be understood that, through the foregoing arrangement of the power semiconductor module, the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2 are similar in structure and are arranged opposite to each other in the insulating shell 7. When the power semiconductor module is flipped, it is difficult to quickly determine the direction of the power semiconductor, which may cause confusion about the specific functions of each signal terminal 6 and each power terminal 5, thereby negatively affecting the subsequent connection of a drive board or a capacitor or other devices. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a positioning groove 71 is provided on one side of the insulating shell 7 close to the signal terminal 6, offset from the center line of the insulating shell 7. Since the positioning groove 71 is offset from the center line of the insulating shell 7, the direction of the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2 can be determined according to the direction in which the positioning groove 71 is currently offset. For example, in the case where the positioning groove 71 is offset to the horizontal left side of the insulating shell 7, it can be determined that the direction of the current power semiconductor module is such that the second substrate 2 is located above the first substrate 1, and the positions of each signal terminal 6 and each power terminal 5 are determined according to the direction, thereby avoiding incorrect installation during application of the power semiconductor module. Figure 4

[0065] In an alternative embodiment, as shown in Figures 5-6 ​As shown, the connecting copper layer 11 of the first substrate includes a first main copper foil 111, a second main copper foil 112, and a third main copper foil 113 that are insulated from each other. The connecting copper layer 21 of the second substrate includes a fourth main copper foil 211, a fifth main copper foil 212, and a sixth main copper foil 213 that are insulated from each other. The first main copper foil 111 is connected to the solder joint surface of the upper bridge arm chip 3, the second main copper foil 112 is connected to the upper surface of the lower bridge arm chip 4, and the sixth main copper foil 213 is connected to both the solder joint surface of the lower bridge arm chip 4 and the upper surface of the upper bridge arm chip 3.

[0066] The power terminal 5 includes a DC positive terminal DC+, a DC negative terminal DC-, and an AC terminal AC. The DC positive terminal DC+ is connected to the first main copper foil 111 and the fourth main copper foil 211, the DC negative terminal DC- is connected to the second main copper foil 112 and the fifth main copper foil 212, and the AC terminal AC is connected to the third main copper foil 113 and the sixth main copper foil 213.

[0067] After the above setup, the commutation circuit current enters the first main copper foil 111 from the DC positive terminal DC+, flows through the solder joint surface of the upper bridge arm chip 3, and enters the sixth main copper foil 213 through the upper surface of the upper bridge arm chip 3. It then flows through the AC terminal AC and the solder joint surface of the lower bridge arm chip 4, and then enters the second main copper foil 112 through the upper surface of the lower bridge arm chip 4, and exits the power semiconductor module from the DC negative terminal DC-.

[0068] Preferably, such as Figures 5-6 As shown, the connecting copper layer 11 of the first substrate also includes a first auxiliary copper foil 1110, a second auxiliary copper foil 1120, a third auxiliary copper foil 1130, a fourth auxiliary copper foil 1140 and a fifth auxiliary copper foil 1150 that are insulated from each other. The third auxiliary copper foil 1130 and the fourth auxiliary copper foil 1140 are respectively connected to the upper surface of the lower bridge arm chip 4.

[0069] The connecting copper layer 21 of the second substrate also includes a sixth auxiliary copper foil 2110, a seventh auxiliary copper foil 2120, an eighth auxiliary copper foil 2130, a ninth auxiliary copper foil 2140 and a tenth auxiliary copper foil 2150 that are insulated from each other.
