Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power electronic device packaging and integration technology, specifically a silicon carbide bifacial power module suitable for multiple modules connected in parallel. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, wide-bandgap semiconductor devices, represented by silicon carbide, have developed rapidly, demonstrating excellent characteristics in high-frequency, high-temperature, and high-voltage applications. However, due to the limitations of current semiconductor packaging technology, the superior characteristics of silicon carbide cannot be fully utilized. Especially in emerging applications such as electric vehicles, photovoltaic power generation, and rail transportation, the increasingly higher power requirements present greater challenges to the development of new packaging technologies.
[0003] Furthermore, in the long-term high-temperature operation environment of electric vehicles, the heat dissipation capacity of the power module has become crucial. The introduction of double-sided heat dissipation modules, as a new type of packaging, replaces traditional bonding wire processes with planar interconnects, achieving double-sided cooling and significantly improving the heat dissipation performance and reliability of the power module. This represents a new packaging solution for electric vehicle applications. However, with the increasing current levels in electric vehicle applications, the current capacity of single-chip silicon carbide is limited, leading to the mainstream solution of multi-chip parallel connection or even multi-module parallel connection. For multi-chip or multi-module parallel connection scenarios, there is also the problem of dynamic current unevenness caused by differences in source parasitic inductance. Uneven current distribution leads to differences in losses between different chips, reducing the overall system reliability.
[0004] However, due to the difficulty of the three-dimensional structure and manufacturing process of bifacial modules, it is not suitable to connect too many silicon carbide power chips in parallel inside a single bifacial module. This would result in a longer internal commutation circuit and a severe current imbalance caused by the impedance mismatch between the branches of the parallel chips. Therefore, developing a bifacial module with balanced internal parallel chip current and suitable for multiple modules in parallel is the solution for increasing power levels in electric vehicle applications.
[0005] Against this backdrop, a double-sided silicon carbide module with two chips connected in parallel on one bridge arm can achieve complete symmetry by optimizing the power loop layout and integrating the drive circuit inside the module, which can greatly improve the current sharing of the internal chips. Furthermore, through advanced double-sided packaging technology, the heat dissipation performance and packaging parasitic parameters of the module can be improved, maximizing the excellent characteristics of silicon carbide chips. This is the most suitable design scheme for multiple double-sided modules connected in parallel. Summary of the Invention

[0023] This invention discloses a silicon carbide bifacial power module suitable for multi-module parallel connection, with reference to... Figure 1 , 23, 4.

The driving sources and driving gates of the two parallel upper bridge arm silicon carbide power chips 14 are respectively connected to the upper bridge arm driving negative terminal 6 and the upper bridge arm driving positive terminal 7. Integrated driving resistors 8 are provided at the copper-clad locations of the upper bridge arm driving sources and gates. In this embodiment, the upper bridge arm parallel silicon carbide power chip 14 is connected to the upper bridge arm DBC substrate 10 by welding or sintering. The gate and source of the upper bridge arm silicon carbide power chip 14 are connected to the copper layer of the upper bridge arm DBC substrate 10 by bonding wires. The gate copper layer and source copper layer of the upper bridge arm silicon carbide power chip 14 are connected to the positive and negative terminals of the gate of the upper bridge arm silicon carbide power chip 14 by integrated drive resistor 8. The upper bridge arm silicon carbide power chip 14 is connected to the copper layer of the upper bridge arm DBC substrate 10 by a sintering method of pressing silver under formic acid atmosphere.
[0025] The lower half-bridge arm is provided with a lower bridge arm drive negative terminal 5 and a lower bridge arm drive positive terminal 4, and a lower bridge arm metal pillar 13 is provided on the lower bridge arm DBC substrate 11. The drain of the lower bridge arm silicon carbide power chip 12 is connected to the AC power terminal 3 through the lower copper layer of the lower bridge arm DBC substrate 11. The power sources of the two parallel lower bridge arm silicon carbide power chips 12 are connected to the copper layer of the lower bridge arm DBC substrate 10 through the lower bridge arm metal pillar 13 and are connected to the power negative terminal 2. The drive sources and drive gates of the two parallel lower bridge arm silicon carbide power chips 12 are respectively connected to the lower bridge arm drive negative terminal 5 and the lower bridge arm drive positive terminal 4. Integrated drive resistors 8 are provided at the copper-clad areas of the lower bridge arm drive sources and gates. In this embodiment, the two parallel silicon carbide power chips 12 of the lower bridge arm are connected to the lower bridge arm DBC substrate 11 by welding or sintering. The gate and source of the lower bridge arm silicon carbide power chip 12 are connected to the copper layer of the lower bridge arm DBC substrate 11 by bonding wires. The gate copper layer and source copper layer of the lower bridge arm silicon carbide power chip 12 are connected to the positive and negative terminals of the gate of the lower bridge arm silicon carbide power chip 12 by integrated drive resistor 8. The lower bridge arm silicon carbide power chip 12 is connected to the copper layer of the lower bridge arm DBC substrate 11 by a sintering method of pressing silver under formic acid atmosphere.
[0026] To facilitate module testing, auxiliary terminal 9 serves as the equivalent drain or source of the upper bridge arm silicon carbide power chip 14 or the lower bridge arm silicon carbide power chip to reduce measurement errors.
[0027] A supporting metal pillar 16 is provided between the upper bridge arm DBC substrate 10 and the lower bridge arm DBC substrate 11. In this embodiment, the upper bridge arm metal pillar 15, the lower bridge arm metal pillar 13 and the supporting metal pillar 16 all adopt a Cu-Mo-Cu special stacked metal pillar structure.
[0028] refer to Figure 2 As shown, the upper bridge arm DBC substrate 10 and the lower bridge arm DBC substrate 11 have the same structure, both being three-layer structures. The upper and lower layers are gold-plated conductive copper layers, and the middle layer is an insulating ceramic layer. The ceramic layer of the DBC substrate used in this example is made of AlN with a thickness of 0.635mm. The copper layer is gold-plated to reduce the stress between the chip, terminals, and DBC and improve reliability, with a copper layer thickness of 0.3mm. The metal pillars are made of Cu-Mo-Cu material, which can also reduce the thermo-mechanical stress in the double-sided module. The chip and DBC are made of sintered silver material, which is more suitable for high-temperature working environments. To ensure high power density, the overall module size is designed to be 52mm×30mm×5.8mm (excluding the power terminals and drive terminals). At the same time, in order to adapt to more application scenarios, the design of this module also takes into account the compatibility of power terminal connections. Both terminal forms can achieve good parallel current sharing. The optimization of the internally integrated drive terminals and the parasitic inductance of the drive circuit can increase the gate-source stability and is also more conducive to applications after multiple modules are connected in parallel.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 The power terminal arrangement was optimized. The first method involves a power terminal consisting of a positive power terminal 1 and two negative power terminals 2, all located on the same side. This allows for complete structural symmetry between the two negative power terminals. (Refer to...) Figure 5 , 6 7. If, due to application limitations, two negative power terminals cannot be brought out, the second method can be used to adjust the relative positions between the positive and negative terminals and optimize the parasitic parameter distribution to achieve parallel current sharing. If only one positive power terminal and one negative power terminal are needed, the relative positions of the positive and negative power terminals can be adjusted, and parasitic parameters can be extracted and iteratively optimized through ANSYS Q3D simulation to achieve parallel current sharing of the two chips. The positive and negative power terminals can be adjusted as follows: Figure 6 , 7 The second power positive terminal 17 and the second power negative terminal 18.
[0030] This invention discloses a silicon carbide bifacial power module suitable for multi-module parallel connection, which has excellent characteristics such as small parasitic parameters, strong heat dissipation performance, high reliability, and good parallel current sharing characteristics. It is also very suitable for multi-module parallel application of bifacial modules in the field of electric vehicle applications. Its preparation process is as follows: The first step is to ultrasonically clean the prepared DBC substrate, fixture, terminals, and metal pillars. Then, using a pre-cut stencil, apply an appropriate amount of sintering silver paste to the chip location on the DBC substrate. The thickness of the stencil needs to be selected appropriately, and the sintering silver paste is preheated and cured at 150°C for 1 hour.
[0031] The second step involves fixing the chip in place using a pre-designed graphite fixture, and then performing pressure sintering in a vacuum sintering furnace using a pre-set sintering curve.
[0032] The third step is to take out the sintered chip, apply solder to the pre-cut stencil on the metal pillar positions, power terminal positions, drive terminal positions and integrated drive resistor positions on the DBC substrate, fix it with graphite clamps and place it in a vacuum welding furnace to complete the welding.
[0033] The fourth step is to remove the DBC substrate that has been soldered in the previous step, place it in an ultrasonic cleaning device to remove the residue, and then use an ultrasonic bonding machine to interconnect the gate and source on the power chip with the corresponding DBC copper layer.
[0034] Fifth, apply solder to the chip surface and the metal pillar connection of the DBC substrate again with a stencil, shape it with a graphite jig, and place it in a vacuum soldering machine to complete the soldering. Note that the solder selected in this step needs to be one temperature gradient lower than the solder in the third step.
[0035] The sixth step is to remove the welded double-sided module and clean it in an ultrasonic cleaning device in order to meet the higher insulation withstand voltage requirements. Then, silicone gel is used to fill it to achieve mechanical support and improve insulation strength.
[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the technical solution of the present invention in any way. Those skilled in the art should understand that, without departing from the spirit and principles of the present invention, the technical solution can be modified and replaced in several simple ways, and these modifications and replacements are all within the scope of protection covered by the claims.
