Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electric vehicles, and in particular to a packaging structure of a power module, an electric drive system, and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] With the development of electric vehicles, they are trending towards higher voltages, currently reaching 800V to 1000V. This move towards higher voltages is primarily aimed at enabling high-voltage fast charging and shortening charging times. However, high-voltage 800V systems typically require power modules with a withstand voltage of 1200V. Traditional silicon-based IGBTs generally have a withstand voltage of 750V. When this voltage is increased to 1200V, switching losses become extremely high, significantly reducing system efficiency. Consequently, silicon carbide IGBTs are currently widely used, but these cost more than three times as much as traditional silicon-based IGBTs. Furthermore, the rapid switching of high voltage and high current can also introduce significant voltage and current surges, impacting device reliability and significantly reducing the device's electromagnetic compatibility and NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) performance.

[0042] In one embodiment, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the present application provides a power module packaging structure, including at least one full-bridge arm 100, a plurality of metal terminals 200, and a first copper-clad substrate 300, a heat dissipation substrate 500, and a second copper-clad substrate 400 stacked in sequence. The first copper-clad substrate 300 and the second copper-clad substrate 400 can be connected to the heat dissipation substrate 500 via solder layers.

[0043] The plurality of metal terminals 200 include a positive terminal 210, a negative terminal 230, a midpoint terminal 220, and an output terminal 240. The positive terminal 210 is located on the side of the first copper-clad substrate 300 away from the heat dissipation substrate 500, the negative terminal 230 is located on the side of the second copper-clad substrate 400 away from the heat dissipation substrate 500, and the midpoint terminal 220 and the output terminal 240 extend from the first copper-clad substrate 300 to the second copper-clad substrate 400, respectively. The positive terminal 210, the negative terminal 230, the midpoint terminal 220, and the output terminal 240 can be formed as laminated busbars.

[0044] The full-bridge arm 100 includes an upper bridge arm 110 and a lower bridge arm 120. The upper bridge arm 110 is located on the side of the first copper-clad substrate 300 away from the heat dissipation substrate 500, and is respectively connected to the positive terminal 210, the midpoint terminal 220 and the output terminal 240. The lower bridge arm 120 is located on the side of the second copper-clad substrate 400 away from the heat dissipation substrate 500, and is respectively connected to the negative terminal 230, the midpoint terminal 220 and the output terminal 240.

[0045] It can be understood that the positive terminal 210 and the upper bridge arm 110 are arranged on the first copper-clad substrate 300, the negative terminal 230 and the lower bridge arm 120 are arranged on the second copper-clad substrate 400, and the upper bridge arm 110 and the lower bridge arm 120 share the midpoint terminal 220 and the output terminal 240. The positive terminal 210 is used to connect to the positive pole of the power supply, the negative terminal 230 is used to connect to the negative pole of the power supply, and the midpoint terminal 220, after connecting to the full-bridge arm 100, serves as the midpoint of the voltage level. During the application of this power module, each voltage level change is first converted from positive or negative to the midpoint potential, which can obtain a better output waveform and improve electromagnetic interference.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present application, the packaging structure of the power module includes at least one full-bridge arm 100, a plurality of metal terminals 200, and a first copper-clad substrate 300, a heat dissipation substrate 500, and a second copper-clad substrate 400 stacked in sequence. The full-bridge arm 100 includes an upper bridge arm 110 and a lower bridge arm 120. The upper bridge arm 110 is located on the side of the first copper-clad substrate 300 away from the heat dissipation substrate 500, and the lower bridge arm 120 is located on the side of the second copper-clad substrate 400 away from the heat dissipation substrate 500. That is, the power module is arranged in layers, and from top to bottom, the lower bridge arm 120, the second copper-clad substrate 400, the heat dissipation substrate 500, the first copper-clad substrate 300, and the upper bridge arm 110 are arranged in sequence. This layered arrangement can reduce the area occupied by the power module and enable the installation of a three-level power module in the limited layout space of an electric vehicle. In addition, the multiple metal terminals 200 include a positive terminal 210, a negative terminal 230, a midpoint terminal 220 and an output terminal 240, wherein the positive terminal 210 is located on the side of the first copper-clad substrate 300 away from the heat dissipation substrate 500, the negative terminal 230 is located on the side of the second copper-clad substrate 400 away from the heat dissipation substrate 500, and the midpoint terminal 220 and the output terminal 240 extend from the first copper-clad substrate 300 to the second copper-clad substrate 400 respectively. This can reduce the loop area surrounded by the DC bus connected to the metal terminals, thereby reducing stray parameters.

[0047] In one embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the upper bridge arm 110 includes a first reverse-conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor 111, a second reverse-conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor 112, and a first diode 113. The drain of the second reverse-conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor 112 is connected to the source of the first reverse-conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor, the cathode of the first diode 113, and the output terminal 240, respectively. The drain of the first reverse-conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor is connected to the positive terminal 210, and the anode of the first diode 113 is connected to the midpoint terminal 220.

[0048] In the process of packaging, a reverse-conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor (RC-IGBT) is used. The RC-IGBT packages the IGBT and the diode together, which can reduce the chip size. The IGBT chip and the freewheeling diode chip mainly include a terminal region and a cell region. When the two devices are combined into one chip, the terminal regions can be shared, so the area of the terminal region can be reduced. Generally, the area ratio of the IGBT to the freewheeling diode in a traditional module is about 2:1. The RC-IGBT can save about 1 / 3 of the total chip area while maintaining the basic consistency of the area of the traditional IGBT chip (slightly increased). At the same time, the number of chips is reduced, and the cost of welding chips and binding wires is also saved, which can greatly reduce the chip production cost and packaging test cost.

[0049] Further, as shown in Figure 5 The first copper-clad substrate 300 is also provided with a first copper-clad region 610, a second copper-clad region 620, a third copper-clad region 630, and a fourth copper-clad region 640 on the side away from the heat dissipation substrate 500.

The anode of the first diode 113 is connected to the second copper region 620 via a bonding wire, and is then electrically connected to the drain of the second reverse-conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor 112 via the second copper region 620.

[0052] In one embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the lower bridge arm 120 includes a third reverse conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor, a fourth reverse conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor, and a second diode 123. The source of the third reverse conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor is connected to the drain of the fourth reverse conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor, the anode of the second diode 123, and the output terminal 240, respectively.
