Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor packaging, and in particular relates to a rotary pressurized power diode module packaging structure. Background Art

[0002] Power diode modules are the basic core components of electric energy conversion equipment. Compared with traditional welded packaged power diodes, press-fit packaged power diodes are more widely used in high-power occasions due to their advantages such as double-sided heat dissipation, high power density, low parasitic parameters, and failure short circuit. As power electronic equipment develops towards miniaturization and sustainability, the large space occupied by the supporting fixtures required for the use of press-fit packaged power diodes has become the main difficulty restricting its development towards miniaturization. In addition, press-fit packaged power diodes use a closed package. Even if only one sub-module inside fails, the entire module will be scrapped, which has become a key problem in its development towards sustainability. Therefore, it is of great significance to achieve miniaturization and sustainability of press-fit packaged power diode modules.

[0003] At present, there are two mainstream structures of crimping packaging structure: rigid crimping packaging and elastic crimping packaging. Among them, the rigid crimping packaging module needs to be fixed by a large special clamp during use, so it is usually used in equipment with sufficient space such as flexible DC transmission converter valves and circuit breakers. In addition, due to factors such as module layout and fixture design, there is a common problem of uneven pressure distribution of submodules in rigid crimping packaging modules, and some submodules are prone to overstress, resulting in premature failure of the entire module. The elastic crimping packaging structure effectively solves the problem of uneven pressure distribution inside the submodule by adopting a disc spring design inside each submodule, but the introduction of the disc spring structure also leads to worse heat dissipation on the disc spring side of the chip, and there is a risk of disc spring failure after long-term stress cycles. In addition, the existing crimping packaging modules generally adopt closed packaging, and the end cover is difficult to open without loss in later maintenance. Even if only a submodule inside the module fails, the entire module will be scrapped due to the difficulty in maintenance, and the sustainable application capability is poor.

[0004] In summary, the existing rigid crimping packaging structure has problems such as large space occupation and poor uniformity of internal pressure distribution, and the existing elastic crimping packaging structure has shortcomings such as poor heat dissipation capacity and disc spring failure. In addition, the two adopt closed packaging, which makes it difficult to carry out later maintenance operations and has poor sustainable application capabilities. Therefore, inventing a packaging structure with uniform pressure distribution, strong heat dissipation capacity, and convenient replacement of failed sub-modules is of great significance to the development of crimping packaging power diode modules in the direction of miniaturization and sustainability. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to promote the miniaturization of the press-fit packaged power diode module and effectively improve the sustainable application of the module, so as to solve the problems of the existing packaging structure such as the difficulty in balancing the space utilization and heat dissipation capacity and the poor sustainable application capacity.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is:

[0008] The upper end and the lower end of the inner wall of the insulating material sleeve 11 are respectively provided with a first internal thread 10 and a second internal thread 12, the outer wall of the negative metal disc 5 is provided with a first external thread 6, and the outer wall of the positive metal component 13 is provided with a second external thread 14; the first internal thread 10 and the first external thread 6 match each other so that the negative metal disc 5 and the insulating material sleeve 11 are fastened together by rotation; the second internal thread 12 and the second external thread 14 match each other so that the positive metal component 13 and the insulating material sleeve 11 are fastened together by rotation;

[0009] The middle part of the inner wall of the insulating material sleeve 11 does not have a part with an internal thread structure. After the negative metal disc 5 and the positive metal component 13 are fastened to the insulating material sleeve 11, a cavity is formed in the middle part of the insulating material sleeve 11. The negative metal gasket 7, the power diode chip 8 and the positive metal gasket 9 are stacked in the cavity in order from top to bottom, and the upper surface of the negative metal gasket 7 contacts the lower surface of the negative metal disc 5, and the lower surface of the positive metal gasket 9 contacts the upper surface of the positive metal component 13;

[0010] The plastic-sealed shell 3 is sleeved on the outer wall of the negative electrode metal disc 5;

[0011] The upper surface of the negative electrode metal disc 5 has a first groove 4, and the lower surface of the negative electrode radiator 2 has a first protruding structure 1. The first protruding structure 1 and the first groove 4 match each other. After the first protruding structure 1 is embedded in the first groove 4, the negative electrode radiator 2 can lock the negative electrode metal disc 5.

[0012] The lower surface of the positive metal component 13 has a second groove 15, and the upper surface of the positive heat sink 17 has a second protruding structure 16. The second protruding structure 16 and the second groove 15 match each other. After the second protruding structure 16 is embedded in the second groove 15, the positive heat sink 17 can lock the positive metal component 13.

[0013] Furthermore, the size of the negative electrode metal gasket 7 is the same as the size of the power diode chip 8 .

[0014] Furthermore, the size of the positive electrode metal gasket 9 is smaller than the size of the power diode chip 8 .

[0015] Furthermore, the four corners of the negative electrode metal gasket 7, the power diode chip 8 and the positive electrode metal gasket 9 are designed with rounded corners.

[0016] The purpose of the above solution is to ensure that the negative electrode of the power diode chip 8 is evenly stressed after pressurization, and to effectively avoid the stress concentration problem in the corner contact area between the power diode chip 8 and the metal gasket 9.

[0017] Furthermore, the cross-sectional top view of the first groove 4 and the second groove 15 is one of a straight line shape, a cross shape, a star shape and a polygon shape.

[0018] Based on the above-mentioned single-chip module packaging structure, the present invention proposes a rotary pressurized power diode multi-chip module packaging structure, by arranging the negative metal discs of multiple single-chip module packaging structures in the same plastic packaging shell, and merging the negative heat sink and the positive heat sink into a common negative heat sink and positive heat sink, thereby realizing a multi-chip module packaging structure.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0020] 1) The packaging structure designed in the present invention does not need to be equipped with special fixtures required by existing rigid compression packaging modules in applications, thereby effectively reducing the space occupied by the module and realizing module miniaturization.

[0021] 2) The packaging structure designed in the present invention can ensure consistent pressure loading of each submodule by designing the number of rotations and cooperating with an anti-loosening structure, thereby achieving uniform pressure distribution of each submodule.

[0022] 3) The packaging structure designed in the present invention can achieve double-sided heat dissipation, reduce the module shell thermal resistance, and effectively improve the long-term reliability of the packaging structure.

[0023] 4) The packaging structure designed in the present invention can replace the failed diode chip by opening the negative metal disc, which can realize convenient replacement of the failed chip and effectively realize the sustainable application of the module. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0038] In the packaging structure, the submodule positive metal gasket 27, the power diode chip 26, and the submodule negative metal gasket 25 are stacked in sequence from bottom to top in the submodule insulating material sleeve 30;
