[0052] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 , a method for inverting the chip temperature of a high-voltage power module provided in the embodiment of the present application, includes:

[0054] Step 101: Construct a high-fidelity finite element model of the high-voltage power module to be inverted, and verify the correctness of the high-fidelity finite element model.

[0055] In one embodiment, constructing a high-fidelity finite element model of the high-voltage power module to be inverted is as follows:

[0056] Obtain the geometric dimensions of the high-voltage power module to be inverted and the material property parameters of each component of the high-voltage power module to be inverted. Among them, the geometric dimensions include: chip size, heat sink structure, welding layer thickness, and encapsulation material thickness; According to the geometric dimensions and material property parameters, use finite element analysis software to construct a high-fidelity finite element model of the high-voltage power module to be inverted.

[0057] It should be noted that when constructing the finite element model of the high-voltage power module, it is first necessary to accurately measure the geometric dimensions of the module. These dimensions include chip size, heat sink structure, welding layer thickness, encapsulation material thickness, etc. Using high-precision measurement equipment, such as a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) or a laser scanner, can ensure the accuracy of the geometric dimensions. In addition, in order to construct a high-fidelity model, it is necessary to obtain the material property parameters of each component of the high-voltage power module. This includes the thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, density, etc. of the chip material silicon, the thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient of the encapsulation materials (such as ceramics, copper), and the thermal conductivity and shear modulus of the welding material. These parameters can be obtained through literature search, data provided by manufacturers, or through experimental tests. After obtaining the geometric dimensions and material parameters, use finite element analysis software (COMSOL Multiphysics) to establish a high-fidelity finite element model. The geometric shape and material properties of each component need to be considered in the model, and appropriate boundary conditions need to be applied, including the current rating and the heat sink temperature. In this application, a commercial high-voltage power module (FF150R12ME3G) is taken as an example. The dimensions and materials of this module are obtained through the data sheet. The high-fidelity model is obtained by drawing through finite element analysis software as Figure 2 shown.

[0058] In one embodiment, the correctness of the high-fidelity finite element model is verified as follows:

[0059] Use network elements of different sizes to respectively divide the chip, ceramic, and copper substrate in the high-fidelity finite element model; The average temperature and maximum temperature on the chip surface obtained by testing with an infrared camera and the finite element simulation calculation results are used to verify the correctness of the high-fidelity finite element model.

[0060] It should be noted that before analyzing the high-fidelity model of the high-voltage power module, it needs to be meshed. The finite element method requires dividing the model into elements with simple geometric shapes. Reasonable mesh division is beneficial to improving the accuracy and convergence of the results. Since the chip size is relatively small compared to other components and has a great influence on the calculation results, smaller mesh elements are used for sweeping, and the maximum element size is set to 0.5 mm. The thermal conductivities of the ceramic and copper substrates are relatively large, and their temperature distributions are relatively uniform. Therefore, larger mesh elements can be used for division. After meshing, there are a total of 807,656 mesh elements and 199,540 vertices. The meshing results of the finite element simulation model of the high-voltage power module are as Figure 3 shown.

[0061] To verify the accuracy of the high-fidelity model, the average temperature and maximum temperature of the chip surface obtained by testing with an infrared camera in this application and the results of finite element simulation calculations are listed in Table 1. The error between the average temperature of the surfaces of the three parallel chips at the lower tube obtained by finite element calculation and the measured value is less than 0.5 °C; the maximum deviation between the calculated results of the maximum temperature of the surfaces of the three parallel chips and the measured value is 1.7 °C. The bonding wires on the chip surface affect the measured surface maximum temperature result. The surface temperature measured by the infrared camera is affected by the spraying effect of the heat-reflecting black paint. The surface temperature measured by the infrared camera is as Figure 4 shown. Therefore, it is considered that under the heat sink and heat dissipation conditions used in this application, the high-fidelity model of the high-voltage power module is accurate and reasonable.

[0062] Table 1 Comparison of chip surface temperatures

[0063]

[0064] Step 102: Based on the high-fidelity finite element model that has passed the correctness verification, and according to the preset boundary conditions, perform simulations to obtain the chip temperature and the case temperature for constructing a data set. Among them, the preset boundary conditions include: different current levels and different heat sink temperatures.

[0065] It should be noted that since a large amount of data is required to train a neural network to obtain its non-linear mapping function. Therefore, common working current levels and heat sink temperatures of the high-voltage power module are selected, and a data set is constructed under these conditions.

[0066] In this application, the working current levels are selected as 25A, 50A, 75A, 100A, 125A, and 150A, and the radiator temperatures are 0°C, 5°C, 10°C, 15°C, 20°C, 25°C, and 30°C. With the combination of these two working conditions, a total of 36 groups of working condition simulation results are obtained. Since the transient temperature rise curve is simulated, each group of working condition simulation results can be resampled to obtain M groups, and the value of M can be determined according to the size of the transient temperature rise time. In this application, M is selected as 8000, that is, each group of working conditions can obtain 8000 groups of training data. Thus, a total of 36×8000 = 288000 groups of training data can be obtained finally. Select the simulation results with a current of 50A and a radiator temperature of 25°C, as Figure 5 shown.

[0067] To facilitate finding the non-linear mapping relationship, 12 substrate positions corresponding to the high-voltage power module chips are selected as measurable points, and a structure that maps 12 measurable points to 12 chip temperatures is constructed, that is, a one-dimensional array of 24 bits. The first 12 bits represent the temperatures of the measurable points, and the last 12 bits represent the chip temperatures.

[0068] Step 103: Build a multi-input multi-output deep neural network, and train the multi-input multi-output deep neural network with the preprocessed data set to obtain a deep neural network for characterizing the non-linear mapping relationship between the temperatures of the measurable points and the chip temperatures.

[0069] In one embodiment, building a multi-input multi-output deep neural network is as follows:

[0070] Adopt a multi-layer perceptron structure as the network structure to build a multi-input multi-output deep neural network. Among them, the network input includes: several temperatures of the measurable points, and the network output includes several chip temperatures.

[0071] It should be noted that a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) deep neural network is designed. The network input includes 12 temperatures of the measurable points, and the network output is 12 chip temperatures. The network structure adopts a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) structure, as Figure 6 shown.

[0072] Then, preprocess the simulation data, including normalization, denoising, etc. Normalization can make the data on the same scale, which is convenient for the training of the neural network; denoising can improve the quality and training effect of the data. Use the preprocessed simulation data set to train the deep neural network. During the training process, the cross-validation method can be adopted to prevent overfitting. Select an appropriate loss function (such as mean square error MSE) and optimization algorithm (such as Adam), and adjust the network parameters to ensure that the network converges to the optimal solution. The loss function values during the training process are as Figure 7 shown. After the training is completed, a deep neural network that can characterize the non-linear mapping relationship is obtained.

[0073] Step 104: After building a two-level inverter with a high-voltage power module and setting the control algorithm and working parameters, control the load current by adjusting the load resistance, and at the same time perform detection to obtain several sets of sample experimental data sets of chip temperature and case temperature.

[0074] It should be noted that a two-level inverter is built using a high-voltage power module of model FF150R12ME3G, as Figure 8 shown. The inverter adopts a sine pulse width modulation control algorithm, the DC voltage Udc is 200V, the control switching frequency fsw is 4kHz, the carrier frequency f0 is 1Hz, and the load inductance L is 5mH. The silicone of the high-voltage power module needs to be removed to measure the chip temperature, and the module cannot work under high voltage, so the DC voltage is maintained at 200V. Control the load current by adjusting the load resistance. The load resistance R selected in this application is 0.25Ω, and the modulated load current is as Figure 9 shown, which can make the maximum current reach about 80A.

[0075] 100 sets of experimental data are obtained by measurement using sensors and infrared thermometers to construct a small sample data set for the experiment.

[0076] Step 105: Based on the transfer learning theory, use the sample experimental data set to fine-tune the parameters of the pre-trained deep neural network, so as to correct the non-linear relationship and obtain the final deep neural network for inverting the chip temperature of the high-voltage power module.

[0077] It should be noted that transfer learning is a machine learning method that transfers the knowledge of a pre-trained model to a new task. For this project, the deep neural network model trained on simulation data can be used, and fine-tuned through a small amount of experimental data to improve the prediction accuracy of the model under actual working conditions. Load the deep neural network model trained on simulation data and freeze some parameters (weights of the first few layers), and only fine-tune the last few layers, as Figure 10 shown.

[0078] In this way, the basic structure and most of the knowledge of the model can be retained, and at the same time, the model can be adaptively adjusted through small sample experimental data. Fine-tune and train the deep neural network using small sample experimental data. Select appropriate learning rates and training strategies to ensure the convergence of the model on small sample data. Through the feedback of experimental data, gradually adjust the model parameters to improve the accuracy of chip temperature inversion. In this application, the chip inversion error can be reduced from 7.5% to 2.5%, as Figure 11 shown, with remarkable effects.

[0079] A method for inverting the chip temperature of a high-voltage power module provided by this application first constructs a high-fidelity finite element model of the high-voltage power module, conducts simulations under boundary conditions such as different current levels and different radiator temperatures to obtain the chip temperature and the case temperature, and constructs a data set based on the obtained simulation data. Then, a multi-input multi-output deep neural network is built, and the non-linear mapping relationship between the measurable point temperature and the chip temperature is obtained through training with the simulation data set. Finally, an experiment is carried out to obtain a small-sample experimental data set of the chip temperature and the case temperature under actual working conditions, and the trained deep neural network is fine-tuned using the small-sample experimental data set to correct the non-linear relationship and improve the accuracy of chip temperature inversion.
