[0072] The front electrodes are the electrodes of the power chip 4 or the drive chip 5 that face the first surface of the package 1, and the back electrodes are the electrodes of the power chip 4 that face the second surface of the package 1. It can be understood that, based on the electrical connection relationship that needs to be established, some of the front electrodes and the back electrodes need to be led out to the pins, and some of the front electrodes and the back electrodes are used for internal connection. Therefore, the front electrodes or the back electrodes that need to be led out can be determined based on the actual chip arrangement needs.

[0081] Further, referring to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 The first heat dissipation plate 2 comprises a first metal layer 21 and a first insulating layer 22; the first metal layer 21 is arranged on the first side of the packaging body 1, and the first insulating layer 22 is arranged on the second side of the first metal layer 21; wherein:
[0082] The first insulating layer 22 is provided with a signal circuit and a first power circuit on the second side of the packaging body 1.
[0083] In the embodiment, the first heat dissipation plate 2 is composed of the first metal layer 21 and the first insulating layer 22.
[0084] The first metal layer 21 is made of metal, so it has good heat dissipation performance, and the specific type of metal can be set based on actual needs, such as aluminum or copper. It should be noted that at this time, the first metal layer 21 is part of the first side of the packaging body 1, which is exposed to the external environment, thereby improving the heat dissipation capacity.
[0085] It can be understood that the signal circuit and the first power circuit need to be arranged on the first heat dissipation plate 2, therefore, in order to realize the arrangement of the related circuit, the first insulating layer 22 is arranged on the first metal layer 21, so that the signal circuit and the first power circuit can be arranged on the first insulating layer 22; the first insulating layer 22 is made of insulating material, and the specific type of material can be set based on actual needs.
[0086] Further, a plurality of first pads 221 and a plurality of second pads 222 are arranged on the first insulating layer 22, the first pads 221 are arranged corresponding to the front electrodes of the drive chip 5 or the power chip 4, and the second pads 222 are arranged corresponding to the pins 6 of the lead frame 7; wherein:
[0087] The first conductive structure 223 is arranged in the first insulating layer 22 and connected with the first pads 221 and the second pads 222, and is arranged based on the connection relationship between the front electrodes of the drive chip 5 or the power chip 4 and the pins 6 of the lead frame 7, thereby constituting the signal circuit and the first power circuit.
[0088] Insulating material 224 is arranged between different pads.
[0089] It can be understood that the chip and the lead frame 7 need to be welded on the first heat sink 2; therefore, in the embodiment, pads are arranged for the positions of the chip and the pins 6 of the lead frame 7; specifically, the first pad 221 corresponds to the driving chip 5 or the power chip 4, and the second pad 222 corresponds to the pin 6 of the lead frame 7; meanwhile, the first conductive structure 223 is arranged between the pads based on the predetermined connection relationship between the front electrode of the chip and the pin 6 of the lead frame 7, so that after the driving chip 5, the power chip 4 and the lead frame 7 are welded on the first heat sink 2, the electrode of the driving chip 5, the front electrode of the power chip 4 and the pin 6 of the lead frame 7 achieve the predetermined connection relationship through the first conductive structure 223 based on the first conductive structure 223 arranged on the first heat sink 2.
[0090] Referring to Figures 4-10 When welding the chip, the lead frame 7 and the first heat sink 2, the fifth pad 11 can be arranged on the corresponding front electrode of the driving chip 5, and the solder ball 10 can be pre-welded in the fifth pad 11, so that the driving chip 5 can be flip-chip welded on the first insulating layer 22; for the power chip 4, flip-chip welding can be achieved by printing the tin paste on the corresponding first pad 221; for the lead frame 7, connection can be achieved by printing the second pad 222 on the first insulating layer 22 and the tin paste.
[0091] It can be understood that the first conductive structure 223 is composed of a conductor; when the first conductive structure 223 is arranged, the connection relationship between the electrodes or the pins 6 corresponding to any two pads is determined, and when the electrodes or the pins 6 corresponding to the two pads need to be connected based on the predetermined connection relationship, a communication path is arranged between the corresponding two pads through the conductor; meanwhile, the electrodes or the pins 6 without the predetermined connection relationship are independently insulated, so as to achieve the arrangement of the first conductive structure 223.
[0092] In order to further protect the electrodes or the pins 6 without the predetermined connection relationship to keep the insulation state, in the embodiment, the insulating material 224 is arranged between different pads to improve the insulation between the electrodes or the pins 6 or the first conductive structure 223 which need to be isolated.
[0093] Further, referring to Figures 11-13 The second heat sink 3 includes a ceramic layer 31, a first copper layer 32A and a second copper layer 32B; the first copper layer 32A is arranged on the second surface of the packaging body 1, the first surface of the ceramic layer 31 is arranged in close contact with the first copper layer 32A, and the second copper layer 32B is arranged on the second surface of the ceramic layer 31; wherein:
[0094] The second power circuit is arranged on the second copper layer 32B.
[0095] In the embodiment, the second heat dissipation plate 3 is composed of the ceramic layer 31, the first copper layer 32A and the second copper layer 32B, i.e. the second heat dissipation plate 3 is a ceramic copper clad plate; in other embodiments, the second copper layer 32B can also be arranged as an electrically conductive layer composed of other materials.
[0096] The material of the ceramic layer 31 is ceramic, thus having good heat dissipation performance; it should be noted that at this time, the first copper layer 32A as part of the second surface of the packaging body 1 is exposed to the external environment, thus improving the heat dissipation capacity.
[0097] It can be understood that ceramic, as an insulating material, can be used as the basis of circuit arrangement, thus in the embodiment, the second copper layer 32B is arranged on the ceramic layer 31, and the second power circuit is constructed by the second copper layer 32B; it can be understood that the second copper layer 32B is composed of copper, thus having electrically conductive capacity, which can meet the electrical connection needs between the backside electrode and the pin 6 of the lead frame 7.
[0098] Further, the second copper layer 32B has a plurality of copper pieces 321 arranged in mutual insulation; wherein:
[0099] The projections of the backside electrode and the backside pin 6 of the lead frame 7 on the second copper layer 32B, which have a predetermined connection relationship, are located on the same copper piece 321;
[0100] The backside electrode and the backside pin 6 of the lead frame 7, which have a predetermined connection relationship, have projections on the same copper piece 321.
[0101] The backside pin 6 is the pin 6 of the lead frame 7 that needs to establish an electrical connection relationship with the backside electrode.
[0102] It can be understood that the chip and the lead frame 7 need to be welded with the second heat dissipation plate 3, thus the projections of the backside electrode of the power chip 4 and the backside pin 6 of the lead frame 7 on the second copper layer 32B are the connection positions corresponding to the second copper layer 32B after welding; and the projections of the backside electrode and the backside pin 6 on the second copper layer 32B, which have a predetermined connection relationship, are located on the same copper piece 321, since the copper piece 321 has good electrical conductivity, thus after the chip and the lead frame 7 are welded, the backside electrode and the backside pin 6, which have a predetermined connection relationship, can realize electrical connection through the copper piece 321.
[0103] When the chip, the lead frame 7 and the second heat dissipation plate 3 are welded, the backside pin 6 can be connected through the tin paste printed on the second heat dissipation plate 3; and the backside pin 6 can be welded through solder.
[0104] And the projection of the back electrode of the same copper sheet 321 and the back pin 6 of the lead frame 7 has a predetermined connection relationship, so that after welding, the back electrode connected with the same copper sheet 321 and the back pin 6 need to be connected; At the same time, it is ensured that the back electrode and the back pin 6 without the predetermined connection relationship will be arranged on different copper sheets 321, thereby realizing mutual insulation.
[0105] It can be understood that the copper sheets 321 are arranged in insulation, so the back electrode and the back pin 6 connected with different copper sheets 321 do not have an electrical connection relationship.
[0106] Further, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 14 , Figure 15 , the second copper layer 32B and the back electrode are provided with a conductive overplating sheet 8; wherein:
[0107] The conductive overplating sheet 8 is arranged one-to-one with the back electrode, and the projection of the conductive overplating sheet 8 and the back electrode on the second copper layer 32B is the same.
[0108] It can be understood that the chip is welded with the first heat sink 2, and the first heat sink 2 is arranged on the first surface of the package 1, and the second heat sink 3 is arranged on the second surface of the package 1, so that there is a gap between the second copper layer 32B and the back electrode of the power chip 4, so that the copper sheet 321 and the back electrode of the power chip 4 cannot be directly welded; In order to realize the electrical connection between the copper sheet 321 and the back electrode, the conductive overplating sheet 8 is arranged in the embodiment; The conductive overplating sheet 8 can conduct electricity, so that the electrical connection between the copper sheet 321 and the back electrode can be realized through the conductive overplating sheet 8; The specific material of the conductive overplating sheet 8 can be set based on actual needs, such as molybdenum sheet.
[0109] In actual setting, the conductive overplating sheet 8 is welded with the back electrode through the tin solder 9, and the position of the corresponding copper sheet 321 is welded through the tin paste.
[0110] In order to ensure that the conductive overplating sheet 8 transmits electrical signals between the back electrode and the copper sheet 321, the projection of the conductive overplating sheet 8 on the second copper layer 32B is arranged to be the same as the back electrode, so that the conductive cross section is the same as the back electrode, and the conductive efficiency is ensured. In actual application, the projection of the conductive overplating sheet 8 on the second copper layer 32B can be set to contain the projection corresponding to the back electrode, or intersect with the projection corresponding to the back electrode.
[0111] Further, the lead frame 1 includes a plurality of back pins, and the back pin 6 has a predetermined connection relationship with the back electrode;
[0112] The reverse pin 6 and the corresponding copper sheet 321 corresponding to the corresponding reverse electrode are arranged in mutual adhesion.
[0113] It can be understood that the lead frame 7 is welded with the first heat sink 2, and the first heat sink 2 is arranged on the first surface of the package 1, and the second heat sink 3 is arranged on the second surface of the package 1, so that there is a gap between the second copper layer 32B and the reverse pin 6 of the lead frame 7, so that the copper sheet 321 and the reverse pin 6 cannot be directly welded; in order to realize the electrical connection between the copper sheet 321 and the reverse pin 6, the reverse pin 6 can be bent to make the reverse pin 6 connected with the copper sheet 321.
[0114] Further, participating Figures 16-18 , the second heat sink 3 includes a second metal layer 33 and a second insulating layer 34; the first surface of the second metal layer 33 is arranged in adhesion with the second surface of the package 1, and the second insulating layer 34 is arranged on the second surface of the second metal layer 33; wherein:
[0115] The second power circuit is arranged on the second insulating layer 34.
[0116] In this embodiment, the second heat sink 3 is composed of a second metal layer 33 and a second insulating layer 34.
