A model of a double-sided boss is modeled using simulation software, and the corresponding thermal conduction physical parameters are assigned. The size of the first layer 1-1 for mounting power chips is fixed. It is only necessary to adjust the size of the third layer 1-3 of the thermal management subunit 1 to perform heat transfer simulation to obtain the minimum minimum size of the back step; the third layer 1-3 is the output surface of the thermal channel, and a stable temperature can be achieved by auxiliary heat dissipation.

The driving circuit subunit is sintered with tin-silver-copper solder, and the driving circuit subunit is connected to the ceramic shell by brazing with lead-tin solder to form multiple temperature gradients, so as to ensure that no remelting occurs during the device assembly process and to ensure the reliability of the device. In the present invention, subunits with multiple functions are integrated and interconnected in a package body through a ceramic shell to realize a package module with richer functions. The present invention distinguishes the thermal management and driving parts into units. The thermal management subunit is responsible for the heat dissipation of the power chip and part of the electrical connection function, while the driving circuit subunit performs switch control on the power chip to realize the predetermined function. The thermal management subunit dissipates heat through the channel at the bottom of the shell. Due to the low heat dissipation requirements, the driving circuit subunit is integrated inside the tube shell to realize the switch control of the power chip and input and output the corresponding electrical signals. The shell structure in the present invention reduces the mounting area on the board by optimizing the structure, so that the residual stress on the board during subsequent use is reduced, and the reliability of the package is improved.

The material of the sealing cover plate 5 includes but is not limited to Kovar alloy 4J42, and the shell is hermetically sealed by parallel seam welding. And it is ensured that the solder of each subunit does not remelt during the subsequent capping process.

The drive circuit subunit is structurally and electrically connected to the metal column of the ceramic shell to achieve electrical connection with the power chip and low on-resistance and parasitic inductance. The interconnected metal columns achieve foolproofing through step-shaped design and prescribed distribution. The thickening structure is designed at the center of the sealing cover plate to enhance the strength and positioning of the cover plate. The structural design of the double-sided boss can reduce the mounting area of the thermal management subunit on the board, reduce the structural stress during board-level installation, and improve reliability.
