Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of power semiconductors, in particular to a layout structure of a power semiconductor module and a power semiconductor module. BACKGROUND

[0002] In modern power systems, the application scenarios of power semiconductors are very wide and complex, which requires the functions of power semiconductors to be more and more integrated, and therefore the demand for the power density of power semiconductors is also increasing. However, in the design of traditional power semiconductor modules, such as insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT) or all silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductor modules, the AC power terminals usually share the same metal layer with the lower bridge arm to realize current flow. However, this design has obvious limitations in the face of high power density requirements.

[0003] Specifically, because the AC power terminals share the metal layer with the lower bridge arm inside the traditional power semiconductor module, the space utilization efficiency inside the module is low, which limits the layout flexibility of the terminals and the current outflow path of the terminals, thereby affecting the overall heat dissipation performance and electrical characteristics of the power semiconductor module. In addition, this layout method also makes the current outflow position of the terminals not flexible, which makes it difficult for the power semiconductor module to increase the KS (Kelvin-Source) signal terminal for improving current accuracy, thereby limiting the improvement of the overall efficiency of the power module.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by the persons skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present application.

Without more limitations, the element defined by the statement “including a…” does not exclude the presence of another identical element in the process, method, article or equipment including the element.

[0033] Figure 1 A schematic diagram showing a conventional power semiconductor module is shown as follows: Figure 1As shown in the design of a conventional power semiconductor module, such as an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) or a full silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductor module, the AC power terminal AC is usually shared with the lower arm chip to realize current flow through the same metal layer. Obviously, this design leaves less layout position for the signal terminal, thereby limiting the layout flexibility of the terminal and the current outflow path of the terminal, thereby affecting the overall heat dissipation performance and electrical characteristics of the power semiconductor module. In addition, this layout method also leads to inflexible current outflow position of the terminal, thereby making it difficult for the conventional power semiconductor module to increase the KS (Kelvin-Source) signal terminal for improving current accuracy, thereby limiting the improvement of the overall efficiency of the power module. Especially in the face of miniaturized packaging, the internal layout space of the conventional power semiconductor module is further compressed, making the internal space utilization rate even lower. Therefore, how to break through these limitations through innovative internal layout design without sacrificing reliability has become one of the key problems to be solved in the current power semiconductor industry.
