Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of chip packaging, and in particular to an IGBT chip heat dissipation packaging module and a packaging method. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) have been widely used in high-power, high-frequency industrial applications such as electric vehicles, renewable energy generation systems, industrial motor drives, and power transmission and distribution systems. These applications place stringent demands on IGBT chips for high current, high voltage, and high-speed switching, resulting in significant heat generation during chip operation. Failure to dissipate heat promptly and effectively can severely impact chip performance and reliability, potentially leading to reduced efficiency, unstable operation, and even thermal failure. Therefore, improving the heat dissipation capabilities of IGBT chips to ensure stable operation under high power density and high frequency conditions has become a key focus in the industry.

[0003] In existing chip heat dissipation integration technologies, heat sinks are usually attached to the back of the chip, high thermal conductivity interface materials are used, or the chip is encapsulated on a substrate with heat dissipation function to assist in the conduction and dissipation of heat. However, these traditional heat dissipation methods have certain limitations. For example, the thermal conductivity efficiency of heat sinks and thermal conductive interface materials is limited, and they cannot meet the rapid heat dissipation requirements of high-power IGBT chips. Although encapsulating the chip on a heat dissipation substrate improves the heat dissipation capacity to a certain extent, the heat needs to be transferred through multiple layers of interfaces, resulting in large thermal resistance and poor heat dissipation effect. In addition, existing integration technologies make it difficult to achieve a refined heat dissipation channel layout inside the chip, and it is impossible to effectively control the heat density in different areas of the chip. These shortcomings lead to heat accumulation inside the chip, forming hot spots, which seriously affect the working stability and life of the IGBT chip, and limit its development in higher power and higher frequency applications.

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to improve the chip heat dissipation integration technology in the existing technology to solve the problem that it cannot meet the high heat dissipation performance requirements of the chip. Summary of the Invention

[0062] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0063] Example 1:

[0064] Combine Figures 1 to 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a packaging method for an IGBT chip heat dissipation packaging module, comprising:

[0065] S1, cleaning and pre-treating the back side of the IGBT chip, and etching a pre-designed microchannel network on the back side of the IGBT chip substrate using etching technology;

[0066] Thorough cleaning and pretreatment of the backside of the IGBT chip are crucial. This cleaning process removes organic contaminants, particulate matter, and oxide layers, ensuring the effectiveness of subsequent processes. Subsequently, precise etching techniques (such as deep reactive ion etching (DRIE)) are used to create a pre-designed microchannel network on the backside of the chip substrate. This microchannel network enhances the chip's heat dissipation capabilities, enabling rapid and efficient heat dissipation during high-power operation, improving chip performance and reliability.

[0067] S2, depositing a graphene film on the inner wall of the microchannel network using a chemical vapor deposition method to form a heat conduction channel;

[0068] Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is used to deposit a high-quality graphene film on the inner walls of the microchannel network. Graphene has extremely high thermal conductivity, significantly improving heat transfer within the microchannels. By depositing the graphene film on the inner walls of the microchannels, an efficient heat conduction channel is formed, allowing heat generated by the chip to be quickly transferred to the cooling medium. This process requires precise control of CVD process parameters such as temperature, gas flow rate, and deposition time to ensure the uniformity and thermal conductivity of the graphene film. Furthermore, the deposition of the graphene film must be closely aligned with the microchannel structure to ensure the continuity and effectiveness of the heat conduction channel.

[0069] S3, manufacturing a microfluidic dispenser that matches the microchannel network, and connecting the microfluidic dispenser to the microchannel network on the back of the chip through alignment and bonding technology to form a complete coolant circulation channel; the microfluidic dispenser has an inlet and an outlet for the coolant;

[0070] Design and manufacture a microfluidic dispenser that matches the microchannel network on the back of the IGBT chip. The microfluidic dispenser needs to have an inlet and outlet for the coolant, as well as an internal microchannel structure to guide the coolant to circulate in the microchannel network. Use computer design software to draw a three-dimensional model of the microfluidic dispenser to ensure that it accurately corresponds to the size and position of the chip microchannels. Then, use precision machining technology to manufacture the microfluidic dispenser. In a clean environment, use a high-precision alignment device to accurately align the microfluidic dispenser with the microchannel network on the back of the chip. Use reliable bonding technology (such as anodic bonding or adhesive bonding) to firmly connect the two together to form a closed coolant circulation channel. The successful implementation of this step ensures that the coolant can effectively enter the microchannel network and remove the heat generated by the chip during operation.

[0071] S4, fixing the IGBT chip on a circuit substrate using a conductive adhesive material on the front surface of the IGBT chip, and interconnecting the electrodes of the IGBT chip with the circuit on the circuit substrate using a laser cladding technique;

[0072] Mounting the IGBT chip on the circuit substrate is a critical step. First, a conductive adhesive (such as silver-containing conductive glue) is applied to the front of the chip and the corresponding position on the circuit substrate to ensure mechanical fixation and reliable electrical connection. The chip is then accurately mounted on the circuit substrate, and the conductive adhesive is cured through processes such as heat pressing to form a secure connection. Subsequently, laser cladding technology is used to interconnect the IGBT chip's electrodes with the circuitry on the circuit substrate. Laser cladding technology offers high precision and a low heat-affected zone, resulting in a low-resistance, highly reliable electrical connection.

[0073] S5, packaging the IGBT chip and the microfluidic dispenser using a packaging material to obtain an IGBT integrated module.

[0074] The assembled IGBT chip and microfluidic dispenser are encapsulated as a whole. The encapsulation material is typically selected from a material with excellent insulation, thermal conductivity, and mechanical protection (such as epoxy resin or a specially formulated encapsulant). The encapsulation process must be performed in a clean environment to ensure that no impurities or bubbles are introduced into the encapsulation material. The purpose of the encapsulation is to protect the chip and microfluidic dispenser from external environmental influences such as humidity, dust, and mechanical stress, while also providing additional mechanical strength and a heat dissipation path.

[0075] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: first, the back of the IGBT chip is cleaned and pre-treated, and then a pre-designed microchannel network is etched on the back of the chip substrate using etching technology. A high-thermal-conductivity graphene film is deposited on the inner wall of the microchannel network using chemical vapor deposition to form an efficient heat conduction channel, thereby enhancing the thermal conductivity of the microchannel; a microfluidic distributor matching the microchannel network is manufactured, and the microfluidic distributor is connected to the microchannel network on the back of the chip through alignment and bonding technology to form a complete coolant circulation channel. The microfluidic distributor has a coolant inlet and outlet to ensure that the coolant can circulate effectively; in the IGBT core The front side of the chip is fixed to the circuit substrate using conductive adhesive material, and the electrodes of the IGBT chip are interconnected with the circuit on the circuit substrate using laser cladding technology, thereby achieving high reliability of the electrical connection; the IGBT chip and the microfluidic dispenser are packaged using packaging materials, and finally an IGBT integrated module with good heat dissipation performance and mechanical strength is obtained; this method innovatively integrates the microfluidic heat dissipation system and the efficient heat conduction channel based on the structural characteristics of the IGBT chip, significantly improving the heat dissipation effect and working stability of the IGBT chip, extending the service life of the chip, and is suitable for high-power, high-frequency industrial applications.

[0076] In this embodiment, it is specifically explained that step S1 specifically includes:

[0077] S11, placing the back side of the IGBT chip in an ultrasonic cleaning device, and performing multi-stage cleaning using acetone, anhydrous ethanol, and deionized water in sequence, with each cleaning time being 5 minutes, and then drying the IGBT chip;

[0078] Cleaning is performed to remove organic pollutants, particulate matter, and oxide layers on the back of the chip. After cleaning, the chip is placed in a clean, dry environment and dried in an oven at 100°C for 10 minutes to ensure that no moisture remains on the surface.

[0079] S12, plasma surface treatment technology is used to activate the back side of the dried IGBT chip. The plasma power is 100 W and the treatment time is 2 minutes. This is to improve the adhesion of the photoresist in the subsequent process.

[0080] S13, using a spin coating process to uniformly coat a layer of positive photoresist on the back side of the IGBT chip at a spin coating speed of 4000 rpm for 40 seconds to form a photoresist coating with a thickness of 1.5 microns; then, the IGBT chip coated with the positive photoresist is pre-baked on a hot plate at a temperature of 90°C for 2 minutes to remove the solvent in the photoresist.

[0081] The S14 uses UV lithography technology and an intelligent alignment system to align and transfer the pre-designed microchannel network pattern photomask onto the photoresist layer; the exposure energy is 150 mJ / cm² and the exposure time is 10 seconds, ensuring high resolution and accuracy of the microchannel pattern.

[0082] S15, placing the exposed IGBT chip in a developer at 25°C for development to complete the patterning of the IGBT chip; wherein the development time is 60 seconds, and the developer is a 2.38% concentration of tetramethylammonium hydroxide solution; after the development is completed, the surface of the IGBT chip is rinsed with deionized water to remove the residual developer, and then blown dry in a nitrogen environment.

[0083] In order to enhance the etching resistance of the microchannel pattern, the developed IGBT chip was placed on a hot plate at 120°C for post-baking for 5 minutes to fully cross-link the photoresist and enhance its corrosion resistance.

[0084] S16 uses deep reactive ion etching technology to perform anisotropic etching on the back side of the patterned chip substrate; the etching parameters are set as follows: SF6 and C4F8 etching gases, gas flow rates of 130 sccm and 85 sccm respectively, RF power of 800 W, etching cycles of 200 times, each cycle time of 7 seconds, and a total etching depth of 50 microns, forming a pre-designed microchannel network structure.

[0085] S17, after the etching process is completed, acetone, anhydrous ethanol and deionized water are used in sequence for multi-stage cleaning, and then drying is performed to obtain the back side of the substrate of the IGBT chip with a microchannel network structure.

[0086] Specifically, use an organic solvent (such as acetone) to completely remove the residual photoresist on the back of the IGBT chip; then, use deionized water and anhydrous ethanol to clean the chip surface in sequence, and finally, blow dry with nitrogen in a clean and dry environment or place it in an oven at 100°C for 5 minutes to obtain the back of the IGBT chip substrate with a microchannel network structure.

[0087] Use optical scanning equipment to inspect the etched microchannel network structure to confirm that the size, morphology and position of the microchannel meet the preset design requirements; if defects are found, record them and make corresponding process adjustments.

[0088] In this embodiment, it is specifically described that step S2 specifically includes:

[0089] S21, placing the IGBT chip in a plasma cleaning device, and using argon plasma to perform surface activation treatment on the inner wall of the microchannel network, with a plasma power of 150 W and a treatment time of 3 minutes; to remove residual organic matter and oxide layer on the inner wall of the microchannel and enhance the adhesion of the graphene film.

[0090] S22, in a chemical vapor deposition system, fix the IGBT chip on a quartz substrate carrier so that the inner wall of the microchannel network faces the direction of reaction gas flow; use a robotic arm to automatically load the chip into the CVD reaction chamber to avoid contamination introduced by manual operation.

[0091] S23: The CVD reaction chamber of the chemical vapor deposition system is vacuum-evacuated to a base pressure of 1×10⁻ 4 Pa; high-purity hydrogen and argon were introduced for pre-cleaning with gas flow rates of 200 sccm and 500 sccm, respectively, and the temperature was raised to 800°C for 30 minutes to further remove surface impurities on the inner wall of the microchannel.

[0092] S24, raising the reaction temperature of the CVD reaction chamber to 1000°C. Under the regulation of the control system, the carbon source gases methane, hydrogen, and argon required for graphene growth are introduced, with gas flow rates of 20 sccm for methane, 100 sccm for hydrogen, and 500 sccm for argon, respectively; and maintaining the pressure of the CVD reaction chamber at 500 Pa.

[0093] S25, starting the graphene deposition process, the deposition time is 15 minutes, using an online monitoring device to detect the gas composition in the CVD reaction chamber and the graphene growth on the inner wall of the microchannel in real time to ensure the continuity and high quality of the graphene film.

[0094] After deposition is complete, the methane flow is stopped, the hydrogen and argon flows are maintained constant, and the temperature is gradually lowered to 800°C for 10 minutes of annealing to improve the crystal quality and thermal conductivity of the graphene film. The cooling process is then continued, during which the hydrogen flow is stopped and the argon flow is maintained to prevent oxidation of the graphene film during the cooling process. During the cooling process, the intelligent control system monitors temperature and atmosphere changes in real time to ensure the stability of the cooling process.

[0095] S27, when the temperature drops below 50°C, the CVD reaction chamber is restored to normal pressure; then the deposited IGBT chip is removed from the CVD reaction chamber;

[0096] A robotic arm is used to remove the deposited IGBT chip from the reaction chamber and store it in a clean environment protected by inert gas to prevent the graphene film from being affected by water vapor and oxygen in the air.

[0097] S28, using a Raman spectrometer to detect the graphene film on the inner wall of the microchannel network to confirm the number of layers and crystal quality of the graphene film, and measuring the thickness of the film by an optical scanning device; ensuring that the thickness is uniform between 1-2 nanometers to meet the requirements of high thermal conductivity.

[0098] For chips whose test results do not meet the requirements, the intelligent system automatically adjusts the CVD process parameters, such as deposition temperature, gas flow rate and deposition time, based on the feedback information, and repeats steps S24 to S28 until the quality of the graphene film reaches the preset standard.

[0099] The IGBT chips that meet the quality requirements are subjected to surface protection treatment, and a peelable protective film is coated at the entrance and exit of the microchannel network to prevent impurities from entering the microchannels in subsequent processes and maintain the integrity of the graphene film.

[0100] In this embodiment, it is specifically explained that step S3 specifically includes:

[0101] S31, based on the design parameters of the microchannel network of the IGBT chip, use computer design software to draw a three-dimensional model structure of the microfluidic distributor, where the three-dimensional model structure includes a coolant inlet, outlet, and internal microchannel structure; ensure that the inlet and outlet positions and dimensions are precisely matched with the microchannel network.

By passing coolant, the sealing and fluid circulation of the microchannel network and microfluidic distributor are checked to ensure there are no leaks or blockages. Measuring equipment is used to monitor the flow rate, pressure, and temperature changes of the coolant to verify the performance of the cooling system. Subsequently, an electrical performance test is performed to measure the switching characteristics, on-resistance, and insulation performance of the IGBT module to ensure that the electrical performance meets the specifications.
