[0119] In some embodiments, the power chips include multiple chip groups 4, and the number of lead frames is multiple, and each chip group is connected to each lead frame one by one.
[0120] The lead frame can be used to realize the pin extension of the power chip, and the power loop and / or signal loop can be connected to the power chip through the lead frame. Therefore, the power chips connected by one lead frame are suitable to be configured with the same function. For example, each power chip in the main drive inverter power assembly 100 is divided into multiple chip groups 4 according to the bridge arm, and a separate lead frame is used to connect each bridge arm.
[0121] In some embodiments, the chip layer 110 further includes a thermistor 34 connected to the lead frame and arranged close to the power chip; the surface of the wiring layer 120 away from the chip layer 110 is further provided with a detection electrode, and the wiring layer 120 is further provided with a detection circuit connected between the thermistor 34 and the detection electrode.

The frame layer 3 and the upper and lower layers can be fused into one whole through 3-layer pressing, so that the preparation process is simple.

Among them, each connection layer and the conductive material in the via can be copper or silver, etc. The following will be described in detail in combination with Figure 5 The first substrate 1 and the first laminated plate 31 are laminated together by the insulating layer 2.
[0125] Taking a half-bridge module as an example, the first laminated plate 31 is provided with two empty slots in the region corresponding to the half-bridge module, respectively embedded with the first lead frame 32 and the second lead frame 33. The thickness of the two lead frames is the same as the thickness of the first laminated plate 31. The chip set 4 includes two groups, one group is the first upper bridge chip 41, and the other group is the first lower bridge chip 42. The first upper bridge chip 41 is connected to the first lead frame 32, and the first lower bridge chip 42 is connected to the second lead frame 33. The first upper bridge chip 41 and the first lower bridge chip 42 are covered by the insulating layer 5 on the side away from the lead frame, realizing insulation and protection.
[0126] In some embodiments, the first substrate 1 and the first laminated plate 31 are provided with the insulating layer 2, and the first substrate 1, the insulating layer 2, the first laminated plate 31, the power chip and the insulating layer 5 are fused after lamination. By one side lamination, the substrate and chip layer 110 are fused into one whole, so that the preparation process is simple.
[0127] In some embodiments, the first substrate 1 is an aluminum-based copper-clad plate, and the insulating layer 2 includes a pre-impregnated material with adhesive properties. The first substrate 1 uses an aluminum plate which is not easy to crack in lamination, and the quality is more reliable. The pre-impregnated material can be FR4 (Flame Retardant Type 4) or BT (Bismaleimide-Triazine). The thickness of the first substrate 1 and the insulating layer 2 can be adjusted according to the actual application and the preparation process requirements.
[0128] In some embodiments, the power electrode includes a first power electrode, the power circuit includes a first power connection layer 71 and a first power circuit, and the first power connection layer 71 is connected with the first power pin of the first upper bridge chip 41, the first power pin of the first lower bridge chip 42 and the first power electrode through the first power circuit.
[0129] The first connection layer 7 is used to realize power connection, which includes the first power connection layer 71, the first via layer 6 includes the first hole 61 and the second hole 62, the fourth via layer 15 includes the tenth hole 153, and the first hole 61, the second hole 62 and the tenth hole 153 are provided with a connecting line to form the first power circuit to realize the power connection of the first power connection layer 71.
[0130] As an example, the first power pin can be a source electrode, and the first power electrode can be the high-voltage alternating current electrode 103. The first power connection layer 71 is connected to the source electrode of the first upper bridge chip 41 through the first hole 61, connected to the source electrode of the first lower bridge chip 42 through the second hole 62, and connected to the high-voltage alternating current electrode 103 through the tenth hole 153 to circulate the main current.

Of course, the first power connection layer 71 can also be connected to the lead frame through the first hole 61 to realize the connection to the source electrode of the first upper bridge chip 41.
[0132] It can be understood that in the case where the number of the first upper bridge chips 41 and the number of the first lower bridge chips 42 are both plural, the first power pin of each first upper bridge chip 41 and the first power pin of each first lower bridge chip 42 are connected to the same first power connection layer 71. In addition to realizing the power connection between the source electrodes of the first upper bridge chips 41 and the source electrodes of the first lower bridge chips 42, the first power connection layer 71 can also realize the power connection between the source electrodes of the first upper bridge chips 41 and the power connection between the source electrodes of the first lower bridge chips 42 to collect the currents of these pins to the first power connection layer 71 and then to the high-voltage alternating current electrode 103.
[0133] In some embodiments, the power electrode further includes a second power electrode, and the power circuit further includes a second power connection layer 72 and a second power circuit, the second power connection layer 72 is arranged in the same layer and insulated from the first power connection layer 71, and the second power connection layer 72 is connected to the second power pin of the first lower bridge chip 42 and the second power electrode through the second power circuit, respectively.
[0134] The first connection layer 7 further includes a second power connection layer 72, the first via layer 6 further includes a third hole 63, the fourth via layer 15 includes a ninth hole 152, and a connecting line is arranged in the third hole 63 and the ninth hole 152 to form a second power circuit to realize the power connection of the second power connection layer 72. The second power pin can be a drain electrode, and the second power electrode can be the high-voltage direct current negative electrode 102. The second power connection layer 72 is connected to the drain electrode of the first lower bridge chip 42 through the third hole 63 and connected to the high-voltage direct current negative electrode 102 through the ninth hole 152.
[0135] When there are multiple first lower bridge chips 42, the second power pins of each first lower bridge chip 42 are connected to the same second power connection layer 72. The second power connection layer 72 can realize power connection between the drains of each first lower bridge chip 42, so that the current of these pins is collected in the second power connection layer 72 and then led to the high-voltage DC negative electrode 102.
[0136] In some embodiments, the power electrode further includes a third power electrode, the power circuit includes a third power circuit, and the third power circuit is connected between the second power pin of the first upper bridge chip 41 and the third power electrode.

[0139] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 6 FIG. 1 shows a power connection layer wiring structure of a main drive inverter power component 100. Figure 6 As shown, the first power connection layer 71 and the second power connection layer 72 can adopt a large-area copper layer structure, which is beneficial to increasing the overcurrent cross-sectional area, improving the module's overcurrent capacity, and reducing stray inductance.
[0140] It should be noted that since the first power connection layer 71 and the second power connection layer 72 cover the first upper bridge chip 41 and the first lower bridge chip 42 respectively, in order to facilitate the arrangement of the remaining power lines and signal lines, the first power connection layer 71 and the second power connection layer 72 can respectively leak out some pins (such as the drain and the gate) of the first upper bridge chip 41 and the first lower bridge chip 42.
[0141] In some embodiments, the signal electrode includes a first signal electrode and a second signal electrode, and the signal circuit includes a first signal connection layer, a second signal connection layer, a first signal line, and a second signal line.

[0142] In the case where the number of the first upper bridge chips 41 and the number of the first lower bridge chips 42 are both plural, the signals of the signal pins of each first upper bridge chip 41 are gathered in the first signal connection layer, and the signals of the signal pins of each first lower bridge chip 42 are gathered in the second signal connection layer, so as to realize common control. The signal pins of the power chips can be gates.
[0143] In some embodiments, the first upper bridge chips 41 and the first lower bridge chips 42 both include a plurality of signal pins, and the first signal connection layer and the second signal connection layer both include a plurality of sub-signal connection layers, each of which is connected to each signal pin of each first upper bridge chip 41 or each first lower bridge chip 42.
[0144] As an example, the signal pins of the first upper bridge chips 41 and the first lower bridge chips 42 both include gates and Kelvin sources, and since the signals of different signal pins need to be isolated, the first signal connection layer and the second signal connection layer both include two sub-signal connection layers.
[0145] Continuing to refer to Figure 5 , the second connection layer 10 and the third connection layer 13 are both used to arrange signal lines. The second connection layer 10 is used to connect the gates of the power chips, and includes a first sub-signal connection layer 107 and a second sub-signal connection layer 108. The third connection layer 13 is used to connect the Kelvin sources of the power chips, and includes a third sub-signal connection layer 131 and a fourth sub-signal connection layer 132. The first sub-signal connection layer 107 and the third sub-signal connection layer 131 are used as the first signal connection layer to lead out the signal pins of the first upper bridge chips 41, and the second sub-signal connection layer 108 and the fourth sub-signal connection layer 132 are used as the second signal connection layer to lead out the signal pins of the first lower bridge chips 42.

[0149] From Figure 7 and Figure 8 It can be seen that the main connection line is used to collect signals, and the sub-connection line is connected to each power chip to realize specific distribution of signals. The sub-connection line is connected with the main connection line perpendicularly, which can shorten the length of the sub-connection line; and since the lengths of the sub-connection lines are the same, the path of the current reaching each chip can be made as short and same as possible, which is beneficial to reduce the switching delay of the chip set.
[0150] In some embodiments, in the stacking direction of the power assembly, the first upper bridge chip 41 or the first lower bridge chip 42 corresponds to each sub-signal connection layer partially overlapping and arranged in parallel with each other.
[0151] From Figure 7 and Figure 8 It can be seen that the first sub-signal connection layer 107 and the third sub-signal connection layer 131 partially overlap in the middle part, and the second sub-signal connection layer 108 and the fourth sub-signal connection layer 132 partially overlap in the middle part. Due to the effect of partial overlap and parallel arrangement, signal interference and stray inductance can be reduced.

[0160] Referring to Figure 14 , Figure 14 A structure of a semiconductor module is shown, and one embodiment of the present application also proposes a semiconductor module. In the present embodiment, the semiconductor module includes a base plate 400 and a power assembly as described above, and the power assembly is arranged on the base plate 400.
[0161] The specific structure and principle of the power assembly can refer to the foregoing embodiments, which have corresponding technical effects, and the present embodiment will not be described here.
[0162] In some embodiments, the power assembly includes at least one of a first power assembly, a second power assembly, and a third power assembly, the power chips in the first power assembly are used to build an inverter, the power chips in the second power assembly are used to build a charger, and the power chips in the third power assembly are used to build a DC / DC unit.
[0163] As an example, the plurality of power assemblies can be respectively configured as a main drive inverter power assembly 100, a vehicle-mounted charger, and a DC\DC power assembly 200, and a vehicle-mounted compressor assembly 300, and the main drive inverter power assembly 100, the vehicle-mounted charger, the DC\DC power assembly 200, and the vehicle-mounted compressor assembly 300 are fixed on the base plate 400.
[0164] The main drive inverter power assembly 100, the on-board charger and DC\DC power assembly 200 and the on-board compressor assembly 300 can be welded to the first side of the bottom plate 400, and the second side opposite to the first side of the bottom plate 400 is provided with a heat dissipation structure.
[0165] In the embodiment, the power assembly can be welded to the bottom plate 400 by solder after being made, so as to ensure the connection stability. In addition, the power assembly and the bottom plate 400 can also be connected by other ways, such as bonding. The same side welding leaves space for the second side, so as to facilitate the setting of the heat dissipation structure and improve the reliability of the power assembly.
[0166] The heat dissipation structure can be a heat dissipation rack integrated with the bottom plate 400. The material of the bottom plate 400 can be copper or aluminum, which has high thermal conductivity and improves the heat dissipation effect. Of course, the heat dissipation structure can also be of other types, such as air cooling or liquid cooling.

The power assembly integrates the vehicle motor main drive inverter and the on-board compressor inverter, effectively reduces the volume of the module, and improves the power density.
[0168] As an example, the power chip, power circuit and signal circuit in the first power assembly are configured as a three-phase full-bridge inverter circuit. In the case that the DC side of one of the first power assemblies is connected with the DC bus of the vehicle high-voltage system, and the AC side is connected with the vehicle motor, the first power assembly can be used as a vehicle motor main drive inverter. In the case that the DC side of another first power assembly is connected with the DC bus, and the AC side is connected with the compressor of the vehicle air conditioning system, the first power assembly can be used as a vehicle motor main drive inverter.
[0169] In some embodiments, the second power assembly and the third power assembly are integrally prepared. The second power assembly and the third power assembly can be different regions in a semiconductor structure as a whole. Thus, the connection line between the second power assembly and the third power assembly can be directly realized in the wiring layer 120, reducing the connection terminals and the binding wires, and improving the power density.
[0170] In the preparation process, when the chip layer 110 is formed on a first substrate 1, the power chip meeting the charger and the DC / DC unit is configured at the same time, and then the corresponding power circuit and signal circuit are formed in the wiring layer 120, so as to integrate the charger and the DC / DC unit in a semiconductor structure. The power connection relationship between the charger and the DC / DC unit is realized by the power circuit in the wiring layer 120.
