Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] A power module is a new type of high-power power electronic device, which has advantages such as high current density, low saturation voltage, and high voltage resistance, and is currently widely used in various fields such as production and life.
[0003] As a power semiconductor device that realizes power conversion control in a power electronic system, with the gradual increase of power demand, a power module usually needs to parallel multiple power devices to meet the high-power demand. In the existing power modules with parallel multiple power devices, there is usually a current sharing problem, that is, some power devices will be affected by the current shunting of other power devices, and the currents borne by multiple power devices are uneven, resulting in an excessive current borne by some power devices, and then overheating and failure. Further, there is also a switching oscillation problem in the existing parallel connection of multiple power devices. Since the lengths of the gate and source loop paths of each power device are different, and the power loop with a longer coupling has a larger stray inductance, the switching times of the driving gates of each power device are inconsistent, and there is mutual crosstalk between multiple power devices, resulting in unstable gate voltage, current, and voltage between the source and drain of the parallel power devices, and obvious oscillation.

Those skilled in the art can fully understand the present application without the description of these details. In order to avoid obscuring the essence of the present application, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits are not described in detail.
[0110] In addition, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the accompanying drawings provided herein are for illustrative purposes only, and the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale.
[0111] Unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, terms such as "installation", "connection", "connection", "fixation", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components or the interaction relationship between two components, unless otherwise clearly limited. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0112] For ease of explanation, spatially relative terms such as "inner", "outer", "below", "beneath", "lower", "above", "upper", etc. are used herein to describe the relationship of one element or feature illustrated in the drawings to another element or feature. It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the drawings. For example, if the device in the drawings is flipped, the element described as "below" or "beneath" another element or feature will then be positioned "above" that other element or feature. Thus, the exemplary term "below" can encompass both the orientation of above and below. The device can be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptive words used herein should be interpreted accordingly.
[0113] Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, words such as "including" and "comprising" throughout the application should be interpreted in an inclusive sense rather than an exclusive or exhaustive sense; that is, in the sense of "including but not limited to".
