Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power semiconductor device packaging technology, and particularly relates to a SiC MOSFET device with overcurrent resistant dual flexible buffer layer packaging. Background Technology

[0002] Compared with traditional silicon (Si)-based power devices, silicon carbide metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (SiCMOSFETs) have stronger high temperature resistance, higher voltage rating, higher switching frequency, higher power density, lower power transmission loss, and better stability, and are widely used in application scenarios where silicon-based power devices are difficult to adapt to.

[0003] Existing structures typically employ planar layouts and wire bonding, resulting in larger module sizes, longer current conduction paths, increased parasitic inductance and resistance, and electromagnetic interference that affects module performance. Furthermore, SiC MOSFETs are susceptible to overcurrent during application. Under conditions such as circuit faults (e.g., short circuits) or sudden load changes, the current flowing through the device exceeds its rated current value, causing the device to experience significant current stress and generate excessive heat. The strongest local hot spots are generated when the overcurrent flows through the conductive channel, and the thermo-mechanical stress near the conductive channel increases sharply. High temperatures can melt the metal, leading to a short circuit between the gate and source. If the overcurrent conduction path and the excessively high thermo-mechanical stress are not controlled, the device will be damaged.

The drain metal 32 is located below and connected to the SiC substrate layer 31. The SiC epitaxial layer 30 is located above and connected to the SiC substrate layer 31.

[0070] The polyimide layer 33 is located above the junction terminal 29 and is shaped to match it. Each row of gate cylinders 39 is connected and short-circuited together by a vertically rectangular gate connection layer 25 above. All vertical gate connection layers 25 are connected and short-circuited together by two horizontally rectangular gate connection layers 25. The horizontal gate connection layers 25 below the gate panel 23 are connected and short-circuited together by a circular gate connection layer 25 protrusion. Each row of source cylinders 38 is connected and short-circuited together by a vertically rectangular source connection layer 26 above. The source connection layer 26 is connected to the source panel 24 above, and the height of the upper surface of the source connection layer 26 is the same as the height of the upper surface of the horizontal gate connection layer 25 protrusion. The gate connection layer 25 and the source connection layer 26 are not in contact.

[0071] The gate connection layer 25, source connection layer 26, source cylinder 38, and gate cylinder 39 are arranged vertically and are at the same height as the top surface of the junction terminal 29.

[0072] The outer edge of the source panel 24 is circumferentially covered by a panel isolation layer 37, and the gate panel 23 is located at the inner edge of the panel isolation layer 37. The gate panel 23, the source panel 24 and the panel isolation layer 37 are located on the same plane.

[0073] Source cylinder 38 includes, from top to bottom, source metal 27 and N. + Region 35, P-body region 36, SiC epitaxial layer 30, SiC substrate layer 31, drain metal 32, source metal 27, N + Region 35, P-body region 36, SiC epitaxial layer 30, SiC substrate layer 31, and drain metal 32 are all cylindrical structures with the same upper plane shape and two adjacent surfaces are tightly attached.

[0074] From top to bottom, the gate cylinder 39 consists of gate metal 28, SiO2 layer 34, SiC epitaxial layer 30, SiC substrate layer 31, and drain metal 32. The SiO2 layer 34 has a cylindrical structure. The SiO2 layer 34 and the lower half of the gate metal 28 can be tightly fitted together. The two adjacent surfaces of the SiO2 layer 34, SiC epitaxial layer 30, SiC substrate layer 31, and source metal 27 are tightly attached. The upper plane of the SiO2 layer 34 is higher than the upper plane of the source cylinder 38.

[0075] The structure of the gate-source interlayer 40, from top to bottom, consists of N + Region 35, P-body region 36, SiC epitaxial layer 30, SiC substrate layer 31, drain metal 32, N +The contact areas of region 35, P-body region 36, SiC epitaxial layer 30, SiC substrate layer 31, and drain metal 32 are equal, and two adjacent surfaces are tightly bonded together.

[0076] The structure of the terminal 29, from top to bottom, consists of a SiC epitaxial layer 30 and a SiC substrate layer 31. Both the SiC epitaxial layer 30 and the SiC substrate layer 31 are square-ring hollow cuboids with two adjacent surfaces tightly bonded together.

[0077] Each portion of the gate cylinder 39 is connected to the gate interconnect layer 25, and the gate panel 23 is short-circuited to the gate interconnect layer 25 via a protrusion. Each of the source cylinders 38 is connected to the source interconnect layer 26, which is connected to the upper source panel 24.

The gate interconnect layer 25 and the source interconnect layer 26 are not in contact at any viewing angle.

[0078] The polyimide layer 33 is above the junction terminal 29 and below the panel isolation layer 37. The polyimide layer 33 is a hollow cuboid with a bottom area equal to the bottom area of ​​the junction terminal 29. The lower plane of the polyimide layer 33 is tightly attached to the upper plane of the junction terminal 29 in a tangential manner.

[0079] The device structure of this invention has a uniform overcurrent shunt path: the source metal 27 in the SiC MOSFET chip 7 is respectively disposed corresponding to the upper buffer layer molybdenum pillar 18 and the lower buffer layer molybdenum pillar 21, and the diameters of the upper buffer layer molybdenum pillar 18, the lower buffer layer molybdenum pillar 21 and the source metal 27 are the same; the gate metal 28 of the SiC MOSFET chip 7 is respectively disposed corresponding to the upper buffer layer graphene pillar 19 and the lower buffer layer graphene pillar 22, and the diameters of the upper buffer layer graphene pillar 19, the lower buffer layer graphene pillar 22 and the gate metal 28 are the same. This arrangement ensures that when an overcurrent occurs, the current in the upper buffer layer 5, the SiC MOSFET chip 7 and the lower buffer layer 9 is uniformly distributed; and when the device overheats, the thermo-mechanical stress is uniformly distributed to each region of the upper buffer layer 5, the SiC MOSFET chip 7 and the lower buffer layer 9, alleviating stress concentration at a certain local hot spot.

[0080] The device structure of this invention has a unique thermo-mechanical stress buffering mechanism: the upper buffer layer molybdenum pillar 18 above the source cylinder 38 and gate cylinder 39, and the lower buffer layer molybdenum pillar 21 below the source metal 27 have their upper and lower edges aligned, and the top view pattern is a circle of the same shape. The upper and lower edges of the gate cylinder 39, the upper buffer layer graphene pillar 19 above the gate cylinder 39, and the lower buffer layer graphene pillar 22 below the gate cylinder 39 are aligned, and the top view pattern is a circle of the same shape.

[0081] The SiO2 layer 34 below the gate cylinder 39 is the point where the thermo-mechanical stress is most concentrated when an overcurrent occurs. The upper buffer layer graphene pillar 19 of the upper buffer layer 5 and the lower buffer layer graphene pillar 22 of the lower buffer layer 9 are directly opposite the SiO2 layer 34, so that the graphene can directly share, buffer and bear the thermo-mechanical stress from the source cylinder 38, and alleviate the melting of the gate metal 28 in the SiO2 layer 34 and the source panel 24 above the gate cylinder 39.

[0082] The upper buffer layer molybdenum pillar 18 of the upper buffer layer 5 and the lower buffer layer molybdenum pillar 21 of the lower buffer layer 9 are directly opposite the source cylinder 38, so that the overcurrent can flow out of the source terminal 14 and the drain terminal 16 through the upper buffer layer 5 and the lower buffer layer 9 respectively with the shortest current path, thus dissipating the overcurrent with less power consumption. In addition, the upper buffer layer graphene pillar 19, the gate cylinder 39 inside the SiC MOSFET chip 7, and the lower buffer layer graphene pillar 22 are tangent to the four upper buffer layer molybdenum pillars 18 in the upper buffer layer 5, the four source cylinders 38 inside the SiC MOSFET chip 7, and the four lower buffer layer molybdenum pillars 21 in the lower buffer layer 9, respectively. During overcurrent, thermal stress is conducted from the SiCMOSFET chip 7 to the upper buffer layer molybdenum pillar 18 and the lower buffer layer molybdenum pillar 21, causing abnormal pressure between the molybdenum pillars and the gate panel 23 below them under thermal stress. Due to the close and uniform arrangement of the molybdenum pillars and graphene pillars, the graphene can alleviate the thermal and mechanical stress of the molybdenum pillars around it. With the gate cylinder 39 and the upper buffer layer graphene pillar 19 aligned vertically, and the upper buffer layer molybdenum pillar 18 and the source metal 27 aligned vertically, the gate connection layer 25 and the source connection layer 26 can respectively short-circuit the dispersed source cylinder 38 and the gate cylinder 39, so that the dispersed gate cylinder 39 is connected to the gate panel 23, and the dispersed source cylinder 38 is connected to the source panel 24.

[0083] The device structure of this invention exhibits electromagnetic interference (EMI) immunity. The double-sided heat dissipation package eliminates wire bonding, and the source metal 27, the upper buffer layer molybdenum pillar 18 of the upper buffer layer 5, and the lower buffer layer molybdenum pillar 21 of the lower buffer layer 9 are vertically aligned, allowing current to reach the source terminal 14 and the drain terminal 16 via the shortest path, reducing parasitic inductance and resistance. The graphene pillars possess excellent electromagnetic shielding capabilities, further reducing parasitic inductance and suppressing EMI.
