Due to the limitations of the shell and the bonding process, the volume of the power module is large, and the power density is low; and under the power cycle test condition, because the thermal expansion coefficients of the aluminum wire (thermal expansion coefficient: 23.5x10 -6 / K) and the chip (thermal expansion coefficient: 2.6~4.3x10 -6 / K) are quite different, the neck of the bonding point will crack after a certain number of power cycles, and the power cycle reliability is low; in addition, the stray inductance of the traditional shell sealing module is generally high, usually not less than 20nH, the size of the double-sided copper clad ceramic substrate is large, the parasitic capacitance is high, and in high frequency applications, the dv / dt increases, which will generate a high common mode current, causing serious interference to the driving circuit or causing driving failure and driving board damage.

[0073] S7: A packaging layer is formed, the upper surface of the packaging layer exposes the upper surfaces of the copper bridges at predetermined positions, and the lower surface of the packaging layer exposes the lower copper surfaces.

[0074] The manufacturing method of the power module packaging structure in the embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the specific drawings.

[0075] First, refer to Figure 3 , step S1 is performed: a copper-clad ceramic substrate 1 is provided, which includes oppositely arranged upper and lower copper surfaces, and the upper copper surface includes a first partial upper copper surface 1001, a second partial upper copper surface 1002, a third partial upper copper surface 1003, and a fourth partial upper copper surface 1004 arranged at intervals.

[0076] As an example, the copper-clad ceramic substrate 1 adopts a double-sided copper-clad ceramic substrate, and the upper copper surface and the lower copper surface are separated by a ceramic layer 102. In the perspective of Figure 3 , only the upper copper surface and the ceramic layer 102 are exposed, and the cross-sectional view of the copper-clad ceramic substrate 1 is shown in the subsequent Figure 7 , the upper copper surface 100 and the lower copper surface 101 are arranged on both sides of the ceramic layer 102.

[0077] As an example, the size and position of the first partial upper copper surface 1001, the second partial upper copper surface 1002, the third partial upper copper surface 1003, and the fourth partial upper copper surface 1004 are set according to requirements. In this embodiment, the first partial upper copper surface 1001 and the second partial upper copper surface 1002 are used for soldering thermistors later, so the size of the first partial upper copper surface 1001 and the second partial upper copper surface 1002 is set to be smaller, and the third partial upper copper surface 1003 and the fourth partial upper copper surface 1004 are used for soldering chips later, so the size of the third partial upper copper surface 1003 and the fourth partial upper copper surface 1004 is set to be larger. The third partial upper copper surface 1003 and the fourth partial upper copper surface 1004 are separated by a predetermined distance, and the first partial upper copper surface 1001 and the second partial upper copper surface 1002 are located in the gap between the third partial upper copper surface 1003 and the fourth partial upper copper surface 1004.

[0078] Next, refer to Figure 4 , step S2 is performed: silver paste 2 is printed on the first partial upper copper surface 1001, the second partial upper copper surface 1002, the third partial upper copper surface 1003, and the fourth partial upper copper surface 1004.

[0079] As an example, the silver paste 2 is printed at the positions where the thermistors and chips will be attached later. After printing the silver paste 2, preliminary curing is performed to remove moisture and solvents in the silver paste 2. Specifically, in this embodiment, the temperature for preliminary curing is 100°C to 130°C.

[0080] Next, refer to Figure 5, execute step S3: provide the thermistor 3 and a plurality of chips 4, one end of the thermistor 3 is pasted on the silver paste of the copper surface 1001 of the first part, the other end of the thermistor 3 is pasted on the silver paste of the copper surface 1002 of the second part, the chip 4 includes a first surface and a second surface arranged oppositely, the first surface of the chip 4 is provided with a drain, the second surface of the chip 4 is provided with a gate and a source, and the first surface of at least two chips 4 is pasted on the silver paste of the copper surface 1003 of the third part. The first surface of at least two chips 4 is pasted on the silver paste of the copper surface 1004 of the fourth part.

[0081] As an example, the thermistor 3 is used to monitor the internal temperature of the power module, and in this embodiment, the thermistor 3 adopts a glass-encapsulated thermistor. The glass-encapsulated thermistor has the advantages of high temperature resistance, good air tightness, good chemical inertness, good insulation, etc., and can provide accurate, stable and long-term temperature monitoring for the power module.

[0082] As an example, the number of chips 4 in this embodiment is four, of which the number of chips pasted on the copper surface 1003 of the third part is two, and the drains (D) of the two chips on the copper surface 1003 of the third part are electrically connected through the copper surface 1003 of the third part. The number of chips pasted on the copper surface 1004 of the fourth part is two, and the drains (D) of the two chips on the copper surface 1004 of the fourth part are electrically connected through the copper surface 1004 of the fourth part.

[0083] Then, step S4 is executed, and the structure pasted with the thermistor 3 and the chip 4 is placed in a sintering furnace for sintering, wherein the chip 4 is sintered with pressure silver, and the thermistor 3 is sintered without pressure silver.

[0084] As an example, the structure pasted with the thermistor 3 and the chip 4 is placed in the lower die of the sintering furnace, and then the upper die is used to press the second surface of the chip 4, so that the chip 4 is sintered with pressure silver, wherein the upper die is designed so that when the upper die presses the chip 4, the upper die does not come into contact with the thermistor 3, and the thermistor 3 is sintered without pressure silver.

[0085] As an example, the thermistor 3 is glass-encapsulated, which has weak mechanical strength and may be damaged by pressure. In the prior art, the steps of connecting the thermistor and other devices include: tin paste, welding and cleaning, which increases three processes. In this application, the thermistor 3 is sintered without pressure silver, and the sintering of the chip 4 with pressure silver is synchronized, which can reduce the process, reduce the cost, and improve the production efficiency.

[0086] As an example, although the reliability of the no-pressure silver sintering is lower than that of the pressure silver sintering, it is completely sufficient to be used in the thermistor 3. Because the detection current is small when the thermistor 3 is applied, for example, in the electric vehicle application, the current of the thermistor is less than 10 mA, and the power loss is usually not more than 20 mV, the electrical connection requirement is low, and it is sufficient to be connected.

[0087] As an example, the chip 4 is sintered by the pressure silver, so that the high mechanical strength and the high reliability connection between the chip 4 and the upper copper surface are realized.

[0088] Then, step S5 is performed: the solder layer is arranged at the welding positions of the first part of the upper copper surface 1001, the second part of the upper copper surface 1002, the third part of the upper copper surface 1003, the fourth part of the upper copper surface 1004 and the chip 4.

[0089] As an example, the arrangement of the solder layer includes the tin paste and the pre-solder sheet, wherein the tin paste is arranged as the solder layer for the area with small welding position, and the pre-solder sheet is arranged as the solder layer for the area with large welding position.

[0090] Specifically, the tin paste is arranged as the solder layer on the first part of the upper copper surface 1001, the tin paste is arranged as the solder layer on the second part of the upper copper surface 1002, the pre-solder sheet is arranged as the solder layer on the third part of the upper copper surface 1003, and the pre-solder sheet is arranged as the solder layer on the fourth part of the upper copper surface.

[0091] Specifically, in the embodiment, the second surface of the chip 4 is also provided with the Kelvin source (KS), so as to eliminate the interference of the source parasitic inductance / resistance in the chip on the gate drive signal and improve the switching performance. Wherein, the tin paste is arranged as the solder layer on the gate (G) and the Kelvin source (KS) of the chip 4, and the pre-solder sheet is arranged as the solder layer on the source (S) of the chip 4.

[0092] Then, referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , step S6 is performed: a plurality of copper bridges are provided, all the copper bridges are placed at the corresponding welding positions and are welded, wherein the chip 4 above the third part of the upper copper surface 1003 is connected in parallel, the chip 4 above the fourth part of the upper copper surface 1004 is connected in parallel, and the chip 4 above the third part of the upper copper surface 1003 and the chip 4 above the fourth part of the upper copper surface 1004 are connected in series.

[0093] As an example, the copper bridge includes a first copper bridge 501 to a tenth copper bridge 510, wherein:

[0094] The first copper bridge 501 electrically connects the gate (G) of the chip 4 above the third part of the upper copper surface 1003;

[0095] The second copper bridge 502 electrically connects the source (S) of the chip 4 above the third copper surface 1003 of the third portion;

[0096] The third copper bridge 503 electrically connects the gate (G) of the chip 4 above the fourth copper surface 1004 of the fourth portion;

[0097] The fourth copper bridge 504 electrically connects the source (S) of the chip 4 above the fourth copper surface 1004 of the fourth portion;

[0098] The fifth copper bridge 505 electrically connects the source (S) of the chip 4 above the third copper surface 1003 of the third portion and the fourth copper surface 1004 of the fourth portion;

[0099] The bottom end of the sixth copper bridge 506 is welded with the first copper surface 1001 of the first portion;

[0100] The bottom end of the seventh copper bridge 507 is welded with the second copper surface 1002 of the second portion;

[0101] The bottom end of the eighth copper bridge 508 is welded with the third copper surface 1003 of the third portion;

[0102] The bottom end of the ninth copper bridge 509 is welded with the fourth copper surface 1004 of the fourth portion;

[0103] The bottom end of the tenth copper bridge 510 is welded with the source (S) of the chip 4 above the fourth copper surface 1004 of the fourth portion.

[0104] As an example, since the second surface of the chip 4 is also provided with a Kelvin source (KS), the copper bridge further comprises an eleventh copper bridge 511 and a twelfth copper bridge 512, wherein,

[0105] The eleventh copper bridge 511 electrically connects the Kelvin source (KS) of the chip 4 above the third copper surface 1003 of the third portion;

[0106] The twelfth copper bridge 512 electrically connects the Kelvin source (KS) of the chip 4 above the fourth copper surface 1004 of the fourth portion.

[0107] As an example, for the chip 4 on the third part of the upper copper surface 1003, the drain (D) of the chip is electrically connected through the third part of the upper copper surface 1003, the gate (G) of the chip is electrically connected through the first copper bridge 501, the source (S) of the chip is electrically connected through the second copper bridge 502, and the Kelvin source (KS) of the chip is electrically connected through the eleventh copper bridge 511, so that the chip 4 on the third part of the upper copper surface 1003 is connected in parallel, and the overcurrent capacity is increased, wherein the chip 4 on the third part of the upper copper surface 1003 shares the gate line (the first copper bridge 501), which can make the switching speed of the parallel chips consistent, the current sharing performance of the chips is good, and the different gate resistances caused by different gate line lengths or lines are reduced, thereby affecting the switching speed and current sharing performance of the parallel chips. If the switching speed of the parallel chips is not the same, the chips will not share the current, the chip with large current will heat up, and in extreme cases, product failure can be caused.

[0108] Similarly, for the chip 4 on the fourth part of the upper copper surface 1004, the drain (D) of the chip is electrically connected through the fourth part of the upper copper surface 1004, the gate (G) of the chip is electrically connected through the third copper bridge 503, the source (S) of the chip is electrically connected through the fourth copper bridge 504, and the Kelvin source (KS) of the chip is electrically connected through the twelfth copper bridge 512, so that the chip 4 on the fourth part of the upper copper surface 1004 is connected in parallel, and the overcurrent capacity is increased, wherein the chip 4 on the fourth part of the upper copper surface 1004 shares the gate line (the third copper bridge 503).

[0109] As an example, the chip 4 on the third part of the upper copper surface 1003 is recorded as the first group of parallel chips, the chip 4 on the fourth part of the upper copper surface 1004 is recorded as the second group of parallel chips, and the fifth copper bridge 505 electrically connects the source (D) of the chip 4 above the third part of the upper copper surface 1003 and the fourth part of the upper copper surface 1004, that is, the fifth copper bridge 505 electrically connects the source (S) of the first group of parallel chips and the drain (D) of the second group of parallel chips, so that the first group of parallel chips and the second group of parallel chips are connected in series.

[0110] As an example, the sixth copper bridge 506 and the seventh copper bridge 507 are respectively used as the lead terminals of the thermistor 3.

[0111] As an example, the eighth copper bridge 508 is used as a direct-current bus positive terminal (P).

[0112] As an example, the ninth copper bridge 509 is used as a three-phase alternating-current output terminal (U / V / W).

[0113] As an example, the tenth copper bridge 510 is used as a DC bus negative terminal (N), wherein the top end of the tenth copper bridge 510 is close to the eighth copper bridge 508 across the fifth copper bridge 505, that is, the DC bus positive terminal (P) and the DC bus negative terminal (N) are arranged in parallel and are close to each other, so that an ultra-low stray inductance can be achieved, and the stray inductance is less than 2 nH. Compared with the traditional 34MM / P1 shell sealing module (the stray inductance is about 30 nH), the 62MM / P2 shell sealing module and the Econodual3 / E3 shell sealing module (the stray inductance is about 20 nH), the stray inductance is greatly reduced, and the performance is improved.

[0114] As an example, in the prior art, different regions are connected by bonding with aluminum wires, the aluminum wires are prone to deformation, and in the industry, the curvature of the aluminum wires is usually required to be relatively high, so that the thickness of the power module is relatively thick; and usually, the aluminum wires of different electrodes are not staggered in space to avoid accidentally touching in production to change the spacing of the upper and lower aluminum wires, thereby affecting the reliability of the product. In the present application, different regions are connected and electrodes are led out by using copper bridges, the copper bridges are not prone to deformation, the height thereof does not need to be very high, the thickness of the power module can be reduced, and the copper bridges can be designed in a stacked manner (for example, the tenth copper bridge 510 is arranged above the fifth copper bridge 505), so that the volume of the power module can be reduced, the power density can be improved, and the parasitic capacitance can be reduced; in addition, the overcurrent capacity of the copper bridge is greater than that of the aluminum wire, so that the power cycle times of the power module can be improved, and the power cycle reliability can be improved by at least 2 times or more.

[0115] As an example, in the present embodiment, the copper bridges are welded by vacuum reflow soldering, including the following steps:

[0116] (1) Place a plurality of copper bridges on corresponding welding positions by suction / placement equipment or a mechanical hand, and fix the copper bridges with a clamp;

[0117] (2) Put the structure with the fixed copper bridges into a vacuum reflow furnace, and perform vacuum welding under the protection of 99.999% high-purity nitrogen to prevent oxidation and welding cavities of the product.

[0118] As an example, after the copper bridges are welded, a cleaning step is further included to remove the flux.

[0119] Next, referring to Figures 8 to 10 , a step S7 of forming an encapsulation layer 6 is performed, wherein an upper surface of the encapsulation layer 6 exposes an upper surface of the copper bridge at a preset position, and a lower surface of the encapsulation layer 6 exposes the lower copper surface 101.

[0120] As an example, before forming the encapsulation layer 6, a step of plasma surface treatment is further included after the structure with the copper bridges welded, and then the encapsulation layer 6 is formed, which can increase the bonding force between the encapsulation layer 6 and the surface of the substrate / chip, thereby enhancing the mechanical strength, moisture resistance and long-term reliability of the encapsulation.

[0121] Specifically, the structure after plasma surface treatment is put into an injection molding machine to perform injection molding to form the encapsulation layer 6, and the material of the encapsulation layer 6 is epoxy resin. The epoxy encapsulation layer enhances the mechanical strength, reliability and sealing performance of the module, and can be applied to a humid environment without the need for special sealing and moisture-proof protection like traditional shell encapsulation modules.

In this embodiment, all the terminals are led out from the upper surface of the power module, so that the power module can be applied to surface mount installation, and the power module and other devices can be connected and installed through automatic equipment, thereby improving the efficiency and reducing the cost.

[0124] ​As an example, in the bill of materials (BOM) of the traditional power module, about 15 kinds of materials are needed, and in the bill of materials (BOM) of the power module of the present application, about 11 kinds of materials are needed, the number of materials used is less, and the cost can be reduced.
