[0054] Specifically, the semiconductor device of the present invention includes a package substrate 1 , a base 2 , a frame portion 31 , electrical connectors 3 and a plurality of chips 4 .
[0055] Among them, the packaging substrate 1 can be a traditional printed circuit board (PCB), which can meet the circuit layout design requirements, and the packaging substrate 1 includes a first wiring layer 11 and a first electrical pin 12. The first electrical pin 12 is arranged on the bottom surface of the packaging substrate 1 for connecting to an external working circuit. The first wiring layer 11 is provided with a first electrical channel 111 that vertically passes through the packaging substrate 1, and the electrical connection between the top surface of the packaging substrate 1 and the first electrical pin 12 at the bottom is realized through a vertical wiring structure. Based on the first wiring layer 11, the electrical connection between the electrical structure of the top surface of the packaging substrate 1 and the bottom electrical pin can be met. The first electrical pin 12 is used to electrically connect to the external working circuit, thereby meeting the electrical connection requirements of the semiconductor device and the external working circuit.
[0056] The base 2 can be a traditional copper-bonded ceramic plate (DBC), an aluminum-bonded ceramic plate (DAB), an active metal brazed ceramic plate (AMB) or an insulated metal substrate (IMS), and is embedded in the packaging substrate 1. The packaging substrate 1 is wrapped around the periphery of the base 2. The top surface of the base 2 is flush with and exposed to the top surface of the packaging substrate 1, and the bottom surface of the base 2 is flush with and exposed to the bottom surface of the packaging substrate 1, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency. In one embodiment, the four sides of the packaging substrate 1 and the base 2 are tightly connected by welding or sintering, and the front and back sides of the base 2 are not covered by substrate material, thereby forming a double-sided direct heat dissipation channel. The structure in which the bottom surface of the base 2 is flush with the bottom surface of the packaging substrate 1 allows the bottom surface of the base 2 to be directly mounted on the external working circuit along with the bottom surface of the semiconductor package. In conjunction with the heat dissipation structure of the external working circuit, efficient heat dissipation can be achieved, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the semiconductor device.
[0057] The base 2 includes a second wiring layer 21, a third wiring layer 22, a solder pad 23, a second electrical pin 24, a third electrical pin 25, and a fourth electrical pin 26. Based on the second wiring layer 21, a number of solder pads 23 are formed on the top surface of the base 2, and the chip 4 can be directly bonded to the solder pads 23. The second wiring layer 21 is provided with a second electrical channel 211, a third electrical channel 212, and a fourth electrical channel 213 that vertically penetrate the base 2 to electrically connect with the electrodes on the bottom surface of the chip 4. The second electrical pin 24, the third electrical pin 25, and the fourth electrical pin 26 are electrically connected to the second wiring layer 21 based on the second electrical channel 211, the third electrical channel 212, and the fourth electrical channel 213, respectively. The second electrical pin 24, the third electrical pin 25, and the fourth electrical pin 26 located at the bottom are used to electrically connect with an external working circuit. The second electrical pin 24 is connected to the first wiring layer 11 based on the second wiring layer 21, forming a loop between the first electrical pin 12 and the second electrical pin 24. The third wiring layer 22 is disposed on the base 2 and electrically connected to the second electrical channel 211, and is electrically connected to the first wiring layer 11 of the package substrate 1 and the second wiring layer 21 of the base 2, respectively. That is, the third wiring layer 22 is connected between the first wiring layer 11 and the second wiring layer 21.
[0058] The convenience of mounting the semiconductor device on other equipment can be improved by arranging the first electrical pin 12 and the second electrical pin 24 at the bottom of the package substrate 1 and the base 2. In addition, the vertical wiring structure can meet the requirements of miniaturization and compact packaging.
[0059] In one embodiment, the second wiring layer 21 and the third wiring layer 22 are planar circuit structures located at the same height in the base 2. The second wiring layer 21 is located on the top surface of the base 2. The third wiring layer 22 is arranged after the base 2 is embedded in the packaging substrate 1, so that the second wiring layer 21 and the third wiring layer 22 are connected. At the same time, the third wiring layer 22 is connected to the first wiring layer 11 located on the top surface of the packaging substrate 1, thereby achieving electrical connection between the first wiring layer 11 and the second wiring layer 21 through the third wiring layer 22.
[0060] In another embodiment, the third wiring layer 22 is laid on top of the second wiring layer 21 to form a stacked structure. The stacked structure can reduce the size of the entire structure.
[0061] Based on the electrical connection between the first wiring layer 11 inside the packaging substrate 1 and the second wiring layer 21 inside the base 2 and the chip 4, the connection method of wire bonding can be reduced, so that the internal circuit arrangement of the semiconductor device is compact, and miniaturized packaging and integrated packaging structure can be achieved.
[0062] The electrical connector 3 is a copper or aluminum component, and includes a frame portion 31 and a connecting portion 32 . The frame portion 31 is disposed on top of the package substrate 1 , and the connecting portion 32 is stacked on top of the frame portion 31 .
[0063] In this embodiment, a plurality of first electrical pathways 111 are sequentially arranged along two adjacent edges of the package substrate 1. Accordingly, the frame portion 31 extends along the adjacent edges of the package substrate 1 to cover the plurality of first electrical pathways 111 and form an electrical connection with the first wiring layer 11. The chip 4 is mounted on top of the base 2 to provide a compact structure. The connecting portion 32 covers the top of the frame portion 31 and extends from the frame portion 31 to the chip 4, electrically connecting thereto. Projected perpendicularly to the top surface of the base 2, in one embodiment, the outer contour of the connecting portion 32 is rectangular and flat, reducing manufacturing complexity while increasing current carrying capacity and reducing the effective area of the current loop, thereby lowering inductance. In another embodiment, a hollow portion 33 is provided in the middle of the connecting portion 32, extending through the connecting portion 32 in an annular shape. While ensuring structural stability, the hollow portion 33 forms a heat dissipation channel, thereby reducing thermal stress and improving heat dissipation efficiency.
[0064] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the connecting portion 32 is substantially flush with the top surface of the chip 4. Figure 7, a first height H1 from the bottom of the package substrate 1 to the bottom of the connecting portion 32 is greater than or equal to a second height H2 from the bottom of the base 2 to the top of the chip 4 to further compact the structure.
[0065] The frame portion 31 is provided with a contact area 311 and a non-contact area 312. In the extension direction of the frame portion 31, the contact area 311 and the non-contact area 312 are arranged at intervals, and the thickness H3 of the contact area 311 is greater than the thickness H4 of the non-contact area 312. In one embodiment, the thickness H4 of the non-contact area 312 is 0. The contact area 311 is located directly above the first electrical channel 111 of the packaging substrate 1 and extends to the top of the packaging substrate 1, connecting with the packaging substrate 1 to form a conductive surface. The frame portion 31 is processed by half etching, so that the non-contact area 312 forms a half-etched area (not marked) on the bottom surface of the packaging substrate 1, and a hollow structure is formed between the non-contact area 312 and the top of the packaging substrate 1, thereby optimizing the utilization rate of the material and reducing the overall weight of the semiconductor device. The hollow structure has the function of heat dissipation, which can improve the heat dissipation efficiency. Preferably, the number of the non-contact areas 312 is greater than or equal to two to facilitate injection molding.
[0066] Furthermore, the width L2 of the contact area 311 of the frame portion 31 is less than or equal to the width L3 of the pad on the package substrate 1 for mounting the frame portion 31 , so as to ensure reliable connection between the frame portion 31 and the package substrate 1 .
[0067] By setting the electrical connector 3, the electrode on the top of the chip 4 is electrically connected to the first electrical pin 12 in sequence through the connecting portion 32 and the frame portion 31 of the electrical connector 3 and the first electrical channel 111 of the first wiring layer 11 of the packaging substrate 1.
[0068] Preferably, if Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the conductive area S1 between the electrical connector 3 and the top of the chip 4 is greater than or equal to 50% of the conductive area S2 between the electrode at the bottom of the chip 4 and the base 2, and / or the side length L1 of the electrical connector 3 is greater than or equal to 50% of the width L2 of the frame portion 31 to ensure the flow of large current.

A fourth electrode is provided on the top of the second chip 42, and a fifth electrode and a sixth electrode are provided on the bottom. The first electrode and the fourth electrode have the same electrical properties, the second electrode and the fifth electrode have the same electrical properties, and the third electrode and the sixth electrode have the same electrical properties. The bottoms of the first chip 41 and the second chip 42 are directly bonded to the base 2 based on a conductive medium. The base 2 serves as a heat dissipation base to directly dissipate heat from the first chip 41 and the second chip 42, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.
[0070] The first electrical path 111 is provided with a pad, and the first electrode on the top of the first chip 41 and / or the second chip 42 is electrically connected to the pad of the first electrical path 111 via the electrical connector 3. Using the electrical connector 3 instead of traditional wire bonding can effectively increase current carrying capacity, reduce parasitic resistance in the loop between the chip and the package substrate, and thus reduce parasitic induction at the connection point.
[0071] The first pad 23A is electrically connected to the second electrode of the first chip 41, the second pad 23B is electrically connected to the fourth electrode of the second chip 42, and the second electrode and the fourth electrode are interconnected via the third wiring layer 22. The fifth electrode of the second chip 42 is attached to the third pad 23C, and the sixth electrode of the second chip 42 is attached to the fourth pad 23D. The third pad 23C is connected to the third electrical pin 25 via the third electrical path 212, and the fourth pad 23D is connected to the fourth electrical pin 26 via the fourth electrical path 213. The second wiring layer 21 is electrically connected to the third electrical pin 25 and the fourth electrical pin 26 respectively via the third electrical path 212 and the fourth electrical path 213. The third electrical pin 25 and the fourth electrical pin 26 are then connected to an external circuit, thereby effectively shortening the length of the electrical connection lines within the semiconductor package, simplifying the circuit layout of the semiconductor package, and achieving a compact package for the semiconductor package. The third wiring layer 22 is electrically connected between the third electrode of the first chip 41 and the fifth electrode of the second chip 42 .
[0072] Furthermore, a capacitor 5 is mounted between the third pad 23C and the fourth pad 23D, so that the capacitor 5 is connected between the fifth electrode and the sixth electrode, filtering the loop where the second chip 41 is located, thereby reducing the parasitic effects of the loop where the second chip 7 is located, and at the same time reducing the risk of high-frequency noise generated by the package during fast switching.
[0073] Furthermore, the second electrode of the first chip 41 and the fourth electrode of the second chip 42 form an interlaced electrical connection based on the third wiring layer 22; the third electrode of the first chip 41 and the fifth electrode of the second chip 42 are electrically connected based on the third wiring layer 22; the fifth electrode of the second chip 42 is connected to the external circuit through the third electrical pin 25, and the sixth electrode of the second chip 42 is connected to the external circuit through the fourth electrical pin 26, thereby forming a Kelvin bridge circuit connection on the line connection of the second chip 42, which can realize fast switching control of the high-power semiconductor package.
[0074] In this embodiment, the first electrode of the first chip 41 is the drain electrode, located at the top and connected to the electrical connector 3. The second electrode is the gate electrode of the first chip 41. The fourth electrode is the source electrode of the second chip 42. The second and fourth electrodes are interconnected via the first and second pads 23A and 23B. The fifth electrode is the gate electrode of the second chip 42. The capacitor 5 is a thin film capacitor such as a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) or a silicon-based capacitor, and is mounted to the base 2 via flip-chip or conductive adhesive.
[0075] Also, see Figure 11 The present invention further provides a semiconductor package comprising a plurality of the aforementioned semiconductor devices arranged in a panelized form. The electrical connectors 3 are mounted on corresponding positions of the assembled panelized structure of the package substrate 1 and the base 2. The semiconductor package is obtained by mounting the plurality of electrical connectors 3 one-to-one on the panelized structure and then performing a plastic encapsulation process. The plastic encapsulation process is then performed to fill the top of the chip 4. Finally, the semiconductor package is segmented using a laser segmentation device or the like to obtain the plurality of semiconductor devices, thereby improving the production efficiency of the semiconductor package.
