Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power semiconductor device packaging technology, and in particular to a common-drain module packaging structure with double-sided heat dissipation. Background Technology
[0002] As the core of power conversion, the packaging technology of power semiconductor devices is crucial. Traditional packages such as TO-247 and DDPAK generally use wire bonding for electrical connection and single-sided heat dissipation, which has problems such as large parasitic inductance, high thermal resistance, and limited reliability. The parasitic inductance introduced by wire bonding can lead to severe voltage overshoot and electromagnetic interference at high switching frequencies, while the single-sided heat dissipation structure limits the improvement of power density.
[0003] The common-drain pair topology is widely used in battery management systems (BMS) for battery monitoring and protection. Currently, this function is often implemented using two discrete TO-247 packaged devices on a PCB board. However, this approach has drawbacks such as scattered layout, large parasitic inductance (including the device's own inductance and PCB wiring inductance), large size, and low heat dissipation efficiency.
[0004] To address the above problems, there is an urgent need for a solution that can comprehensively optimize parasitic parameters and enhance heat dissipation. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a common-drain module packaging structure with double-sided heat dissipation to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0012] Preferably, the drain copper terminal, the common drain upper copper layer, the two driving gate copper terminals, and the two driving source copper terminals are the same copper sheet with connections before processing. After welding, bonding, and encapsulation are completed, the connection between the drain copper terminal, the two driving gate copper terminals, and the two driving source copper terminals is cut off and bent downwards into a welding terminal.

[0040] This invention provides a dual-sided heat dissipation common-drain module packaging structure. This structure completely replaces traditional power bonding wires by employing copper block interconnect technology, soldering the drains of two power chips together on a large-area copper layer on the same drain, achieving electrical connection and top heat dissipation. Simultaneously, the source is connected to the L-shaped source copper layer via a source copper block, serving both as a power terminal and a bottom heat dissipation path, forming a highly efficient and collaborative dual-sided heat dissipation system. The large-area copper layer connection gives the module significant advantages in residual stress, chip stress, solder layer stress distribution, deformation control, and plastic strain accumulation, effectively improving the reliability of the power module. The module layout highly integrates the common-drain pair topology within a compact package. By optimizing chip arrangement and copper layer connections, the power commutation loop is significantly shortened, greatly reducing the module's parasitic inductance. Furthermore, the drive signals are led out from both sides of the chip using a Kelvin connection, effectively reducing the coupling effect between the drive circuit and the power circuit, decreasing the common source inductance, and improving drive stability. The module adopts a compact layout with power units arranged sequentially, which significantly reduces the package size. Its low inductance and low thermal resistance characteristics also provide an effective solution for achieving a common-drain power module with high power density and excellent high-frequency characteristics.
