[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By placing DC+ and DC- power terminals alternately in each power circuit, the current path is effectively reduced. The opposite current flow cancels out mutual inductance, reducing parasitic inductance within the power circuit. Furthermore, the opposite current direction at adjacent power terminals between power circuits effectively reduces parasitic inductance in the power module, thereby reducing switching losses and power consumption, and improving power conversion efficiency. Additionally, two SiC MOSFET chips with opposite commutation directions are placed near each SiC MOSFET chip. Utilizing the principle that the current flowing through the molybdenum blocks on adjacent SiC MOSFET chips flows in opposite directions, when a chip experiences excessive or insufficient current, nearby chips will generate an induced electromotive force, thus changing the chip current magnitude. This improves the current balance between power circuits, balances the aging of each power circuit, and extends the service life of the power module. Attached Figure Description

Specifically, the DC+ power terminal and DC- power terminal of the power circuit in this power module are placed adjacent to each other, using the opposite current flowing through the power terminals to reduce parasitic inductance; the upper SiC MOSFET chip and the lower SiC MOSFET chip are placed adjacent to each other. When an imbalance occurs in the current flowing through a certain silicon carbide chip, the adjacent power circuits generate an induced electromotive force, thereby changing the current magnitude and improving the current balance among the power circuits.

[0036] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention also provide a method for fabricating a low-inductance silicon carbide power module, specifically including: 1) The ceramic substrate is coated with SAC305 solder and silicon carbide power chips are mounted. After the terminals and molybdenum blocks are assembled, the substrate is vacuum soldered, ultrasonically cleaned with ethanol, and dried. 2) The chip gate and Kelvin source are bonded with aluminum wire, and then subjected to two ultrasonic cleaning and drying processes; 3) After the molybdenum block is coated with Sn63Pb37 solder, it is aligned with the component and then cured by vacuum welding; 4) After mixing the AB potting compound, vacuum pot the component, keep it warm to cure, and then cool it. 5) Conduct appearance, electrical, thermal and mechanical performance tests on the modules to ensure they meet the standards.
[0037] More specifically: 1) Solder application and chip mounting / soldering; Fix the first and second ceramic substrates with the metallized surfaces facing upwards. Apply SAC305 high-temperature solder evenly using a stencil, ensuring that the preset soldering area is covered (thickness 0.1-0.15mm) without any missed areas or accumulation. Wipe away any excess solder from the edges of the substrates.
[0038] The silicon carbide power chip is precisely placed in the center of the solder layer using a pick-and-place machine, with a placement pressure of 0.1 MPa and an offset of ≤0.1 mm. The substrate is then placed in a graphite fixture for fixation, and the power terminals, drive terminals, and molybdenum block are placed in sequence, ensuring accurate positioning and no short circuits.
[0039] Push the fixture into the vacuum welding furnace and evacuate the vacuum to ≤5×10⁻⁶. - 3Pa, nitrogen protection flow rate 5L / min: heat to 200℃ at 5℃ / min and hold for 30s, then heat to 250℃ at 3℃ / min and hold for 60s, let it cool naturally to 150℃, then purge with nitrogen to atmospheric pressure, and continue cooling to room temperature (cooling rate ≤4℃ / min).
[0040] Remove the components and place them in 40℃ ethanol. Clean them with ultrasonic cleaning at 40kHz and 300W for 10 minutes. Wipe them dry and then dry them at 60℃ for 15 minutes to remove solder slag and oil.
[0041] 2) Aluminum wire bonding and secondary cleaning; After drying, the components are fixed on the bonding machine table. The chip gate and Kelvin source pins are aligned with a microscope. The automatic bonding machine is equipped with high-purity aluminum wire and bonding is completed according to the preset path: spherical solder joints are formed at the chip pin ends and wedge-shaped solder joints are formed at the terminal ends.
[0042] Place the components in an ultrasonic cleaning device, clean with ethanol for 5 minutes at 200W power, dry for 10 minutes, and check that the aluminum wires are not detached and the solder joints are not faulty.
[0043] 3) Secondary welding of molybdenum blocks; Sn63Pb37 solder is evenly applied to the lower surface of the molybdenum block using a special steel mesh, and the molybdenum block is then precisely placed in the preset position of the component.
[0044] Place it in a vacuum welding furnace, evacuate it, heat it to 200℃ at 4℃ / min and hold for 20s, then heat it to 220℃ and hold for 60s. After it cools naturally to 100℃, purge it with nitrogen to normal pressure and cool it to room temperature.
[0045] Microscopic examination of the weld interface revealed no incomplete welds or porosity, and the molybdenum blocks were tightly bonded without warping.
[0046] 4) Vacuum potting and curing; Mix AB potting compound at a 1:1 mass ratio and stir for 5 minutes. Place the component in a vacuum potting oven and preheat to 40°C.
[0047] Maintain vacuum for 3 minutes, then slowly inject AB glue through a glue gun to ensure complete coverage of the component. Maintain vacuum during the glue injection process.
[0048] Turn off the vacuum system, raise the furnace temperature to 75℃ and hold for 1-2 hours (2 hours if the module thickness is ≥10mm), and allow it to cool naturally to room temperature after curing. Check the potting layer for cracks and bubbles.

[0050] In summary, the embodiments of the present invention have the following advantages over the prior art: 1) A power module is proposed in which DC+ power terminals and DC- power terminals are placed alternately in each power circuit to effectively reduce the current path. The mutual inductance cancels out due to opposite current flow directions, thereby reducing the parasitic inductance in the power circuit. The current directions of adjacent power terminals between power circuits are opposite, which effectively reduces the parasitic inductance of the power module, thereby reducing switching losses and power consumption and improving power conversion efficiency.
[0051] 2) A power module is proposed in which two SiC MOSFET chips with opposite commutation directions are placed near each SiC MOSFET chip. Utilizing the principle that the current flowing through the molybdenum block on the adjacent SiC MOSFET chips is in opposite directions, when a chip experiences excessive or insufficient current, the nearby chips will generate an induced electromotive force, thereby changing the chip current magnitude, improving the current balance between power circuits, balancing the aging of each power circuit, and extending the service life of the power module.
[0052] 3) A power module is proposed that increases the heat dissipation area of the SiC MOSFET chips by symmetrically placing the upper and lower SiC MOSFET chips on different aluminum nitride substrates. An active heat sink is installed on the aluminum nitride substrate, and the chip layout is optimized by placing the chips at equal intervals and ensuring a uniform heat dissipation path. This ensures that each chip has the same thermal coupling, avoids excessive temperature differences between individual chips, optimizes thermal management performance, and improves the reliability of the power module.
