Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of semiconductors, in particular to an ultra-fast recovery IGBT packaging structure and an IGBT device. Background Art
[0002] IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor), an insulated gate bipolar transistor, is a composite fully controlled voltage-driven power semiconductor device composed of a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) and an insulated gate field effect transistor (MOS). It has the advantages of high input impedance of a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) and low on-state voltage drop of a power transistor (Giant Transistor, GTR). GTR has a low saturation voltage drop and a large current density, but a large drive current; MOSFET has a very small drive power and a fast switching speed, but a large on-state voltage drop and a small current density. IGBT combines the advantages of the above two devices, with low drive power and low saturation voltage drop. It is very suitable for use in converter systems with a DC voltage of 600V and above, such as AC motors, inverters, switching power supplies, lighting circuits, traction drives, and other fields.
[0003] The IGBT module includes an IGBT chip and an FRD diode chip, and the IGBT power module generally welds the IGBT chip and the diode chip on a heat dissipation substrate with a circuit, and then electrically connects the electrodes of the chip and the corresponding conductive structures on the circuit through a bonding wire or a bridge such as a CLIP. Among them, the positive and negative electrodes of the diode chip are generally electrically connected to the E pole and C pole of the IGBT chip, so that the diode chip serves as a freewheeling diode of the IGBT module. The diode chip needs to have a high-speed trr characteristic to reduce losses. Specifically, in inverter and motor drive applications using IGBTs, the freewheeling diode is used as a path for the reverse current generated during switching.
[0004] However, conventional IGBT chips are only used as a path for the reverse current generated during switching through a freewheeling diode, and their rapid recovery performance is still poor. For this reason, referring to Chinese patent CN101290927, in existing IGBT devices with freewheeling diodes, a variety of diodes are set to increase the freewheeling and recovery characteristics of the IGBT device, but in its packaging structure, the diodes and the IGBT chip are installed on a circuit board, so that this connection method can only set the diodes in parallel and connect them between the E pole and the C pole of the IGBT chip. The circuit setting is rigid and it is difficult to flexibly adapt to the rapid recovery structure of different IGBT modules, which limits the recovery function of the IGBT module, makes it difficult to flexibly design, and makes wiring difficult. Even gold wires can only be used for electrical connection, making the electrical connection of the IGBT device unstable.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an ultra-fast recovery IGBT packaging structure and an IGBT device that can solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

This solution forms two groups of installation areas for power terminals on the conductive sheet for welding fast recovery diodes, so that the external power terminals are directly connected to the fast recovery diodes to achieve ultra-fast recovery of the IGBT module.
[0010] Specifically, each group of the electrical connection parts includes one or more electrical connection monomers, and each of the electrical connection monomers is a gold wire or a CLIP part. The utility model can use the CLIP part as the electrical connection monomer, and the welding stability is high.

[0013] Specifically, the second group of electrical connectors and the third group of electrical connectors are CLIP parts respectively, and a part of the third group of electrical connectors spans over the second group of electrical connectors, which can effectively save space and has high welding stability.
[0014] Preferably, there are multiple chipsets, and the electrical connection unit includes electrical connection components corresponding to the chipsets, wherein the second group of electrical connection components corresponding to two chipsets are shared, and the third group of electrical connection components are shared.
[0015] Among them, the ultra-fast recovery IGBT packaging structure also includes a sixth conductive plate located on the side of the first conductive plate away from the second conductive plate, and the electrical connection unit includes a fourth group of electrical connectors that electrically connect the G pole of the IGBT chip and the sixth conductive plate together.
