[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of them. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 6 The schematic diagram of the structure of a power electronic packaging module with 8 pins of the first embodiment is disclosed. The module includes a substrate 1, a wafer 2, a terminal 3 and a packaging shell 9; the terminals 3 are distributed in 8 numbers, and the terminals 3 are divided into power pins 4 and signal pins 5 according to the functional type, and can be assembled into either a surface mount welding terminal 6 or a direct plug-in pin terminal 7 according to the application type. Figures 1 to 6 In the embodiment shown, the soldering terminal 6 is mounted. The substrate 1 is embedded in the package shell 9, one end of the terminal 3 is soldered on the substrate 1, and the other end extends out of the package shell 9 to form a pin, such as a power pin 4 or a signal pin 5. The front of the substrate 1 is an etched circuit layer 8, and the wafer 2 is assembled on the front of the substrate 1 by solder paste adhesive.
[0031] The terminal 3 is flat, and the side surface of one end thereof is flatly attached to the front surface of the substrate 1 near the edge of the substrate 1 and welded and fixed, and the part behind the flatly attached welded part is folded upwards to the substrate 1, so that the other end of the terminal 3 extends away from the front surface of the substrate 1 until it is exposed to the outside of the packaging shell 9 to form a pin for assembly.
[0032] The pins formed by the eight terminals in this embodiment include three power pins 4 and five signal pins 5, and the power pins 4 are located on one side of the package shell and are evenly spaced, and the signal pins 5 are located on the other side of the package shell. Figure 1 , 2 In the embodiment shown, one power pin 4 is distributed in the middle of four signal pins 5. In this embodiment, the thickness of the power pin 4 and the signal pin 5 are both 0.5 mm. When the terminal 3 is a surface mounted welding terminal 6, the width of the power pin 4 is greater than the width of the signal pin 5, and the width of the power pin 4 is 2 mm, and the width of the signal pin 5 is 1 mm.
[0033] like Figure 1-6As shown, when the terminal 3 is a mounted welding terminal 6, the power pin 4 and the signal pin 5 exposed outside the packaging shell 9 are both reverse bending parts, and the ends of the power pin 4 and the signal pin 5 have a half-etched groove 10. The depth of the half-etched groove 10 is half of the thickness of the terminal 3 0.5 mm, and the overall width is consistent with the width of the terminal 3.
[0034] Terminal 3 is a sheet metal stamping part formed by stamping, and is made of copper material with excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. In order to prevent the copper material from coming into contact with the external environment and causing oxidation, the surface is nickel-plated in advance during stamping, or the terminal 3 is tin-plated during the surface electroplating process of the finished packaging module, thereby forming an anti-oxidation coating.
[0035] The substrate 1 is preferably made of a material with high thermal conductivity, for example, the thermal conductivity should be greater than 100 W / (m*K). Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the material of the substrate 1 is a copper-clad ceramic substrate 11, and the ceramic substrate used as the substrate is an aluminum nitride substrate, and its thermal conductivity is 200W / (m*K). The substrate 1 is located at the top upper position inside the packaging shell 9, and its front and back sides are both etched copper foils, and the front and back areas are consistent in size. The power pins 4 and the signal pins 5 are connected to the etched circuit layer 8 of the front copper foil, and the copper foil on the back is a planar heat dissipation copper foil 13, surrounded by 56 stress release holes 14. The planar heat dissipation copper foil 13 is exposed on the top of the packaging shell 9, so that the copper-clad ceramic substrate 11 is packaged to form a semi-encapsulated module, with a ceramic layer 15 in the middle, and the area of the ceramic layer must be larger than the area of the copper foil on both sides. After packaging, Figure 4 shown.
[0036] To prevent oxidation contamination, nickel can be plated on the planar heat dissipation copper foil 13 in advance to form an anti-oxidation metal film. If nickel plating is not performed, copper protective agent can be added during the electroplating process on the surface of the terminal 3 of the packaging module to prevent oxidation contamination.
[0037] If the substrate 1 is made of an insulating substrate 12 of other materials, such as a copper substrate with better thermal conductivity in this embodiment, the thermal conductivity coefficient can reach 400W / (m*K), then the structure is as follows Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the top layer of the etched circuit layer 8 is covered with a solder resist layer, the middle layer is an insulating layer 16, the thickness of the etched circuit layer 8 is half of the insulating layer 16, the bottom layer is a copper plate 17 with excellent heat dissipation performance, and the thickness of the bottom layer is 15-20 times the thickness of the insulating layer 16. The area of the etched circuit layer 8 is slightly smaller than the overall area of the insulating layer 16, and the overall area of the insulating layer 16 and the bottom layer are consistent. The copper substrate is embedded in the packaging shell 9 without being exposed to form a fully encapsulated module.
[0038] In the fully encapsulated module, the packaging shell 9 is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped with a parting line on the rectangular parallelepiped. The plastic sealing body at the upper end of the parting line is larger than the plastic sealing body at the lower end of the parting line. The four sides of the rectangular parallelepiped have 5-10° draft angles, which extend from the parting line to the top and bottom of the packaging shell 9. Four circular ejector pin prints 18 and one rectangular ejector pin print 19 are distributed at the bottom of the packaging shell 9 for easy demolding. The entire packaging shell 9 is formed by wrapping with epoxy resin.
[0039] The wafer 1 and the terminal 3 are assembled and welded on the substrate 1 by means of an adhesive, the adhesive being a solder paste solder infrared reflow sintering assembly, the assembly position being an etching circuit layer 8 on the top layer of the substrate 1, the electrodes of the wafer 1 are connected to the substrate 1 by aluminum binding wires, and the internal circuit functions are then led out by welding the substrate 1 and the terminal 3.
[0040] According to the layout of the etching circuit 8 on the top layer of the substrate 1, the wafer 2 can be constructed as a half-bridge module circuit or a full-bridge module circuit application. According to the thermal conductivity and circuit application of the substrate 1 type, the type of wafer 2 can be selected from three types of silicon-based wafers, silicon carbide wafers and gallium nitride wafers for circuit assembly applications.
[0041] Figure 7 The second embodiment shown is a packaging structure diagram of a power electronic module with a direct plug-in pin terminal. Figures 1 to 6 The features are the same as above, the only difference is that Figure 7 The 8 terminals in the module are straight-in pin terminals. Figures 1 to 6 The embodiment shown is a surface mounted solder terminal. Figure 8 The internal structure of this embodiment can clearly show the structure of the straight-plug pin terminal, in which the extension direction of the pin is perpendicular to the surface of the substrate.
[0042] Fig. 9 The third embodiment shown is a power electronic module with 7 pins, all of which are mounted solder terminals. As shown in the figure, one side has 3 power pins 4 arranged at equal intervals, and the other side has 4 signal pins 5.
[0043] Fig.10 The fourth embodiment shown is a 9-pin power electronic module. It can be seen that the width of the power pin 4 can be several times greater than the width of the signal pin 5 .
[0044] Fig.11 , 12 The fifth embodiment shown is a schematic diagram of a power electronic module composed of 10-pin mounting solder terminals, and the power pins and signal pins can be mixedly arranged on the same side.
[0045] Based on this, module structures with more or fewer pins can be derived, which will not be elaborated here.

After completing the electrical binding, the semi-finished module will flow to the molding encapsulation, electroplating surface treatment and rib cutting and forming processes in sequence.
