Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of inductance power modules, in particular to an integrated Pinfin laminated low-inductance power module. Background Art

[0002] Power electronics technology occupies a very important position in today's rapidly developing industrial field. As a representative of power electronics technology, power electronics power modules have been widely used in electric vehicles, photovoltaic power generation, wind power generation, industrial frequency conversion and other industries. With the rise of my country's industry, power electronics power modules have a broader market prospect. The existing power electronics power module packaging is large in size and heavy in weight, which does not meet the requirements of high power density and lightweight in the fields of electric vehicles, aerospace, etc. The vigorous development of electric vehicles in recent years has driven the update and iteration of power module packaging technology. The goals pursued by various packaging technologies are higher power density, higher heat dissipation efficiency, higher reliability and lower cost; during use, a Pinfin heat sink is required for heat dissipation.

[0003] The single-sided and double-sided heat dissipation modules widely used in the market have a heat dissipation path that, in terms of structural design, welds or presses the copper-clad insulating substrate with a layout and the Pinfin. Since the copper-clad insulating substrate and solder layer or thermal grease are additionally introduced between the chip and the Pinfin, this design is difficult to further reduce the thermal resistance; at the same time, since the structure restricts the optimization of the layout, the total inductance is too large, which in turn increases the heat generation; in view of this, we propose a stacked low-inductance power module with an integrated Pinfin.

[0006] Optionally, the upper surface of the integrated insulating substrate is partially interconnected with both the upper conductive layer of the copper-clad insulating substrate and the lower conductive layer of the copper-clad insulating substrate.

[0007] Optionally, an upper conductive layer of a copper-clad insulating substrate is fixed on the side wall of the integrated insulating substrate, and the second lower conductive layer of the copper-clad insulating substrate is electrically connected to the upper conductive layer of the copper-clad insulating substrate.
