Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to an insulated gate bipolar transistor. Background Art

[0002] The inverter is a key component of the car. The main semiconductor chip used is IGBT. The inverter always operates in a similar way. Its design should minimize switching losses and maximize thermal efficiency. IGBT is the core electronic device of the electric vehicle inverter, and its importance is similar to the CPU in a computer.

[0003] IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor): Insulated gate bipolar transistor, which combines the advantages of MOS's high input impedance and GTR's low on-state voltage drop. GTR has a low saturation voltage drop, but a large driving current, while MOS has a very small driving power but a large on-state voltage drop. In existing insulated gate bipolar transistors, they are generally single-chip structures. Therefore, under the same current and voltage conditions, single-chip IGBTs may have larger switching losses. Once a chip fails, the entire device may need to be replaced, reducing the reliability of the device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to solve the shortcomings in the prior art and proposes an insulated gate bipolar transistor.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] An insulated gate bipolar transistor comprises a transistor module, wherein bare copper is arranged at the center of the transistor module, an A chip and a B chip are arranged below the bare copper and on the transistor module, respectively, a collector lead and a gate lead are arranged in sequence at the bottom of the transistor module, the A chip and the collector lead are connected by a first aluminum wire, and the A chip and the gate lead are connected by a second aluminum wire.

[0007] Preferably, a third aluminum wire is connected between the A chip and the gate lead, and the center point of the third aluminum wire is fixedly connected to the B chip.

[0008] Preferably, an emitter lead is connected between the collector lead and the gate lead.

[0009] Preferably, the size of the first aluminum wire is 5 mil, and the sizes of the second aluminum wire and the third aluminum wire are 15 mil.

[0010] Preferably, the outer surfaces of the collector lead, the gate lead and the emitter lead are sheathed with insulating sheathed wires.

[0011] Preferably, the thickness of the A chip and the B chip is 65um±5um.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0013] The insulated gate bipolar transistor adopts a dual-chip structure. Under the conditions of the same current and voltage, the dual-chip IGBT has smaller switching losses, thereby achieving greater power handling capacity and improving power density in the case of the same size, which is beneficial to achieving greater power output in a limited space. At the same time, the dual-chip structure can ensure that when one part of the chip is damaged, the other part can still be used, thereby improving overall reliability.

[0014] In the equivalent circuit model diagram of the insulated gate bipolar transistor, a PNP transistor is connected in series with a MOS tube, so that the PNP transistor provides current enhancement, accelerates the injection and discharge of charges, helps to reduce the rise and fall time of the voltage and current during the switching process, thereby improving the switching speed of the device. The PNP transistor also helps to reduce the conduction voltage drop of the MOS tube and improves the conduction characteristics of the device. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
