DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] like Figure 1-5As shown, the power module packaging structure of the embodiment of the present invention includes: a first insulating layer 10, a first metal etching layer 20, a first chip 30, a drain electrical connection bridge 40, a source electrical connection bridge 50, a gate pillar 60, a second metal etching layer 70, and a second insulating layer 80, wherein the first insulating layer 10 is provided with a first connection hole 11; the first metal etching layer 20 is connected to the first insulating layer 10, and the first metal etching layer 20 includes a closed connection area 21 and an open connection area 22 spaced apart, wherein the upper surface of the closed connection area 21 is covered by the first insulating layer 10, and a portion of the upper surface of the open connection area 22 is exposed through the first connection hole 11, so that the power module packaging structure is electrically connected to the external circuit; the first chip 30 includes a drain, a source and a gate; the drain The electrical connection bridge 40 is used to connect the drain of the first chip 30 and a connection area of ​​the first metal etching layer 20; the source electrical connection bridge 50 is used to connect the source of the first chip and another connection area of ​​the first metal etching layer 20; the gate column 60 is connected to the gate of the first chip 30; the second metal etching layer 70 includes a power port 71 and a control port 72, the power port 71 is connected to the source electrical connection bridge 50, and the control port 72 is connected to the gate column 60; the second insulating layer 80 includes a bump 81 and the second insulating layer 80 is provided with a second connection hole 82 and a third connection hole 83, the bump 81 is used to insulate the power port 71 from the control port 72, the position of the second connection hole 82 corresponds to the power port 71, and the position of the third connection hole 83 corresponds to the control port 72.

[0033] It is understandable that Figure 1 It only represents one connection method between the drain electrical connection bridge 40, the source electrical connection bridge 50 and the first metal etching layer 20. When the drain electrical connection bridge 40 connected to the drain of the first chip 30 is connected to the open connection area 22, the source electrical connection bridge 50 connected to the source of the first chip 30 is connected to the closed connection area 21; when the drain electrical connection bridge 40 connected to the drain of the first chip 30 is connected to the closed connection area 21, the source electrical connection bridge 50 connected to the source of the first chip 30 is connected to the open connection area 22. The power module packaging module may also include other components, which can be electrically connected to the first chip 30 through the closed connection area 21.

[0034] The first chip 30 may be a wide bandgap semiconductor, such as silicon carbide. The first chip 30 may also be a silicon semiconductor, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0035] The power module packaging structure of the embodiment of the present invention uses a drain electrical connection bridge 40 and a source electrical connection bridge 50 to replace traditional bonding aluminum wires and copper wires to connect the first chip 30 and the first metal etching layer 20, which can effectively reduce the package parasitic inductance; since connection holes are provided on the first insulating layer 10 and the second insulating layer 80, the first metal etching layer 20 and the second metal etching layer 70 can be partially exposed from the first insulating layer 10 and the second insulating layer 80 to achieve double-sided heat dissipation, which not only improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the power module, but also can be connected to the external circuit, facilitating the integration of more external components to achieve better working performance; the components inside the power module packaging structure are all arranged between the first insulating layer 10 and the second insulating layer 80, which reduces the package volume while improving the power density.

[0036] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the upper surface of the drain electrical connection bridge 40 can be connected to the lower surface of the first metal etching layer 20 through the first solder layer 90 .

[0037] like Figure 6-8 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first upper surface of the source electrical connection bridge 50 can be connected to the lower surface of the first metal etching layer 20 through the second solder layer 100; the source of the first chip 30 can be connected to the second upper surface of the source electrical connection bridge 50 through the third solder layer 110.

[0038] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the gate pillar 60 may be connected to the gate of the first chip 30 through the fourth solder layer 120 .

[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, the solder layer may be solder paste printed on the metal etching layer, the electrical connection bridge, the gate pillar 60 or the first chip 30 .

[0040] In another embodiment of the present invention, the solder layer may be a prefabricated solder layer disposed on the metal etching layer, the electrical connection bridge, the gate pillar 60 or the first chip 30 , which can achieve high-precision welding.

[0041] like Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a gate hole 51 may be provided on the source electrical connection bridge 50. There is a gap between the gate hole 51 and the gate pillar 60. The gate pillar 50 is connected to the gate of the first chip 30 through the gate hole 51. The provision of the gate hole 51 can prevent solder splashes from the first chip 30 during soldering and landing on the connection area of ​​the source electrical connection bridge 50, causing a short circuit.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, the power module packaging structure may include first to Nth chips, and the drain electrical connection bridge 40 and the source electrical connection bridge 50 corresponding to the same chip are respectively connected to different connection areas in the first metal etching layer 20, where N is an integer greater than 1.

[0043] like Figure 10 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the drain electrical connection bridge connected to the i-th chip and the source electrical connection bridge connected to the i-1-th chip can be electrically connected through the same connection area in the first metal etching layer 20, where i is an integer greater than 1 and less than or equal to N.

[0044] It can be understood that the i-th chip is not only electrically connected to the i-1-th chip through the same connection area in the first metal etching layer 20, but the i-th chip can also be electrically connected to other chips through the same connection area in the first metal etching layer 20. Therefore, the electrical connection between different chips does not require other bonding wires, which effectively reduces the package parasitic inductance and improves the power density of the power module packaging structure.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, the power module packaging structure may further include an epoxy insulation layer, which fills the internal gaps of the power module packaging structure. The epoxy insulation layer can not only fill the relative gaps between the first insulation layer 10 and the second insulation layer 80 to achieve electrical isolation, but also protect and fix the power module packaging structure.
