[0053] See also Figures 1 to 6 The present application proposes an example of a full-bridge packaging structure of multiple chips in parallel, including a DBC substrate 1, wherein the DBC substrate 1 is provided with a circuit layer 4 formed by two groups of symmetrically arranged copper foil areas 4L and 4R, and a single copper foil area includes a negative DC- copper foil 42, an AC copper foil 43 of a lower bridge, and a DC+ copper foil 41 of an upper bridge.

In this example, the two groups of copper foil areas 4L and 4R may be arranged symmetrically in the length direction of the ceramic substrate 2, and the copper foil areas may be divided into the following: Figure 1 The copper foil area 4L and the copper foil area 4R in the . A single copper foil area includes a negative DC-copper foil 42, an AC copper foil 43 of the lower bridge, and a DC+copper foil 41 of the upper bridge, wherein the AC copper foil 43 of the lower bridge and the DC+copper foil 41 of the upper bridge can be arranged relative to each other, and the negative DC-copper foil 42 can be arranged between the AC copper foil 43 of the lower bridge and the DC+copper foil 41 of the upper bridge; in this example, the DC-copper foil 42 includes a first DC-copper foil 42L and a second DC-copper foil 42R, wherein one copper foil area 4L is the first DC-copper foil 42L, and the other copper foil area 4R is the second DC-copper foil 42R.

In this example, by symmetrically arranging the two groups of copper foil areas 4L and 4R, on the one hand, it is convenient to integrate multiple chips on the DBC substrate 1 to improve the integration of the circuit; on the other hand, it is convenient to improve the current sharing and heat dissipation performance of the circuit.

In some examples, two groups of copper foil areas can be respectively provided with solder resist 48, and the solder resist 48 can be used to reduce the possibility of solder overflow when soldering on the chip, the resistor and the corresponding copper foil, which helps to reduce electrical short circuits during use.

[0057] In this example, the first part of the N chips 93 of the lower bridge can be symmetrically arranged with the second part of the N chips 94 of the lower bridge; wherein the N chips can be 2 or more, such as Figure 62 chips are shown in the figure. In some examples, the first part of N chips 93 of the lower bridge and the second part of N chips 94 of the lower bridge can all be MOSFET chips.

[0059] In this example, the first part of the N chips 91 of the upper bridge can be symmetrically arranged with the second part of the N chips 92 of the upper bridge; wherein, the N chips can be 2 or more. In some examples, the first part of the N chips 91 of the upper bridge and the second part of the N chips 92 of the upper bridge can both be MOSFET chips. In this example, the first part of the N chips 91 of the upper bridge can be electrically connected to the AC copper foil 43 of one of the copper foil areas 4L by ultrasonic welding or other welding methods, and the second part of the N chips 92 of the upper bridge can be electrically connected to the AC copper foil 43 of another copper foil area 4R by ultrasonic welding or other welding methods.

In this example, a packaging module that is compatible with multiple chips in parallel, has high reliability, high integration and current sharing can be formed.
[0061] In some examples, the full-bridge package structure of multi-chip parallel connection also includes a housing 8, and the DBC substrate 1 and the chip are placed in the housing 8. Optionally, the housing 8 can be a PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) housing. In some examples, epoxy resin 82 is injected into the housing 8, and the epoxy resin 82 can be used to protect the internal components of the module from external contamination. In some examples, the full-bridge package structure of multi-chip parallel connection also includes a copper base plate 81, and the housing 8 can be installed on the copper base plate 81. The housing 8 and the copper base plate 81 can be fixed in position by a combination screw washer screw 83. The number of the combination screw washer screw 83 can be multiple, and at least one of the multiple combination screw washer screws 83 can be set at one end in the length direction of the housing 8, and another combination screw washer screw 83 can be set at the other end in the length direction of the housing 8. In some examples, a protrusion 84 is provided on the housing 8, and the protrusion 84 can be used to facilitate the connection and positioning of the external PCB.
[0062] In some examples, the full-bridge package structure of multi-chip parallel connection also includes an NTC resistor 85 (thermistor), which can be used to detect the temperature when the power module is working, and can generally be used to monitor the health of the power module. In some examples, NTC resistors 85 can be respectively set on the two groups of copper foil areas 4L and 4R, and the NTC resistors 85 on the two groups of copper foil areas 4L and 4R can be symmetrically arranged. In some examples, the full-bridge package structure of multi-chip parallel connection also includes an NTC resistor drive terminal 76, and the NTC resistor 85 can be electrically connected to the NTC resistor drive terminal 76. Optionally, the NTC resistor drive terminal 76 corresponds to the number of NTC resistors 85, and optionally, the NTC resistor drive terminal 76 includes a first NTC resistor drive terminal 761 and a second NTC resistor drive terminal 762, and the NTC resistors 85 of the two groups of copper foil areas 4L and 4R respectively have corresponding first NTC resistor drive terminals 761 and second NTC resistor drive terminals 762. In some examples, the copper foil area further includes an NTC resistor copper foil 47 . The NTC resistor copper foil 47 may correspond to the position of the NTC resistor 85 , and the NTC resistor driving terminal 76 may be electrically connected to the NTC resistor copper foil 47 .
[0063] In some examples, the packaging process includes the following steps:
[0064] S1: preparing a corresponding DBC substrate 1 according to the structure of the power module to be packaged, etching to form a circuit layer 4, and then performing a surface nickel plating treatment;
[0065] S2: soldering or sintering the power chip, the gate drive resistor 6 and the NTC resistor 85 to the corresponding copper foil positions using solder;
[0066] S3: electrically connecting the surface electrode of the power semiconductor chip to the corresponding copper foil of the copper foil layer through a wire bonding process;
[0067] S4: Using solder to perform secondary welding on the drive terminal, the power terminal and the copper bottom plate 81 at the same time;
[0068] S5: Fix the housing 8 on the copper bottom plate 81, inject the epoxy resin 82 into the housing 8, evacuate the housing 8, and then heat or leave it at room temperature to cure the epoxy resin 82.
[0069] In some examples, the DBC substrate 1 has a first surface and a second surface that are arranged opposite to each other, and the circuit layer 4 is arranged on the first surface; the DBC substrate 1 also includes a lower copper foil 3, and the lower copper foil 3 is arranged on the second surface.
[0070] In this example, the first surface and the second surface are two surfaces arranged opposite to each other. Assuming that the first surface is the upper surface, the second surface can be the lower surface of the DBC substrate 1. The lower copper foil 3 is arranged on the second surface. The lower copper foil 3 in the example of this application can be connected to the heat sink through a thermal interface material, which can play a role in heat conduction.
[0071] In some examples, the area of the second surface is S1, and the area of the lower copper foil 3 is not less than 0.9S1. In this example, the distance between the lower copper foil 3 and the ceramic substrate 2 only needs to meet the minimum insulation gap. By limiting the area of the lower copper foil 3 to be not less than 90% of the area of the second surface, the warping risk of the lower copper foil 3 can be reduced.
[0072] In some examples, a plurality of vias 31 are provided on the lower copper foil 3. The vias 31 can be used to release the thermal stress at the edge of the lower copper foil 3, reduce the stress concentration on the lower copper foil 3, and help improve the reliability of the packaging structure. In this example, the position, aperture and spacing between adjacent holes of the vias 31 can be determined according to the specific situation. In some examples, the vias 31 are distributed in an annular shape near the edge of the lower copper foil 3 to reduce the warping generated at the edge of the lower copper foil 3, which helps to improve the reliability of the lower copper foil 3. The vias 31 in this example are distributed in an annular shape, which means that a plurality of vias 31 can be distributed at intervals along the edge position of the lower copper foil 3, and the distribution trajectory of the plurality of vias 31 is generally annular. In some examples, the center distance between adjacent vias 31 is not less than 0.9 mm, so that the vias 31 have the effect of releasing stress while reducing the influence of the vias 31 on the structural strength of the lower copper foil 3.
[0073] In some examples, the area of the first surface is S2, and the area of the circuit layer 4 is not less than 0.9S2. In this example, the distance between the circuit layer 4 and the ceramic substrate 2 satisfies the minimum insulation gap. By limiting the area of the circuit layer 4 to be not less than 90% of the area of the first surface, the possibility of warping of the circuit layer 4 can be reduced.
[0074] In some examples, the full-bridge package structure of multi-chip parallel connection also includes a terminal 7; the terminal 7 includes a DC+ power terminal 71, a DC- power terminal 72 and an AC power terminal 75; the DC+ power terminal 71 and the DC- power terminal 72 in this example can be used to connect an external circuit respectively. The surface of the terminal 7 in this example can be nickel-plated or gold-plated to improve the resistance of the terminal 7 to moisture, mildew and salt spray to extend the service life. Optionally, the area corresponding to each copper foil area 4L and 4R on the DBC substrate 1 is provided with a DC+ power terminal 71 and a DC- power terminal 72, wherein the DC- power terminal 72 includes a first DC- power terminal 721 and a second DC- power terminal 722, one copper foil area 4L corresponds to the first DC- power terminal 721, and the other copper foil area 4R corresponds to the second DC- power terminal 722, and the DC+ power terminal 71 is electrically connected to the DC+ copper foil 41 of the upper bridge of the corresponding copper foil area 4L; the DC- power terminal 72 is electrically connected to the DC- copper foil 42 of the corresponding copper foil area. In this example, the positions of the DC+ power terminals 71 of the two groups of copper foil areas can be symmetrically arranged, and the positions of the DC- power terminals 72 of the two groups of copper foil areas 4L and 4R can be symmetrically arranged; optionally, the positions of the DC+ power terminals 71 of the two groups of copper foil areas 4L and 4R can be asymmetrically arranged, and the positions of the DC- power terminals 72 of the two groups of copper foil areas 4L and 4R can also be asymmetrically arranged to meet the creepage distance.

[0087] The bonding wire material in the example of this application can be selected from aluminum bonding wire, copper bonding wire or copper tape, etc. The drive circuit adopts a Kelvin structure, which can reduce the negative feedback effect of the common source parasitic inductance on the drive circuit, and help to increase the switching speed. In the related art, a single-tube package with a Kelvin connection requires at least 4 pins, and 8 chips have a total of 32 pins; the wiring pins in this application are only 20, which not only reduces 12 pins, but also adds NTC temperature monitoring.
[0088] See also Fig.10 and Fig.11 In some examples, some of the wiring terminals are first-shaped terminals T2, and some of the wiring terminals are second-shaped terminals T1; in this example, the first-shaped terminals T2 and the second-shaped terminals T1 have different shapes, and the different shapes may include at least one of length, diameter, and cross-sectional shape. In this example, by using the first-shaped terminals T2 and the second-shaped terminals T1 to match, the wiring terminals of a specific shape can be selected as needed to improve the vibration resistance of the overall structure, which helps to improve the strength of the overall structure.
[0089] In some examples, the connection terminal of the first shape terminal T2 is at least partially a bendable structure; the bendable structure means that at least part of the first shape terminal T2 can be bent, so that the first shape terminal T2 can at least partially form a curved shape. Optionally, the first shape terminal T2 in this example can be partially wavy, and the corresponding part of the wavy structure can have greater bending performance, so that the first shape terminal T2 can be deformed when subjected to force, thereby improving the vibration resistance of the first shape terminal T2.
[0090] In some examples, the diameter of the wiring terminal of the first shape terminal T2 is smaller than the diameter of the wiring terminal of the second shape terminal T1; in this example, the diameter of the first shape terminal T2 is smaller than the second shape terminal T1. As the diameter decreases, the deformability of the first shape terminal T2 can be relatively improved, thereby improving the vibration resistance of the first shape terminal T2.
[0091] In some examples, the length of the connection terminal of the first shape terminal T2 is not less than the length of the connection terminal of the second shape terminal T1. In this example, the length of the first shape terminal T2 is relatively larger, and as the length increases, the deformability of the first shape terminal T2 also increases relatively.

Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present application specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly used in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
