[0026] Embodiment 1:

[0027] An ultra-thin matrix Schottky rectifier module includes a Schottky chip 1; it also includes a bottom plate 2, a connecting plate 3, and a connecting bar 4. The bottom plate 2, the connecting plate 3, and the connecting bar 4 can all conduct electricity as a whole or partially conduct electricity as a whole. Conducting electricity as a whole means that the whole is made of conductive materials, and partially conducting electricity as a whole means that a part of the whole is made of conductive materials; two rows of connecting plates 3 are arranged on the bottom plate 2, and each row of connecting plates 3 includes at least one connecting plate 3, forming a 2*n matrix. In this example, each row of connecting plates 3 includes two connecting plates 3; each row of connecting plates 3 is also correspondingly connected to a connecting bar 4, and the two connecting bars 4 are respectively arranged above the two rows of connecting plates 3; the Schottky chips 1 are arranged in rows on the bottom plates 2 on both sides of the connecting plates 3, and the row direction of the Schottky chips 1 is the same as the row direction of the connecting plates 3; the Schottky chips 1 are also electrically connected to the connecting plates 3.

[0028] The bottom plate 2 is made of copper, the length of the bottom plate 2 is 90mm~110mm, and the width of the bottom plate 2 is 50mm~70mm. In this example, the length and width of the bottom plate 2 are 103.8mm long*58.8mm. The thickness of the bottom plate 2 is 3mm~5mm, and the area on the bottom plate 2 for setting the Schottky chip 1 is also provided with a nickel-plated layer, and an additional layer of solder resist is covered on the nickel-plated layer to prevent the solder of the Schottky chip 1 from melting and causing solder interference and interconnection to the adjacent Schottky chips 1, thereby ensuring the thickness of the tin layer of the Schottky chip 1 soldered, thereby ensuring that the horizontal height of the Schottky chip 1 after soldering is the same, and ensuring that each Schottky chip 1 can evenly pass current and dissipate heat during operation.

[0029] The upper surface of the Schottky chip 1 is connected to the connecting plate 3 through a thick aluminum wire 11. The wire diameter of the thick aluminum wire 11 is 15mil~20mil; in this example, five Schottky chips 1 are respectively arranged on both sides of each connecting plate 3, and each connecting plate 3 is connected to ten Schottky chips 1; the interval between the Schottky chips 1 located on the same side of the same connecting plate 3 is at least 0.8mm; forty Schottky chips 1 are correspondingly arranged on four connecting plates 3, wherein each Schottky chip 1 is a 100A chip, and forty parallel Schottky chips 1 mean that they can withstand a current of 4000A. Combined with the length and width of the bottom plate 2 of 103.8mm*58.8mm, the current density of the bottom plate 2 is calculated to be about 0.66A / mm 2 .

[0030] The connecting plate 3 is a ceramic copper-clad plate; wherein the ceramic base is insulated and the copper plate thereon is conductive; one side of the ceramic in the connecting plate 3 is in contact with the bottom plate 2 at the bottom, and one side of the copper plate faces upward.

[0031] The connecting strip 4 is made of copper, and the surface of the connecting strip 4 is silver-plated; in some other embodiments, nickel plating, tin plating or gold plating can also be selected; the plating layer remains smooth, and the roughness range of the plating layer surface is Ra0.2~0.3; the large area of silver-plated copper strip is welded with the ceramic copper-clad plate to reduce the contact thermal resistance, and the ultrasonic bonding process of 20mil thick aluminum wire is used to reduce the tube voltage drop of the module from 0.9V to 0.7V, which is reduced by 0.2V. Under high-power operating conditions, the heat loss caused by the reduction of 0.2V can reduce P=U*I=0.2V*4000A=800W, which has good economic and energy-saving benefits. The thickness of the connecting strip 4 is at least 1mm, and in this case it is 1.2mm. The connecting strip 4 is also provided with a connection hole 41 for connecting an external circuit; in this case, the cross section of the connecting strip 4 perpendicular to its length direction is "U" or "匚" shaped, and the opening side of the connecting strip 4 is opposite, and the upper surface of the connecting strip 4 is provided with a connection hole 41.

[0032] The housing also includes a shell 5 and a drawer cover shell 6; the drawer cover shell 6 is in the shape of a square plate, and the drawer cover shell 6 is slidably arranged between the two connecting strips 4; the drawer cover shell 6 is also provided with a mounting hole 61 corresponding to the connecting hole 41 on the connecting strip 4, and a nut 63 is arranged in the mounting hole 61, so that the connection structure of the external circuit passes through the connecting hole 41 on the connecting strip 4 and is connected with the thread in the mounting hole to realize the connection between the external circuit and the connecting strip 4; the shell 5 is arranged on the bottom plate 2, and the shell 5 covers the Schottky chip 1 on the bottom plate 2; the upper surface of the shell 5 is also provided with a hollow hole 51 for exposing the upper surface of the connecting strip 4, and the upper surface of the connecting strip 4 is exposed to the outside of the shell 5 from the hollow hole 51 on the shell 5. In this example, the two sides of the shell 5 are connected and fixed to the drawer cover shell 6 by screws 52. In this example, the upper surface of the drawer cover shell 6 is also provided with a raised strip structure 62, and the strip structure 62 is sandwiched between the upper surfaces of the two connecting strips 4 to separate the two connecting strips 4.

[0033] During the implementation process, by setting up a fully symmetrical arrangement of Schottky chips 1, it is ensured that each Schottky chip 1 can withstand the same current, achieve uniform heat dissipation, and ensure its stable operation; by setting the connecting bar 4 to be a "U" or "匚" shape, and setting a drawer shell 6 between the connecting bars 4, it is possible to achieve connection with an external circuit. Compared with the traditional connection method of setting sheet electrodes or block electrodes, the overall height of the module is greatly reduced, making the overall volume of the module smaller and having a higher power density; by silver-plating the surface of the connecting bar 4, it is more conducive to current transmission than traditional electrodes, and the overall surge current resistance of the module is improved; by additionally covering the nickel-plated layer of the base plate 2 with a layer of solder resist film, it is ensured that the welded Schottky chip 1 can work stably.

[0034] The above description is only a specific example of the utility model and does not constitute any limitation to the utility model. Obviously, for professionals in this field, after understanding the content and principle of the utility model, it is possible to make various modifications and changes in form and details without departing from the principle and structure of the utility model, but these modifications and changes based on the idea of the utility model are still within the scope of protection of the claims of the utility model.
