Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of laser pulse triggered semiconductor devices, in particular to a series-parallel structure of optically isolated driven semiconductor devices. Background Art

[0002] Optically isolated semiconductor devices are semiconductor devices that use light energy technology to control the on and off of semiconductor devices. Traditional semiconductor devices require external trigger voltages to control their on and off, while optically isolated semiconductor devices use optical signals instead of electrical signals to trigger on. Because it uses optical signal triggering, it avoids interference from the main circuit (high voltage, high current) to the control circuit, and is suitable for high-power and high-voltage places where the trigger signal source is highly isolated from the main circuit, such as high-voltage DC transmission equipment, high-power pulse devices, high-voltage nuclear fusion devices, etc.

[0003] Optically isolated semiconductor devices have good performance and reliability in complex environments such as high voltage, high current, and strong electromagnetic fields, and are widely used in strong field fields such as power electronics and pulse power. With the continuous development and maturity of optical isolation drive technology, the application scope of optical isolation drive semiconductor devices will be further expanded, providing more possibilities for improving the performance and energy efficiency of electronic equipment. Optically isolated semiconductor devices are devices controlled by light signals of a certain wavelength. In addition to an anode and a cathode, they also need to be used in conjunction with energy optical fibers and lasers.

[0004] Various types of lasers can be used as trigger light sources, and energy optical fibers are used as transmission media for light sources. In actual application scenarios, energy optical fibers have low transmission efficiency and large losses, so it is necessary to increase the core diameter of the energy optical fibers, and high-power lasers are required as light sources. Optical isolation drives semiconductor devices to enable stable triggering. This undoubtedly increases the waste of space utilization and increases the cost of use.

The output end of the laser diode array PCB board 15 is adapted to the through hole 19, and the cathode metal electrode 13 and the cathode metal extension 17 are fixed by a fastening screw 18.

[0036] Among them, the metallized ceramic package 10 includes a ceramic part 11 and an anode metal part 16.

[0037] Among them, the anode of the semiconductor device 12 is attached to the anode metal part 16, and the cathode of the semiconductor device 12 is attached to the cathode metal electrode 13.

[0038] With the above solution, the laser diode array PCB board 15 is driven by pre-inputting a trigger signal. A laser diode is used as the light source of the semiconductor device 12. By using the received optical signal from the laser diode array PCB board 15, the semiconductor device 12 can be driven without a transmission optical fiber and a high-power laser, significantly reducing the application cost of optically isolated driving of semiconductor devices and improving the economy of optically isolated driving of semiconductor devices.

[0039] In addition, an optical window is provided on the semiconductor device 12, and the optical windows are evenly distributed on the cathode of the semiconductor device 12. The through hole 19 is adapted to the optical window, and the diameter of the through hole 19 is larger than the diameter of the optical window.

[0040] Specifically, there are optical windows on the semiconductor device 12, which are evenly distributed on the cathode of the semiconductor device 12. And a step for installing the laser diode array PCB board 15 and a through hole 19 that is aligned and slightly larger than the optical window are machined on the upper part of the cathode metal electrode 13.

[0042] In addition, the laser diode array PCB board 15 is arranged with special laser diodes according to the shape and size of the optical window to ensure that the light emitted by the laser diodes can completely cover the optical window of the laser diode.

Its function is to protect the laser diode array PCB board 15 when optically isolated driving semiconductor devices are connected in series or parallel, and can also be used as a connecting part for series and parallel connections, providing hole positions for installation and wiring.

[0044] In addition, for the above-mentioned fastening screw 18, an internal hexagonal cylindrical head M5 standard metal screw can be used to connect the cathode metal electrode 13 and the cathode metal extension part 17.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] As Figures 5 - 7 shown, Embodiment 3 of the present invention is as follows:

And for the optically isolated drive semiconductor devices 1 that are electrically connected, metal electrode plates 7 are installed at the input end and the output end respectively. Between the metal electrode plate 7 and the fixture metal plate 5, there is an insulator 6. On one side of the optically isolated drive semiconductor device 1, drive plates 8 are electrically connected respectively. The several drive plates 8 are fixedly connected through support columns 9 respectively.

[0048] In this technical solution, the optically isolated drive semiconductor devices 1 are connected in series and parallel by using a customized fixture. Stainless steel materials with a certain thickness are used as the fixture metal plates 5 up and down. The several optically isolated drive semiconductor devices 1 are connected by series - parallel metal plates 2.
