[0026] Embodiment 1

[0027] The first embodiment of the present utility model provides a packaging structure of a power module, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, including: a power substrate 101, and a packaging housing 200 packaged and connected to the power substrate 101. As Figure 3 shown, a three-phase power region is provided on the front metal layer of the power substrate 101. Among them, the three-phase power regions are respectively a U-phase power region, a V-phase power region, and a W-phase power region. Each phase power region includes N power chips 102, and phase current power output pins 103, a first gate pin 104, a second gate pin 105, a first source pin 106, and a second source pin 107 connected to the N power chips 102, and N is a positive even number greater than 3. N is preferably 4 or 6.

[0028] In each phase power region, N power chips 102 include a first power chip group and a second power chip group. The number of power chips 102 in both the first power chip group and the second power chip group is N / 2. The power chips 102 in the first power chip group are connected to the power chips 102 in the second power chip group in a one-to-one correspondence. The phase current power output pin 103, the first gate pin 104, and the first source pin 106 are all connected to the first power chip group, and the second gate pin 105 and the second source pin 107 are both connected to the second power chip group.

[0029] It should be noted that in this embodiment Figures 1-4 , the structure and connection relationship of each phase power region are described with N = 6 power chips 102. In Figure 3 , the pins represented by the letter G are gate pins, and G1, G2, and G3 respectively represent the first gate pins 104 of each phase power region. G1 is the first gate pin 104 of the U-phase power region, G2 is the first gate pin 104 of the V-phase power region, and G3 is the first gate pin 104 of the W-phase power region. G4, G5, and G6 respectively represent the second gate pins 105 of each phase power region. G6 is the second gate pin 105 of the U-phase power region, G5 is the second gate pin 105 of the V-phase power region, and G4 is the second gate pin 105 of the W-phase power region.

[0030] The pins represented by the letter S are source pins, and S1, S2, and S3 respectively represent the first source pins 106 of each phase power region. S1 is the first source pin 106 of the U-phase power region, S2 is the first source pin 106 of the V-phase power region, and S3 is the first source pin 106 of the W-phase power region. S4, S5, and S6 respectively represent the second source pins 107 of each phase power region. S6 is the second source pin 107 of the U-phase power region, S5 is the second source pin 107 of the V-phase power region, and S4 is the second source pin 107 of the W-phase power region.

U is the phase current power output pin 103 of the U-phase power region, V is the phase current power output pin 103 of the V-phase power region, and W is the phase current power output pin 103 of the W-phase power region.

[0031] In this embodiment, through the setting of the packaging structure of the power module, multiple power chips 102 are rationally designed and directly packaged and integrated together, thus realizing the large-scale integration of power devices and improving the reliability and stability of the packaging structure of the power module. In each phase power area, the power chips 102 are embedded in a full-bridge manner, greatly increasing the output power of a single phase area and providing a power module solution for three-phase motor drive above 3kw. Moreover, compared with traditional power devices, the assembly volume of the packaging structure of the power module is greatly reduced, the product process is simplified, and the housing material is saved. In this way, the packaging structure of the power module is highly integrated, the creepage distance is reduced, and it is more conducive to the heat dissipation of the whole device. Compared with the single-tube power chip device arranged on the circuit board, through the packaging structure of the power module in this embodiment, multiple power chips 102 are highly integrated, the internal resistance of the superposition of multiple power chips 102 is reduced, the power consumption of the circuit by multiple chips 102 is reduced, the creepage distance is reduced, and the increase in circuit power consumption caused by the too large internal resistance of multiple power chips 102 and the influence on the operation caused by the too large creepage distance are avoided. Furthermore, to a certain extent, the problems such as uneven power consumption and poor heat dissipation caused by individual differences (small electrical performance differences between single-tube power chips) of single power chip devices, resulting in the failure of single devices are solved.

[0032] Next, in combination with Figures 1-3 elaborate in detail the packaging structure of the power module in this embodiment:

[0033] The power substrate 101 of the present utility model includes a front metal layer, a ceramic layer, and a back metal layer that are stacked in sequence. The power substrate 101 is used for soldering the power chip 102 and dissipating heat from the devices on the power substrate 101. The power chip 102 is electrically connected to the power substrate 101. The power substrate 101 can be selected from substrates with electrical transmission, insulation, and heat dissipation functions. For example, thin film ceramic substrate (TFC), thick film printed ceramic substrate (TPC), direct bonded copper ceramic substrate (DBC), active metal brazing ceramic substrate (AMB), direct plated copper ceramic substrate (DPC), laser activated metallization ceramic substrate (LAM), aluminum substrate, etc. The power substrate of the present utility model preferably uses a ceramic substrate with low cost, good performance, and simple manufacturing process, and is further preferably a DBC ceramic substrate.

[0034] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the first power chip group of each phase power region is located in the first region on the front metal layer, indicating that the first power chip group of each phase power region is located on the same side of the front metal layer. The second power chip group of each phase power region is located in the second region on the front metal layer, indicating that the second power chip group of each phase power region is located on the other side of the front metal layer. The first region and the second region are correspondingly arranged. In this way, the power chips 102 and multiple pins of each phase power region and each phase power region are reasonably and simply distributed, facilitating device wiring, simplifying the packaging structure of the power module, reducing the packaging cost, and reducing the assembly volume of the packaging structure.

[0035] As Figure 4 shown, in the first power chip group of each phase power region, the gates of each power chip 102 in the first power chip group are commonly connected to the first gate pin 104. The sources of each power chip 102 in the first power chip group are commonly connected to the first source pin 106 and the phase current power output pin 103, and the drains of each power chip 102 in the first power chip group are commonly connected. For example, in Figure 4In the first power chip group in the U-phase power region, the gates of each power chip 102 in the first power chip group are commonly connected to the first gate pin 104 (i.e., G1) of the U-phase power region. The sources of each power chip 102 in the first power chip group are commonly connected to the first source pin 106 (i.e., S1) of the U-phase power region and the phase current power output pin 103 (i.e., U) of the U-phase power region. The drains of each power chip 102 in the first power chip group are commonly connected to the positive region pin 108 (i.e., VDD) of the positive region. And so on for the connection relationships of the first power chip groups in the V-phase power region and the W-phase power region.

[0036] As Figure 4 shown, in the second power chip group in each phase power region, the gates of each power chip 102 in the second power chip group are commonly connected to the second gate pin 105. The sources of each power chip 102 in the second power chip group are commonly connected to the second source pin 107. The drain of one power chip 102 in the second power chip group is connected to the source of one power chip 102 in the first power chip group of this phase power region. For example, in Figure 4 the U-phase power region, the gates of each power chip 102 in the second power chip group in the U-phase power region are commonly connected to the second gate pin 105 (i.e., G6) of the U-phase power region. The sources of each power chip 102 in the second power chip group are commonly connected to the second source pin 107 (i.e., S6) of the U-phase power region and are also commonly connected to the negative region pin 109 (i.e., VSS) of the negative region. The drain of one power chip 102 in the second power chip group is connected to the source of one power chip 102 in the first power chip group of the U-phase power region. And so on for the connection relationships of the second power chip groups in the V-phase power region and the W-phase power region.

[0037] Regarding the connection structure settings of the power chips 102 in the first power chip group and the second power chip group in each phase power region, in each phase power region, the power chips 102 are embedded in a full-bridge manner, greatly increasing the output power of a single phase region and providing a power module solution for driving a three-phase motor with a power above 3 kW. In this way, multiple power chips 102 are reasonably designed and directly packaged and integrated together, thus realizing the large-scale integration of power devices and improving the reliability and stability of the packaging structure of the power module. This also enables the power chips 102 and multiple pins in each phase power region and each phase power region to be reasonably and simply distributed, facilitating device wiring, simplifying the packaging structure of the power module, reducing the packaging cost, and reducing the assembly volume of the packaging structure.

[0038] The packaging structure of the power module in this embodiment further includes: a negative electrode region and at least one positive electrode region. A positive electrode region pin 108 is provided on the positive electrode region, and a negative electrode region pin 109 is provided on the negative electrode region. The drains of each power chip 102 in the first power chip group of each phase power region are commonly connected to the positive electrode region pin 108, and the sources of each power chip 102 in the second power chip group of each phase power region are commonly connected to the negative electrode region pin 109. In the drawings of this embodiment, VDD represents the positive electrode region pin 108 of the positive electrode region, and VSS represents the negative electrode region pin 109 of the negative electrode region. In Figure 2 In, on the front metal layer, the positive electrode region is connected to one phase power region, and the negative electrode region can be a separate region to achieve the electrical connection of each electrode region. In this way, the positive electrode region, the positive electrode region pin 108, the negative electrode region, and the negative electrode region pin 109 are reasonably and simply set, which is convenient for device wiring, simplifies the packaging structure of the power module, reduces the packaging cost, and reduces the assembly volume of the packaging structure.

[0039] The packaging structure of the power module in this embodiment further includes: at least one thermistor 110 and a temperature sampling pin 111 of each thermistor 110. The thermistor 110 is provided in the first power chip group of a certain phase power region and / or in the second power chip group of a certain phase power region, and the temperature sampling pin 111 of each thermistor 110 is connected to its own thermistor 110. In the drawings of this embodiment, T1 and T2 represent the two temperature sampling pins 111 of the thermistor 110. As Figures 3-4 shown, the thermistor 110 is provided beside S3, and the thermistor 110 can also be provided between G6 and VDD. The thermistor 110 is used to detect the temperature of the power module and can achieve more efficient control of the power module. As Figure 3 shown by the setting of the thermistor 110, the temperature in the corresponding region of the first power chip group in each phase power region and the temperature in the corresponding region of the second power chip group in each phase power region can be detected more efficiently, quickly, and conveniently.

[0040] The packaging structure of the power module in this embodiment further includes: a current detection resistor 112 and a current sampling pin 113 of the current detection resistor 112. The current detection resistor 112 is provided in the negative electrode region, and the current sampling pin 113 is connected to the current detection resistor 112. In the drawings of this embodiment, as Figures 3-4 shown, R1 and R2 represent the two current sampling pins 113 of the current detection resistor 112. By setting the current detection resistor 112, the magnitude of the current of the power module can be detected in real time, and further, the performance of the packaging structure of the power module can be judged according to the magnitude of the current.

[0041] The packaging structure of the power module in this embodiment further includes: stud bumps 114, which are arranged on the front metal layer and the back metal layer of the power substrate 101. The thickness of the stud bumps 114 is less than that of the front metal layer and less than that of the back metal layer. Specifically, as Figure 3 shown, the stud bumps 114 are arranged in the power areas of the front metal layer, such as the power areas of each phase, the power area of the thermistor 110, or the power area of the current sensing resistor 112. The stud bumps 114 are arranged in the heat dissipation areas of the back metal layer, such as the edge areas of the back metal layer.

[0042] In this embodiment, the stud bumps 114 are used to increase the adhesion and adhesiveness between the metal layer and the ceramic layer, and improve the adhesion. It can solve the problem of ceramic cracking of the power substrate 101 when ultrasonic bonding the power pins and the power chip 102 on the power substrate 101. The stud bumps 114 are in a dot shape, a spherical shape or other shapes, that is, blind holes. The diameter of the stud bumps 114 can be selected from 0.2 to 0.8 mm. It should be noted that the stud bumps 114 in this embodiment are only studded on the metal layer of the power substrate 101 through the studding process and do not completely penetrate the metal layer.

[0043] The packaging structure of the power module in this embodiment further includes: stress relief holes, which are arranged between the power chips 102. The stress relief holes are used to relieve or eliminate the stress generated when the power chips 102 are soldered in the power areas, prevent the power substrate 101 from cracking, further improve the reliability of the device manufacturing process, reduce the process damage rate, and improve the production yield of the packaging structure product of the power module.

[0044] In the packaging structure of the power module in this embodiment, the power chip 102 is a MOSFET chip or IGBT chips and FRD chips connected in parallel. In the drawings of this embodiment, the power chip 102 is shown as a MOSFET chip.

[0045] As Figure 5 shown, Figure 5 it shows the circuit connection relationship of each phase power area with N = 4 power chips 102. In Figure 5Among them, G1 is the first gate pin 104 of the U-phase power region, G2 is the first gate pin 104 of the V-phase power region, and G3 is the first gate pin 104 of the W-phase power region. G6 is the second gate pin 105 of the U-phase power region, G5 is the second gate pin 105 of the V-phase power region, and G4 is the second gate pin 105 of the W-phase power region. S1 is the first source pin 106 of the U-phase power region, S2 is the first source pin 106 of the V-phase power region, and S3 is the first source pin 106 of the W-phase power region. S6 is the second source pin 107 of the U-phase power region, S5 is the second source pin 107 of the V-phase power region, and S4 is the second source pin 107 of the W-phase power region. U is the phase current power output pin 103 of the U-phase power region, V is the phase current power output pin 103 of the V-phase power region, and W is the phase current power output pin 103 of the W-phase power region.

[0046] In Figure 5 Among them, in the first power chip group of the U-phase power region, the gates of each power chip 102 of the first power chip group are commonly connected to the first gate pin 104 (i.e., G1) of the U-phase power region. The sources of each power chip 102 of the first power chip group are commonly connected to the first source pin 106 (i.e., S1) of the U-phase power region and the phase current power output pin 103 (i.e., U) of the U-phase power region, and the drains of each power chip 102 of the first power chip group are commonly connected to the positive region pin 108 (i.e., VDD) of the positive region. And so on for the connection relationships of the first power chip groups in the V-phase power region and the W-phase power region.

[0047] In Figure 5 Among them, in the second power chip group of the U-phase power region, the gates of each power chip 102 of the second power chip group are commonly connected to the second gate pin 105 (i.e., G6) of the U-phase power region. The sources of each power chip 102 of the second power chip group are commonly connected to the second source pin 107 (i.e., S6) of the U-phase power region, and are also commonly connected to the negative region pin 109 (i.e., VSS) of the negative region. The drain of one power chip 102 of the second power chip group is connected to the source of one power chip 102 of the first power chip group in the U-phase power region. And so on for the connection relationships of the second power chip groups in the V-phase power region and the W-phase power region.

[0048] A current sensing resistor 112 and the current sampling pins 113 of the current sensing resistor 112 (i.e., R1, R2) are provided in the negative region. As Figure 5 shown, a thermistor 110 and the temperature sampling pins 111 of each thermistor 110 (i.e., T1, T2) are provided between the second power chip group in the W-phase power region and the second power chip group in the V-phase power region.

[0049] In this embodiment, various power pins (such as phase current power output pin 103, first gate pin 104, second gate pin 105, first source pin 106, second source pin 107, and pole region pin), temperature sampling pin 111, and current sampling pin 113 can all adopt Z-shaped, S-shaped, pin-shaped, etc. The power pins, temperature sampling pin 111, and current sampling pin 113 are all connected to the corresponding regions by ultrasonic bonding or chip / solder welding. The power chip 102 is connected to the power pin or the copper layer where the power pin is located by bonding metal wires (optional aluminum wires, copper wires) or bonding metal sheets (optional copper sheets), and the power regions are connected by bonding metal wires (optional aluminum wires, copper wires) or bonding metal sheets (optional copper sheets).

[0050] As Figure 1 shown, the encapsulation housing 200 adopts electrical insulating materials such as silicone gel and epoxy resin, preferably silicone gel, to directly encapsulate the power substrate 101. In this way, there is no need for an encapsulation frame, which has the advantages of low cost, simplifying the encapsulation structure of the power module, reducing the encapsulation cost, and decreasing the assembly volume of the encapsulation structure.
