Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of power semiconductors, in particular to a power module. Background Art

[0002] In existing motor-driven power modules, there are multiple ways to achieve power inversion (DC-AC-DC). Based on the differences in motor terminal applications, there are also different ways to achieve power inversion. Currently, the power modules that achieve terminal motor drive include:

[0003] One approach is to combine multiple power chip single-transistor devices in series and parallel according to the corresponding bridge power structure, leveraging the switching characteristics of each single-transistor device for terminal motor drive. However, the use of a combination of TO single-transistor devices for drive requires a large amount of PCB space on the PCB drive control board, resulting in significant interference between devices and high PCB board stray emissions, placing higher demands on the PCB's heat dissipation capabilities. Furthermore, each single-transistor device must be individually connected to a heat sink, making installation complex and unfavorable for integrated heat dissipation. Furthermore, each single-transistor device requires processes such as wire bonding and plastic encapsulation, which is costly.

[0004] The second type is plastic-encapsulated integrated 2-in-1, 3-in-1, and 6-in-1 modules based on the Quad Flat Package (QFP) process. These modules are similar to single-tube packages encapsulated with epoxy molding. However, plastic-encapsulated integrated modules using the QFP process are complex, have long processing cycles, and are expensive due to their plastic encapsulation.

[0005] The third is to use high-power modules packaged in existing mature plastic shells such as HPD and HP1. On the one hand, their size is large and requires a larger space for layout in the motor; on the other hand, the packaging cost of this module is relatively high.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] The first embodiment of the present utility model provides a power module, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes: a power substrate 101, and a packaging shell 200 that is packaged and connected to the power substrate 101. Figure 2As shown, two single-phase power zones are provided on the front metal layer of the power substrate 101. Each single-phase power zone includes N power chips 102, and phase current power output pins 103, first gate pins 104, second gate pins 105, first source pins 106, and second source pins 107 connected to the N power chips 102. N is a positive even number greater than 3. N can be 4 or 6.

[0031] In each single-phase power zone, the N power chips 102 include a first power chips group and a second power chips group. The number of power chips 102 in the first power chips group and the second power chips group is N / 2. The power chips 102 of the first power chips group are connected one-to-one with the power chips 102 of the second power chips group. 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 chips group, and the second gate pin 105 and the second source pin 107 are both connected to the second power chips group.

[0032] It should be noted that in this embodiment Figure 1-Figure 3 In the figure, N=6 power chips 102 are used to illustrate the structure and connection relationship of the single-phase power area. Figure 2 In the figure, the pins represented by the letter G are gate pins. G1 and G2 respectively represent the first gate pin 104 of each single-phase power zone. G1 is the first gate pin 104 of the first single-phase power zone, and G2 is the first gate pin 104 of the second single-phase power zone. G3 and G4 respectively represent the second gate pin 105 of each single-phase power zone. G3 is the second gate pin 105 of the first single-phase power zone, and G4 is the second gate pin 105 of the second single-phase power zone.

[0033] The pins represented by the letter S are source pins. S1 and S2 represent the first source pin 106 of each single-phase power zone, respectively. S1 is the first source pin 106 of the first single-phase power zone, and S2 is the first source pin 106 of the second single-phase power zone.

I1 is the phase current power output pin 103 of the first single-phase power zone, and I2 is the phase current power output pin 103 of the second single-phase power zone.

[0034] In this embodiment, by setting the packaging structure of the power module, a power chip 102 is embedded in each single-phase power zone in a full-bridge manner, which greatly increases the output power of a single phase zone and provides a power module solution for three-phase motor drive of more than 2kW. Each single-phase power zone integrates multiple power chips. By integrating two single-phase power zones, multiple power chips 102 are further rationally designed and directly packaged and integrated together, thereby realizing large-scale integration of power devices and improving the reliability and stability of the packaging structure of the power module. In addition, 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 shell material is saved. In this way, the packaging structure of the power module is highly integrated, the creepage gap is reduced, and it is more conducive to heat dissipation of the entire device. Compared with the single-tube power chip device arranged on the circuit board, the power module of this embodiment highly integrates multiple power chips 102, reduces the internal resistance of the multiple power chips 102 stacked, reduces the power consumption of the multiple chips 102 to the circuit, reduces the creepage distance, and avoids the increase in circuit power consumption caused by the large internal resistance of the multiple power chips 102 and the impact of the large creepage distance on the operation. To a certain extent, it solves the problems of single device failure caused by uneven power consumption and poor heat dissipation due to individual differences of single power chip devices (small electrical performance differences between single-tube power chips).

[0035] Next, combine Figure 1-2 The structure of the power module of this embodiment is described in detail:

[0036] The power substrate 101 of the present invention includes a front metal layer, a ceramic layer, and a back metal layer 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 a substrate with electrical transmission and insulation and heat dissipation capabilities. Examples include thin film ceramic substrates (TFC), thick film printed ceramic substrates (TPC), direct bonded copper ceramic substrates (DBC), active metal brazing ceramic substrates (AMB), direct plated copper ceramic substrates (DPC), laser activated metallization ceramic substrates (LAM), and aluminum substrates. The power substrate of the present invention is preferably a ceramic substrate with low cost, good performance, and simple manufacturing process, and is more preferably a DBC ceramic substrate.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the first power chipset group of each single-phase power zone is located in the first area on the front metal layer, indicating that the first power chipset group of each single-phase power zone is located on the same side of the front metal layer. The second power chipset group of each single-phase power zone is located in the second area on the front metal layer, indicating that the second power chipset group of each single-phase power zone is located on the other side of the front metal layer. The first area and the second area are arranged correspondingly. For example, half of the area of the front metal layer is the first area, and the other half of the area is the second area. In this way, the power chips 102 and multiple pins of each front metal layer phase power zone and each front metal layer phase power zone are reasonably and concisely distributed, which facilitates device wiring, simplifies the structure of the power module, reduces the cost of the power module, and reduces the assembly volume of the power module.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, in the first power chipset of each single-phase power zone, the gate of each power chip 102 of the first power chipset is commonly connected to the first gate pin 104. The source of each power chip 102 of the first power chipset is commonly connected to the first source pin 106 and the phase current power output pin 103, and the drain of each power chip 102 of the first power chipset is commonly connected. For example, Figure 3In the first power chipset of the first single-phase power zone, the gate of each power chip 102 of the first power chipset is commonly connected to the first gate pin 104 (i.e., G1) of the first single-phase power zone. The source of each power chip 102 of the first power chipset is commonly connected to the first source pin 106 (i.e., S1) of the first single-phase power zone and the phase current power output pin 103 (i.e., I1) of the first single-phase power zone. The drain of each power chip 102 of the first power chipset is commonly connected to the positive zone pin 108 (i.e., VDD) of the positive zone. The connection relationship of the first power chipset of the second single-phase power zone is similar.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, in the second power chipset of each single-phase power zone, the gate of each power chip 102 of the second power chipset is connected to the second gate pin 105. The source of each power chip 102 of the second power chipset is connected to the source of a power chip 102 of the first power chipset. Figure 3 In the second power chipset of the first single-phase power zone, the gate of each power chip 102 of the second power chipset is commonly connected to the second gate pin 105 (i.e., G3) of the first single-phase power zone. The source of each power chip 102 of the second power chipset is commonly connected to the second source pin 107 (i.e., S3) of the first single-phase power zone and also commonly connected to the negative region pin 109 (i.e., VSS) of the negative region. The drain of a power chip 102 of the second power chipset is connected to the source of a power chip 102 of the first power chipset of the first single-phase power zone. The connection relationship of the second power chipset of the second single-phase power zone is similar.

[0040] The connection structure of the power chips 102 of the first power chipset and the second power chipset in each single-phase power zone is configured. In each single-phase power zone, the power chips 102 are embedded in a full-bridge manner, significantly increasing the output power of a single phase zone and providing a power module solution for three-phase motor drives exceeding 2 kW. This allows multiple power chips 102 to be rationally designed and directly packaged and integrated together, thereby achieving large-scale integration of power devices and improving the reliability and stability of the power module. This also allows for a reasonable and concise distribution of the power chips 102 and multiple pins in each single-phase power zone, facilitating device wiring, simplifying the power module structure, reducing the cost of the power module, and reducing the assembly volume of the power module.

[0041] The power module of this embodiment further includes: a negative region and at least one positive region, the positive region is provided with a positive region pin 108, the negative region is provided with a negative region pin 109, the drain of each power chip 102 of the first power chipset group of each single-phase power region is connected to the positive region pin 108, and the source of each power chip 102 of the second power chipset group of each single-phase power region is connected to the negative region pin 109. In the drawings of this embodiment, VDD represents the positive region pin 108 of the positive region, and VSS represents the negative region pin 109 of the negative region. Figure 2 In the front metal layer, the positive region connects to a phase power region, while the negative region can be a separate area, achieving electrical connection between each region. This rational and concise arrangement of the positive region, positive region pin 108, and the negative region, negative region pin 109 facilitates device wiring, simplifies the power module structure, reduces the cost of the power module, and reduces the assembly volume of the power module.

[0042] The power module of 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 chipset and / or the second power chipset in the single-phase power region. In the drawings of this embodiment, T1 and T2 represent two temperature sampling pins 111 of the thermistor 110. Figure 2-3 As shown, the thermistor 110 is set next to S2. The thermistor 110 is used to detect the temperature of the power module, which can achieve more efficient control of the power module. Figure 2-3 The thermistor 110 arrangement shown can more efficiently, quickly and conveniently detect the temperature in the area corresponding to the first power chipset in each single-phase power zone and the temperature in the area corresponding to the second power chipset in each single-phase power zone.

[0043] The power module of this embodiment further includes: a current sensing resistor 112 and a current sampling pin 113 of the current sensing resistor 112, and the current sensing resistor 112 is arranged in the negative electrode area. Figure 2-3 As shown, R1 and R2 represent two current sampling pins 113 of the current sensing resistor 112. By setting the current sensing resistor 112, the current magnitude of the power module can be detected in real time, and the performance of the power module can be further judged by the current magnitude.

[0044] The power module of this embodiment further includes: a bubble point 114, which is arranged on the front metal layer and the back metal layer of the power substrate 101. The thickness of the bubble point 114 is smaller than the thickness of the front metal layer and smaller than the thickness of the back metal layer. Specifically, Figure 2As shown, the bubble point 114 is set in the power area of the front metal layer, such as each single-phase power area, the power area of thermistor 110, or the power area of the current sensing resistor 112. The bubble point 114 is set in the heat dissipation area of the back metal layer, such as the edge area of the back metal layer.

[0045] In this embodiment, the bubble points 114 are used to increase the adhesion and cohesion between the metal layer and the ceramic layer, thereby improving the adhesion. This can solve the problem of ceramic cracking of the power substrate 101 when the power pins on the power substrate 101 and the power chip 102 are ultrasonically bonded. The bubble points 114 are point-shaped, spherical, or other shapes, i.e., blind holes. The diameter of the bubble points 114 can be selected to be 0.2 to 0.8 mm. It should be noted that the bubble points 114 of this embodiment are only pinned on the metal layer of the power substrate 101 through a pinning process, and do not completely penetrate the metal layer.

[0046] The power module of this embodiment further includes stress relief holes, which are provided between the power chips 102. The stress relief holes are used to relieve or eliminate stress generated when the power chips 102 are soldered to the power region, preventing cracking of the power substrate 101. This further improves the reliability of the device manufacturing process, reduces the process damage rate, and increases the production yield of the power module product.

[0047] In the power module of this embodiment, the power chip 102 is a MOSFET chip or an IGBT chip and an FRD chip connected in parallel. In the drawings of this embodiment, the power chip 102 is shown as a MOSFET chip.

The drain of each power chip 102 of the first power chipset is commonly connected to the positive zone pin 108 (i.e., VDD) of the positive zone. The connection relationship of the first power chipset of the second single-phase power zone is similar.

[0050] exist Figure 4 In the second power chipset of the first single-phase power zone, the gate of each power chip 102 of the second power chipset is commonly connected to the second gate pin 105 (i.e., G3) of the first single-phase power zone.

The drain of a power chip 102 of the second power chipset is connected to the source of a power chip 102 of the first power chipset of the first single-phase power zone. The connection relationship of the second power chipset of the second single-phase power zone is similar.
