Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of heat dissipation of components and devices, in particular to a heat dissipation structure for a single MOS tube of a photovoltaic inverter. Background Art
[0002] In the prior art, the core component of a solar photovoltaic inverter is the IGBT. Based on the packaging form, the products can be divided into three categories: single IGBT tubes, IPM modules, and IGBT modules. Single IGBT tubes are primarily used in photovoltaic inverters with a power below 20 kW. Currently, thermal grease is used as a heat transfer medium between the MOS tube, alumina or aluminum nitride, and the heat sink. However, the thermal conductivity of commercially available thermal grease is generally only 2 to 5 W / mk. In addition to its low thermal conductivity, thermal grease cannot be applied over large areas in actual process applications and is not reusable. Furthermore, it suffers from poor stability in outdoor environments for extended periods. After continuous thermal cycling, liquid migration occurs, leaving only the filler material with a loss of surface wettability and the risk of failure. The different thermal expansion rates of the interface materials create an "inflation" effect, increasing thermal resistance and reducing heat transfer efficiency, leading to burnout of the MOS tube.
[0003] In view of this, this technical solution proposes a heat dissipation structure for a single MOS tube in a photovoltaic inverter. It adopts a post-coating curing structure - a thermally conductive copper layer formed by high-temperature conductive copper paste, combined with a thermally conductive connection reinforcement layer of tin-bismuth-silver-copper solder paste formed by printing, so that the heat dissipation and connection stability are enhanced, eliminating the risk of failure caused by overheating, dielectric deformation and incomplete filling, and extending the service life of the component. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model aims to at least partially address one of the technical problems in the related art. To this end, the main purpose of this utility model is to provide a heat dissipation structure for a single MOS tube in a photovoltaic inverter. This structure aims to address the existing problems of single MOS tubes used in photovoltaic inverters, such as poor heat dissipation performance, deformation of the heat-conducting medium, incomplete filling, increased thermal resistance, shortened component life, and high failure rates.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a heat dissipation structure for a single MOS tube in a photovoltaic inverter, comprising a ceramic base disposed on the top of the heat sink, and a conductive copper layer disposed on the top surface of the ceramic base, wherein a tin-bismuth-silver-copper tin paste layer is provided on the top surface of the conductive copper layer, and a MOS tube is attached to the tin-bismuth-silver-copper tin paste layer.
[0006] As a further solution of the present invention, the ceramic base and the heat sink are connected by welding through a copper bottom plate.
[0007] As a further solution of the present invention, the ceramic plate base is an aluminum oxide and aluminum nitride ceramic plate structure.
[0008] As a further solution of the present invention, the tin-bismuth-silver-copper tin paste layer is printed on the surface of the conductive copper layer and is a thermally conductive connection reinforcement layer with the same size as the bottom surface of the MOS tube.
[0009] As a further solution of the present invention, the thickness of the conductive copper layer is 10-35 μm, and the copper layer structure is a copper layer structure made by sintering high-temperature conductive copper paste.
[0010] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:
[0011] This utility model proposes a heat dissipation structure for a single MOS tube in a photovoltaic inverter. By using a ceramic base, a conductive copper layer, and a layer of tin-bismuth-silver-copper paste disposed between the MOS tube and the heat sink, it achieves excellent heat dissipation and high connection strength after final soldering. Because it does not utilize deformable, flexible thermal conductors, there is no flow or liquid migration, thus eliminating the problems of "airing and bulging," ensuring rapid heat conduction and extending the service life of the entire component.

[0021] The main structure includes a ceramic base 10 arranged on the top of the radiator 1, and a conductive copper layer 11 arranged on the top surface of the ceramic base 10. The top surface of the conductive copper layer 11 is provided with a tin-bismuth-silver-copper tin paste layer 12, and a MOS tube 13 is attached to the tin-bismuth-silver-copper tin paste layer 12.
[0022] Here's how it works:
[0023] Using a thick-film printing process, a layer of high-temperature conductive copper paste (curing to form a conductive copper layer 11) is printed on the surface of aluminum oxide and aluminum nitride (ceramic substrate 10) according to the heat dissipation pattern of the MOS tube 13. This is then sintered using a nitrogen-oxygen high-temperature sintering method to form a 10-35μm highly conductive and thermally conductive copper layer. Our tin-bismuth-silver-copper solder paste layer 12 (Sn-3) is evenly applied to the surface of the conductive copper layer 11 using an SMT solder paste brush. Finally, the MOS tube 13 is soldered to the entire ceramic substrate 10 in a vacuum soldering furnace. This layered structure offers significant advantages in heat dissipation and stability, and is particularly valuable in harsh environments such as high temperature, high humidity, high power, and high vibration. Its primary applications include new energy photovoltaic inverters, automotive electronics, charging stations, and communication systems.

[0029] The Sn / Bi / Ag / Cu paste layer 12 is an intermediate layer, i.e., a thermal conductive connection reinforcement layer disposed between the MOS transistor 13 and the conductive copper layer 11. It has both excellent thermal conductivity and the ability to maintain a high-strength connection after soldering.
