[0002] With the development and widespread adoption of new energy vehicles and high-power industrial electronics, motor controllers, as core components of electric drives, are becoming increasingly important. Traditional motor controller design approaches are no longer able to meet the growing demand, and performance is gradually reaching bottlenecks. With the continued development of third-generation semiconductors such as SiC and GaN, the requirements for motor controller power density, integration, and reliability are becoming increasingly stringent.

[0003] To solve the above problems, power device embedded circuit boards are a potential solution. However, the common power device embedded circuit board solutions on the market simply embed the power devices into the circuit board. Since the thermal conductivity of FR4 is concentrated between 0.3-0.5W / m*K, it is still relatively high. This causes the top temperature of the embedded circuit board solution to be still high, making it impossible to integrate the driver chip on the circuit board. Utility Model Content

In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] An embedded packaged circuit board with an integrated driver device includes: an FR4 insulating layer 1, a power device 2, a driver device 3, a circuit layer 4, a first insulating layer 6, and a second insulating layer 7. The power device 2 is embedded in the FR4 insulating layer 1, and the second insulating layer 7 is provided on the bottom surface of the FR4 insulating layer 1; the circuit layer 4 is provided on the FR4 insulating layer 1, and the circuit layer 4 is electrically connected to the power device 2; the driver device 3 is provided above the circuit layer 4, and the driver device 3 is electrically connected to the circuit layer 4, and the first insulating layer 6 is provided between the driver device 3 and the circuit layer 4; the thermal conductivity of the first insulating layer 6 is lower than that of the second insulating layer 7.

[0023] In other words, the power device 2 is surrounded by the FR4 insulating layer 1, thereby effectively protecting the power device 2. At the same time, a circuit layer 4 is formed on the FR4 insulating layer 1, and the circuit layer 4 can electrically connect the power device 2 with other components. At the same time, the first insulating layer 6 and the second insulating layer 7 protect the upper and lower surfaces of the power device 2, and the thermal conductivity of the first insulating layer 6 is set to be lower than that of the second insulating layer 7. In this way, the heat of the power device 2 is discharged from the bottom, thereby protecting the driving device 3 and preventing the heat distributed upward from damaging the driving device 3.

[0024] In this embodiment, the first insulating layer 6 is made of ABF or BT, and the second insulating layer 7 is made of FR4. Therefore, the thermal conductivity of the first insulating layer 6 is lower than that of the second insulating layer 7. As a result, when the power device 2 generates heat during operation, the heat is preferentially dissipated from the second insulating layer 7 below. Components such as the driver device 3 can be mounted above the first insulating layer 6, providing a more flexible configuration, preventing the effects of heat on the components, and extending their service life.

[0025] A first conductive layer is provided on the upper surface of the first insulating layer 6, and the driver device 3 is connected to the first conductive layer. Furthermore, a second conductive layer is provided on the lower surface of the first insulating layer 6. The first insulating layer 6 is provided with a through hole filled with copper metal, which is used to connect the first and second conductive layers. Furthermore, the pin ends of the power device 2 face the circuit layer 4.

[0026] That is, the first insulating layer 6 has a first conductive layer on its upper surface and a second conductive layer on its lower surface. The first and second conductive layers are connected via copper metal filled in the through-holes of the first insulating layer 6. Furthermore, the pin ends of the power device 2 face upward, while the pin ends of the driver device 3 face downward. This allows for a closer connection between the power device 2 and the driver device 3, achieving the shortest power path, the lowest stray inductance, smoother waveforms, minimal switching losses, and a smaller package size.

[0027] On this basis, an FR4 layer is provided between the circuit layer 4 and the second conductive layer. Connecting copper pillars 5 are provided in the FR4 layer. The circuit layer 4 and the second conductive layer are connected via the connecting copper pillars 5 .

[0028] In other words, to prevent direct contact between circuit layer 4 and the second conductive layer, an FR4 layer is added to circuit layer 4 for isolation. Copper pillars 5 are then placed within the through-holes of the FR4 layer to connect circuit layer 4 and the second conductive layer. This allows circuit layer 4 to extend horizontally to connect components in the same plane, while connecting copper pillars 5 also connect components vertically, simplifying the structure.

[0029] In this embodiment, metal circuits are provided on both the upper and lower surfaces of the second insulating layer 7. That is, the various devices in the package structure can also be electrically connected through the metal circuits on the upper and lower surfaces of the second insulating layer 7.

[0030] In summary, the utility model has a simple and compact structure, and the power device 2 is embedded in the FR4 insulating layer 1, thereby effectively protecting the power device 2 on all sides, improving safety and reliability, and protecting the upper and lower surfaces of the power device 2 by the first insulating layer 6 and the second insulating layer 7. In addition, the thermal conductivity of the first insulating layer 6 is lower than that of the second insulating layer 7, which is conducive to heat dissipation from the bottom, avoiding affecting the driving device 3 on the first insulating layer 6, and this packaging structure makes the distance between the driving device 3 and the power device 2 shorter, the signal transmission is more stable and rapid, and the shortest power path is achieved, the stray inductance is lowest, the waveform is smoother, the switching loss is minimized, and the system volume can be minimized.
