Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of microelectronic device packaging technology, and more specifically to the field of surface mount hybrid integrated circuit packaging technology. In particular, it relates to a surface mount power hybrid integrated circuit module packaging structure. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of microelectronic device packaging technology, the packaging requirements for integrated circuits are becoming increasingly stringent. In the field of electronic packaging, traditional low-loss, high-power control modules are PCB-level discrete device packages, resulting in large size and low power density. While the technology is currently mature, the development of next-generation power systems, avionics systems, and weapon control systems, especially in the aerospace and defense sectors, necessitates a clear demand for miniaturized, lightweight, low-power, and high-power-density devices. Although individual device packages are small, assembling functional systems still leads to large system size, heavy weight, and low power density. Therefore, to meet the application needs of the industry, there is an urgent need to develop hybrid integrated microcircuit module products.
[0003] Compared to organic plastic packaging, ceramic packaging offers higher mechanical strength, a lower coefficient of thermal expansion, and higher thermal conductivity. These characteristics meet the requirements of high hermeticity and high heat dissipation in chip packaging. Hybrid integrated circuit ceramic packaging is a packaging technology that fixes electronic components onto a ceramic substrate using specific processes and seals them with a ceramic shell. This packaging technology provides higher heat resistance, moisture resistance, corrosion resistance, and electromagnetic interference resistance. It can maintain stable performance at high temperatures without performance degradation due to temperature increases. It has the following characteristics:
[0004] 1. High moisture resistance: It has good waterproof and moisture-proof properties and is suitable for environments with high humidity;
[0005] 2. High corrosion resistance: It has excellent corrosion resistance to chemicals such as acids, alkalis, salts and organic solvents;
[0006] 3. High resistance to electromagnetic interference: It has excellent electromagnetic shielding capabilities and can be used at high frequencies without being affected by electromagnetic interference;
[0007] 4. Excellent electrical performance: Ceramic materials have low resistivity and high insulation performance, which can effectively suppress electromagnetic interference and signal crosstalk;
[0008] 5. Excellent mechanical properties and stability: Ceramic materials have high hardness and impact resistance, which can effectively protect the chip from external physical impacts and damage;
[0009] 6. Good airtightness: Ceramic packaging is an airtight packaging, which can prevent moisture from entering the internal structure and contaminating the chip;
[0010] 7. Low coefficient of thermal expansion: Ceramic materials have a low coefficient of thermal expansion, which is similar to that of chip materials, which helps to improve the reliability of packaging.
[0011] Due to these significant characteristics, ceramic packaging is widely used in various high-performance electronic fields, including aerospace, military equipment, medical devices, high-end communication equipment, and functional electronics. For example, electronic devices operating in extreme temperature and radiation environments require highly reliable and long-term stable communication and navigation systems.
[0012] For ceramic surface-mount packages of high-power driver chips, high reliability and high conversion efficiency are required. Current packaging structures suffer from high parasitic impedance, low heat dissipation efficiency, and low power density, failing to meet the requirements for high integration and miniaturized ceramic packaging.
[0013] In view of the above, this utility model is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0014] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to address the issues of high parasitic impedance, low heat dissipation efficiency, low power density, low integration, and large package size in existing surface-mount high-power chip module packaging structures.
[0015] The inventive concept of this utility model is:
[0016] The packaging structure uses a ceramic shell and metal components for encapsulation. Through precise calculation and design, the ceramic shell and metal components ensure that the entire product is in an optimal state.
[0017] Within the ceramic housing, high-power and low-power chips are integrated in different areas. These integration areas are stepped, with the low-power chip integrated sequentially from the upper step to the lower step. This step-based seamless isolation and staggered integration not only ensures the isolation between chips and reduces parasitic effects, but also significantly improves heat dissipation and integration density.
[0018] High-power integrated circuit chips are directly sintered onto a large heat sink made of tungsten copper. The heat sink material runs through the ceramic shell, achieving internal and external electrical connection, which greatly reduces the parasitic impedance of the product, while maximizing the product's heat dissipation efficiency and increasing the product's power density.
[0019] TU1 material (oxygen-free copper material) is used in the critical parasitic parameter generation areas of the packaging structure, penetrating through the ceramic cavity and the outside to achieve a through-connection, thereby reducing the product's parasitic impedance and inductive reactance and improving product reliability.
[0020] Therefore, a surface-mount power hybrid integrated circuit module packaging structure is provided, such as... Figure 1As shown. Includes:
