Common forms of insulating packaging modules include... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, where, Figure 1 It has a housing and top pin structure, with only power chips (IGBT / SBD / MOS, etc.) inside. The pins are soldered onto the ceramic substrate, and the pins come out from the top. A plastic shell is used as the outer shell for protection, and the inside is filled with silicone grease.

In addition, the large ceramic substrate is expensive. Figure 2 The structure shown has long circuits between chips, resulting in large parasitic losses and high switching losses. Furthermore, the chips and passive devices are laid out in a flat structure, leading to a large product area. All heat-generating devices are assembled on a large ceramic plate, which is large in size and prone to cracking under stress. In addition, large-sized ceramic substrates are more expensive.

[0023] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] This utility model designs a distributed insulation system packaging module for system packaging of various power chips 1 and peripheral working devices 2 that are connected to them, such as various drive control chips and various passive components. In practical applications, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the specific design includes at least one insulating substrate 3 and a multilayer PCB board 5 with at least two built-in trace layers 4; wherein, each insulating substrate 3 has the same structure, and each insulating substrate 3 includes an insulating thermally conductive layer 3-1 and two copper layers 3-2 respectively disposed on the upper and lower surfaces of the insulating thermally conductive layer 3-1. In practical applications, the insulating thermally conductive layer 3-1 may be made of ceramic or organic insulating thermally conductive materials, and the size of each insulating substrate 3 is not specifically limited, and the sizes of each substrate may be the same or different.

[0025] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the space between any two adjacent trace layers 4 in the multilayer PCB board 5 is defined as the placement area. The trace layers 4 above the placement area are defined as the upper trace area, and adjacent trace layers 4 in the upper trace area are electrically connected. The trace layers 4 below the placement area are defined as the lower trace area, and adjacent trace layers 4 in the lower trace area are electrically connected. Each insulating substrate 3 is disposed in the placement area, and the bottom copper layer 3-2 of each insulating substrate 3 is connected to the top trace layer 4 in the lower trace area. The top trace layer 4 in the upper trace area is located on the upper surface of the multilayer PCB board 5, and each peripheral working device 2... The trace layers 4 on the upper surface of the multilayer PCB board 5 are electrically connected via pads 6. The bottom trace layer 4 in the lower trace area is located on the lower surface of the multilayer PCB board 5. Each power chip 1 is located in the area between the top copper layer 3-2 of each insulating substrate 3 and the upper trace area in the placement area. Each contact on the surface of each power chip 1 is electrically connected to each other and to each peripheral working device 2 via the upper trace area. Each power chip 1 dissipates heat to the outside via the insulating substrate 3 and the lower trace area. In practical applications, the power chip 1 here can be a chip with large heat generation such as MOS, IGBT, SiC, GaN HEMT.

[0026] Regarding the actual application of the power chip 1 in the above design, it is divided into a single-sided contact structure power chip 1 and a double-sided contact structure power chip 1. If the power chip 1 is a single-sided contact structure, the surface where the contacts of the single-sided contact structure power chip 1 are located faces the upper wiring area. Each contact on the single-sided contact structure power chip 1 is electrically connected to the bottom wiring layer 4 in the upper wiring area. The other surface of the single-sided contact structure power chip 1 is connected to the upper surface of the top copper layer 3-2 of the insulating substrate 3 it faces through a high thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity welding material 9.

[0027] If power chip 1 has a double-sided contact structure, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the upper surface of the copper layer 3-2 on the top of the insulating substrate 3, which faces the double-sided contact structure power chip 1, is electrically connected to the bottom trace layer 4 in the upper trace area. In practical applications, such as... Figure 3As shown, the upper surface of the double-sided contact structure power chip 1 facing the top copper layer 3-2 of the insulating substrate 3 is electrically connected to the bottom trace layer 4 in the upper trace area through a via structure 7, or as shown in the diagram. Figure 4 As shown, a first copper pillar 8 corresponding to the double-sided contact structure power chip 1 is also designed. The height of the first copper pillar 8 is the same as the thickness of the double-sided contact structure power chip 1. One end of the first copper pillar 8 is disposed on the upper surface of the top copper layer 3-2 of the insulating substrate 3 to which the double-sided contact structure power chip 1 is connected. The other end of the first copper pillar 8 is electrically connected to the bottom wiring layer 4 in the upper wiring area, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the upper surface of the top copper layer 3-2 of the insulating substrate 3 facing the double-sided contact structure power chip 1 and the bottom wiring layer 4 in the upper wiring area.

[0028] Continuing the application design of the double-sided contact structure power chip 1, each contact on one surface of the double-sided contact structure power chip 1 is electrically connected to the bottom trace layer 4 in the upper trace area. The contacts on one surface of the double-sided contact structure power chip 1 are electrically connected to each other and to each peripheral working device 2 through the upper trace area. The other surface of the double-sided contact structure power chip 1 is connected to the upper surface of the top copper layer 3-2 of the insulating substrate 3 it faces through a high thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity soldering material 9. At the same time, each contact on the other surface of the double-sided contact structure power chip 1 is electrically connected to the upper surface of the top copper layer 3-2 of the insulating substrate 3 it faces. The contacts on the other surface of the double-sided contact structure power chip 1 are electrically connected to each other and to each peripheral working device 2 through the connected top copper layer 3-2 of the insulating substrate 3 and the upper trace area.

[0029] The high thermal and electrical conductivity welding material 9 involved in the above design can be selected from any one of solder, silver paste, or sintered silver in practical applications.

[0030] Based on the above scheme design, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the design further includes at least one second copper pillar 10, with both ends of each second copper pillar 10 connected to the bottom routing layer 4 in the upper routing area and the top routing layer 4 in the lower routing area, respectively, to realize the electrical connection between the upper routing area and the lower routing area.

[0031] When applying the above to practice, a heat sink is further designed and added. Based on the design, the bottom trace layer 4 in the lower trace area is a whole copper plate layer. The heat sink is connected to the whole copper plate layer by soldering or applying thermal adhesive / silicone grease to dissipate heat and improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0032] The distributed insulation system packaging module designed in the above technical solution is based on a multilayer PCB board 5 with at least two built-in trace layers 4. A placement area is set between two adjacent trace layers 4, and multiple insulating substrates 3 are set to mount each power chip 1. The contacts on the surface of each power chip 1 are electrically connected to each other and to each peripheral working device 2 through the upper trace area of ​​the multilayer PCB board 5. At the same time, each power chip 1 dissipates heat to the outside through the insulating substrate 3 and the lower trace area of ​​the multilayer PCB board 5. In the design, the driver / control chip and the power chip are 3D stacked, resulting in a small loop area, small parasitics, and low loss. This makes the overall module area small and the cost low. It also reduces the area of ​​ceramic plate used, which greatly reduces the cost and avoids the problem of stress cracking of large-area ceramic plates.

[0033] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
