Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of thermal resistance test, especially relates to the thermal resistance test frock for double -sided heat dissipation toll package device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the evolution process of power electronic devices towards high-density integration, high-power output and miniaturization design, its wide application greatly enriches our daily life. However, with the continuous rise of power level, the heat dissipation problem of electronic devices is increasingly prominent, which becomes the key factor restricting the further development of technology. In view of this, the importance of heat dissipation technology is self-evident, and its efficiency is directly related to the performance and service life of the product.

[0003] For some small size components that need to withstand high power, the traditional single-sided cooling structure has been difficult to meet the stringent heat dissipation requirements. In recent years, the research on double-sided cooling structure of power module is increasing, and the thermal resistance test of double-sided cooling structure usually covers the secondary heat dissipation surface of the power module with thermal insulation material, and the main heat dissipation surface is pressed on the heat sink through the interface material, and the water is continuously cooled. According to the test method of single-sided heat dissipation device, the main heat dissipation surface structure function curve is measured. Such thermal resistance test brings the following problems:

[0004] 1. Consistency problem of heat dissipation path: the traditional double-interface method test requires that the chip junction-shell heat dissipation path is consistent under two interface conditions, but direct pressing will lead to inconsistent path with silicone interface, resulting in inconsistent structure function curve in the front section, and the thermal resistance cannot be accurately tested. Therefore, the traditional double-interface method is not suitable for thermal test of double-sided heat dissipation IGBT module, and a new interface material needs to be developed to replace direct pressing to ensure the consistency of the heat dissipation path of the two interfaces.

[0005] 2. Thermal coupling effect: due to the absence of absolute thermal insulation material, the thermal coupling effect of double-sided heat dissipation module cannot be completely eliminated. This will lead to smaller measured value and simulation value of single-sided thermal resistance, and the way of inversely deducing the secondary heat dissipation surface thermal resistance according to the main heat dissipation surface and double-sided measured thermal resistance is needed to reduce the coupling effect and correct the test results.

[0006] 3. Lack of thermal resistance model and evaluation method: the existing research still uses the thermal resistance model and evaluation method of single-sided heat dissipation package, which is not applicable to double-sided heat dissipation package with double-channel heat transfer characteristics. This leads to the problems of unclear physical meaning, lack of thermal circuit model and blank evaluation method, which seriously restricts the equipment research and development, reliable operation and scale application of double-sided heat dissipation module.

[0007] Therefore, a thermal resistance test frock for double-sided heat dissipation toll package device is needed to simplify the test process and improve the heat dissipation effect. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0017] Further, the electrically conductive connecting piece includes an upper PBC plate and a lower PBC plate.

[0018] The upper surface of the lower cold plate has a first accommodating groove matching the shape of the lower PBC plate, and the lower PBC plate is detachably connected in the first accommodating groove; the lower PBC plate is hollowed out at a position corresponding to the lower heat dissipation surface of the device to be measured.

[0019] The lower surface of the upper cold plate has a second accommodating groove, and the upper PBC plate is detachably connected in the second accommodating groove; the upper PBC plate is hollowed out at a position corresponding to the upper heat dissipation surface of the device to be measured.

[0037] Embodiment One

[0038] The heat resistance test tool for double-sided heat dissipation toll package device, heat dissipation device and conductive connecting piece of the embodiment;

[0039] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , the heat dissipation device comprises an upper cold plate 1, a lower cold plate 2 and a connecting pipe 3.

[0042] In the embodiment, the total length of the lower PBC plate 5 is 42 mm, the width is 12 mm, and the thickness is 3.5 mm.

[0043] The lower surface of the upper cold plate 1 is provided with a second accommodating groove, the upper PBC plate 4 is fixed in the second accommodating groove, and the upper PBC plate 4 is hollowed out at a position corresponding to the upper surface (i.e. the upper heat dissipation surface) of the plastic sealing material 10 of the device to be tested. The thickness THK1 of the upper PBC plate 4 protruding from the lower surface of the upper cold plate 1 is equal to the thickness THK2 of the pins 11 of the device to be tested to the upper surface of the plastic sealing material; so as to ensure that the upper surface of the plastic sealing material of the device to be tested is in contact with the lower surface of the upper cold plate 1.

[0044] The upper cold plate 1 and the lower cold plate 2 are provided with liquid circulation channels inside; the two ends of the upper cold plate 1 in the length direction are respectively provided with a first water inlet 6 and a first water outlet connected with the liquid circulation channels; the two ends of the lower cold plate 2 in the length direction are respectively provided with a second water inlet and a second water outlet 7 connected with the liquid circulation channels; the connecting pipe 3 is connected with the first water outlet and the second water inlet respectively; in the embodiment, the connecting pipe 3 adopts high-temperature-resistant rubber water pipe.

[0045] The upper PBC plate 4 and the lower PBC plate 5 are provided with circuits.

[0046] The corresponding positions of the upper cold plate 1, the upper PBC plate 4, the lower PBC plate 5 and the lower cold plate 2 are also provided with first threaded holes 8.

[0047] The upper PBC plate 4 is provided with a contact 9 at a position corresponding to the pins 11 of the device to be tested.

[0048] The upper PBC plate 4 and the lower PBC plate 5 are both provided with wiring terminals.

[0049] The embodiment takes a double-sided heat dissipation toll package device as the device to be tested.

[0050] During the test, insulating silicon grease is applied on the upper and lower heat dissipation surfaces of the device under test;

[0051] The device under test is placed on the lower cold plate 2, so that the plastic package of the device under test is located in the hollow position of the lower PBC plate 5, the lower surface of the pin of the device under test is in contact with the contact 9 of the lower PBC plate 5, and the lower surface of the plastic package is in contact with the surface of the lower cold plate 2.

[0052] The upper cold plate 1 is covered, so that the plastic package of the device under test is located in the hollow position of the upper PBC plate 4, the upper surface of the pin of the device under test is in contact with the contact 9 of the upper PBC plate 4, and the upper surface of the plastic package is in contact with the surface of the upper cold plate 1.

[0053] The upper cold plate 1 and the lower cold plate 2 are clamped and fixed to the device under test by the first threaded hole 8 of the upper cold plate 1, the upper PBC plate 4, the lower PBC plate 5, and the lower cold plate 2 through the fixing bolt 14. The upper PBC plate 4 and the lower PBC plate 5 can be replaced by removing the fixing screw to achieve detachable connection.

[0054] The wiring terminals of the upper PBC plate 4 and the lower PBC plate 5 are connected to the wiring terminals of the external power supply device through the connecting wire.

[0055] The first water inlet hole and the second water outlet 7 are connected to the water outlet and the water inlet of the external water cooler through the pipeline;

[0056] The 50% pure water and 50% ethylene glycol mixed liquid is used as the cooling liquid. When the liquid temperature is 25℃ and the liquid flow rate reaches 8L / min, the corresponding test conditions are met, and the thermal resistance test of the device under test is started. After the test is completed, a group of integral curves is obtained.

[0057] Then, a 0.5mm thick heat-conducting pad is attached to the heat dissipation surface of the device under test. After re-fixing, the second test is performed to obtain another group of integral curves. The thermal resistance data of double-sided simultaneous heat dissipation are obtained by the double-interface test method of the two different media. The final double-sided package thermal resistance is obtained by comparing and fitting the two groups of data.

[0058] During the test, first, insulating silicon grease is applied on the heat dissipation surface (i.e. the upper surface and the lower surface of the plastic package) of the device under test.

[0059] Next, the device under test is placed on the lower cold plate 2, ensuring that the plastic package of the device under test is located in the hollow position of the lower PBC plate 5, and the lower surface of the pin of the device under test is in contact with the contact 9 of the lower PBC plate 5. The lower surface of the plastic package is in contact with the surface of the lower cold plate 2.

[0060] Then, the upper cold plate 1 is placed on top, so that the molding compound of the device under test is located in the cutout position of the upper PBC board 4, and the upper surface of the pin of the device under test is in contact with the contact point 9 of the upper PBC board 4, and the upper surface of the molding compound is in contact with the surface of the upper cold plate 1.

[0061] Subsequently, by passing the first threaded hole 8 of the upper cold plate 1, the upper PBC plate 4, the lower PBC plate 5, and the lower cold plate 2 through the fixing bolt 14, the upper cold plate 1 and the lower cold plate 2 are clamped and fixed to the device under test.

[0062] Next, connect the terminals of the upper PBC board 4 and the lower PBC board 5 to the terminals of the external power supply device using connecting cables.

[0063] Next, the first water inlet and the second water outlet 7 are connected to the outlet and inlet of the external water chiller through pipes, respectively.

[0064] Then, using a mixture of 50% pure water and 50% ethylene glycol as the coolant, and after the liquid temperature reached 25°C and the liquid flow rate reached 8 L / min, the thermal resistance test of the device under test was started. At this time, a set of integral curves were recorded and obtained.

[0065] After completing the first test, attach a 0.5mm thick thermal pad to the heat dissipation surface of the device under test and fix it in place.

[0066] Finally, a second test was conducted, yielding another set of integral curves. Using a dual-interface test method with two different media, thermal resistance data for simultaneous heat dissipation on both sides was obtained. By comparing and fitting the two sets of data, the final double-sided junction thermal resistance was determined.

[0067] In this scheme, the heat dissipation surface of the device under test is made into direct contact with the heat dissipation devices (upper cold plate 1 and lower cold plate 2) to improve heat dissipation efficiency and more closely approximate the actual thermal resistance of the device under test.

[0068] The use of a PCB board instead of common probes allows the device under test to be directly and tightly attached to the PCB board. This not only eliminates the need to solder the pins of the device under test, enhancing current carrying capacity and improving testing efficiency, but also avoids damage to the package shape.

[0069] Compared to traditional solutions, using this solution in actual testing reduced the testing time for one device under test from 30 minutes to 15 minutes, halving the testing time and improving testing efficiency by 50%.
