[0039] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a power module in the related art is shown.

[0040] Generally speaking, the shell-seal package of the power module in the related art includes: chips (including transistors, diodes) as power electronic devices, DBC (copper-clad ceramic substrate, referred to as "DBC substrate", including an upper copper layer, a ceramic layer and a lower copper layer), bonding wires, terminals and solders as electrical connections; wherein the DBC, the shell and the silicone gel serve as electrical insulation; the DBC and the substrate serve as mechanical support, and the shell and the silicone gel also serve as mechanical protection and mechanical sealing.

[0041] As Figure 1 shown, for the Boost topology structure, the shell-seal package of the prior art adopts a bonding wire to connect the DBC where the diode and the MOS tube are located to realize commutation, wherein the process of current transfer from one branch to another branch is called commutation, and the on-off control of the power semiconductor module is realized through commutation to realize the forward and reverse flow of current. The commutation circuit in the power module is mainly used to control the conduction and turn-off process of IGBT and SiC to realize the forward and reverse flow of current.
