Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of semiconductor device and packaging technology, specifically to a module terminal and HPD packaging module using a stacked busbar structure. Background Technology
[0002] As the most crucial component in electronic control, the power module's performance and reliability directly affect the overall performance of the electronic control system and even the entire electric drive assembly. IGBTs, as core components of power semiconductors, utilize HPD packaging. The HPD packaged module employs a three-phase full-bridge architecture, integrating six switching transistors to form a standard three-phase inverter circuit. It uses a stacked busbar design to reduce parasitic inductance and stray inductance. Parasitic inductance is the inherent additional inductance generated by all conductors in a circuit due to electromagnetic effects, including wires, solder joints, and package pins. It is inherent in the physical structure but can be reduced. Stray inductance, on the other hand, is caused by unintended magnetic field coupling formed by the conductor layout, resulting in a large current loop caused by the stacked busbar of the IGBT.
[0003] Chinese patent CN214152889U discloses a power module terminal and a power module. The power module terminal structure is the same as that of an HPD packaged module terminal. Both power module terminals include DC and AC terminals. The DC terminal includes: a first component comprising a first contact area, a first transition area, a first stacked area, and a first pin. The first stacked area is connected to the first contact area via the first transition area, and the first pin is located on the side of the first stacked area away from the first transition area; and a second component comprising a second contact area, a second transition area, a second stacked area, and a second pin. The second stacked area is connected to the second contact area via the second transition area, and the second pin is located on the side of the second stacked area away from the second transition area. The first and second contact areas are parallel to each other or located on the same plane; the first and second transition areas are parallel to each other and do not contact each other; and the first and second stacked areas are parallel to each other and do not contact each other. This invention effectively reduces the current density in the stacked region and lowers current loss by setting a transition region between the contact region and the stacked region. By utilizing the electromagnetic field cancellation effect generated by the current in the transition region and the stacked region, the stray inductance of the power module terminals can be effectively reduced. However, the current in the first contact region and the second contact region cannot generate an electromagnetic field cancellation effect, which will cause the HPD packaged module terminals to continuously generate stray inductance, making it impossible to further reduce stray inductance and reduce system reliability.

[0026] Example 1
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment is a module terminal using a stacked busbar structure, which includes a plurality of DC terminals 1. Each DC terminal 1 includes a first component 11 and a second component 12, both of which are respectively connected to a chip and a DC power supply. The first component 11 and the second component 12 are energized with opposite currents. The first component 11 and the second component 12 form a stacked busbar structure to cancel the magnetic field of the reverse current. A portion of the first component 11 overlaps with the entire portion of the second component 12 to expand the effective area of magnetic field cancellation.
[0028] Specifically, this embodiment includes three DC terminals 1, which are connected to the positive and negative terminals of a DC power supply to power the chip. The first component 11 and the second component 12 are respectively connected to the positive and negative terminals of the DC power supply to form positive and negative conductors. The two are closely attached and separated by a thin insulating layer to form a stacked busbar structure. This stacked busbar structure is a conventional design in the art. The area where the first component 11 and the second component 12 are closely attached is called the overlapping area. The effective overlapping area is the actual projected area of the first component 11 and the second component 12 overlapping.
[0029] The upper ends of the first component 11 and the second component 12 are respectively connected to the positive and negative terminals of a DC power supply (the structure of the DC power supply is not shown in the figure, but it is a conventional structure in the art). The lower ends of both are respectively connected to the positive and negative input ports of the chip to form DC loops with opposite current flow directions (the structure of the chip is not shown in the figure, but it is a conventional structure in the art). According to the law of electromagnetic induction, the magnetic fields generated by the first component 11 and the second component 12 are opposite in direction and have the same magnetic field strength. However, the opposite direction of the magnetic field lines reduces the total magnetic flux. Therefore, the total magnetic flux is inversely proportional to the effective overlapping area. At the same time, according to the fact that magnetic flux is the product of inductance and current, the total magnetic flux is directly proportional to stray inductance. Among them, a part of the area of the first component 11 overlaps with the entire area of the second component 12, so that the effective overlapping area is the projected area of the second component 12. Compared with the existing embodiments where there are complementary overlapping areas for both positive and negative terminals, this embodiment can maximize the effective overlapping area, reduce the total magnetic flux, thereby reducing stray inductance and improving the reliability of the system.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the first component 11 includes a first conductor 111, and the second component 12 includes a second conductor 121; the first conductor 111 and the second conductor 121 are parallel to each other and do not contact each other to form a stacked busbar structure, and the projection of the first conductor 111 along the direction perpendicular to the second conductor 121 can cover the second conductor 121.
[0031] Specifically, both the first conductor 111 and the second conductor 121 are plate-mounted structures, tightly bonded together with insulating material in between to prevent the formation of a circuit, thus forming a stacked busbar structure; wherein the second conductor 121 is projected onto the first conductor 111 along a direction perpendicular to the first conductor 111, and its projected area is the actual area of the second conductor 121, and this projected area is the effective overlap area of the first conductor 111 and the second conductor 121, so that the total magnetic flux in the second conductor 121 is zero, thereby making the stray inductance in the region of the second conductor 121 zero.
[0032] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the first component 11 further includes a first welding area 112, and the second component 12 further includes a second welding area 122; a portion of the side of the first conductor 111 forms the first welding area 112, which is opposite to but does not overlap with the second conductor 121, and the first welding area 112 connects the DC power supply to the first conductor 111; a portion of the side of the second conductor 121 forms the second welding area 122, which is away from the first conductor 111 and close to the first welding area 112, and the second welding area 122 connects the DC power supply to the second conductor 121.
[0033] Specifically, the first welding area 112 faces the second conductor 121 but does not overlap with it, allowing sufficient space for the laser to weld the DC power supply to it. The magnetic flux through the first welding area 112 is the total magnetic flux of the first component 11 and the second component 12. Therefore, reducing the area of the first welding area 112 can reduce the stray inductance of this embodiment. The first welding area 112 and the positive terminal of the DC power supply are fixedly connected by laser welding. Therefore, the first welding area 112 needs to reserve a suitable area to allow the laser to weld. The specific area of the first welding area 112 is a conventional design, which is determined by those skilled in the art based on factors such as laser welding machines and production experience, and will not be elaborated here.
[0034] Specifically, the second welding area 122 is formed on the side of the second conductor 121 away from the first conductor 111, so that there is enough space for the laser to weld the negative terminal of the DC power supply to it. At the same time, the second welding area 122 is formed at the end of the second conductor 121 close to the first conductor 111, so that the second welding area 122 is as close as possible to the first welding area 112, thereby maximizing the current path through the second conductor 121, thereby increasing the effective overlap area of the first component 11 and the second component 12, thereby expanding the effective area of magnetic field cancellation, and thereby reducing stray inductance.
[0035] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the first component 11 also includes several first pins 113 connected to the chip, and the second component 12 also includes several second pins 123 connected to the chip; both the first pins 113 and the second pins 123 are Z-shaped, and the first pins 113 and the second pins 123 are parallel to each other and do not contact each other; the height H2 of the second pin 123 minus the height H1 of the first pin 113 is the vertical distance between the second conductor 121 and the first conductor 111.
[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first component 11 includes four first pins 113 which are soldered to the chip. The four first pins 113 are parallel and non-contacting at the end of the first conductor 111 away from the first soldering area 112, so that the DC current of the DC power supply flows sequentially through the first soldering area 112, the first conductor 111, and the first pins 113 to the positive input interface of the chip, forming a positive current and generating a positive magnetic field. Secondly, the cross-section of the first pin 113 along the current flow direction is Z-shaped, and the height of the first pin 113 refers to the height of the Z-shape along the current flow direction, specifically the distance H1 from the first conductor 111 to the chip.
[0037] Secondly, in this embodiment, the second component 12 includes four second pins 123. The four second pins 123 are arranged in parallel and without contact at the end of the second conductor 121 away from the second soldering area 122, so that the DC current from the negative output port of the chip flows sequentially into the second pins 123, the second conductor 121, the second soldering area 122 and the DC power supply, forming a complete current loop with the first component 11, thereby forming a current opposite to that of the first component 11, generating a magnetic field opposite to that of the first component 11, thereby generating magnetic field cancellation and reducing stray inductance. Secondly, the cross-section of the second pin 123 along the current flow direction is Z-shaped. The height of the second pin 123 refers to the height of the Z-shape along the current flow direction, specifically the distance H2 from the second conductor 121 to the chip. H2 can roughly determine the thickness of this embodiment. Therefore, H2 needs to be determined according to the actual production requirements. The difference between H2 and H1 is the distance between the first conductor 111 and the second conductor 121. H1 is determined according to the distance requirements in actual production and H2.
[0038] Secondly, the four first pins 113 are divided into two groups and distributed on both sides of the same end of the first conductor 111, with a space in the middle for placing the four second pins 123. The contact surfaces of the first pins 113 and the second pins 123 with the chip are on the same plane, and their length directions are parallel and in the direction of current flow. This optimizes the structure of the first component 11 and the second component 12, reduces their size, and thus reduces the size of this embodiment.
[0039] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment also includes three AC terminals 2, which are connected to the U phase, V phase and W phase of the AC power supply respectively. The AC terminal 2 includes a third component 21, which includes a third conductor 211. The two ends of the third conductor 211 are connected to the third soldering area 212 and the third pin 213 respectively. The plane of the third conductor 211 is parallel to the plane of the stacked busbar structure. The two ends of the third conductor 211 form the third pin 213 and the third soldering area 212 respectively. The third pin 213 has a Z-shaped structure and is connected to the chip. The third soldering area 212 is connected to the AC power supply.
[0040] Specifically, three AC terminals 2 and three DC terminals 1 are respectively located at both ends of the chip. The AC terminals 2 include a third component 21, and the three third components 21 are respectively connected to the three phases of the AC power to form a complete AC circuit. Among them, the plane of the third conductor 211 is parallel to the plane of the first conductor 111. The end of the third conductor 211 near the chip forms four third pins 213. The four third pins 213 are parallel and do not touch. The cross-section of the third pins 213 along the current direction is Z-shaped. The end of the third conductor 211 near the AC power source forms a third welding area 212. The third welding area 212 is connected to the AC power source by laser welding to form a fixed connection, ensuring the welding strength of the third welding area 212.
[0041] Example 2
[0042] like Figure 9 As shown, this embodiment 2 is an HPD packaging module, which includes: Embodiment 1, which includes a DC terminal 1 and an AC terminal 2; a packaging shell 3, which encapsulates the DC terminal 1 and the AC terminal 2 at both ends of the packaging shell 3, and encapsulates a chip in the middle part of the packaging shell 3.
[0043] Specifically, the middle part of the packaging shell 3 forms a cavity for packaging the chip (the chip structure diagram is not shown in the figure, which is a conventional design). The upper part of the packaged DC terminal 1 is laser-welded to the DC power supply, and the lower part of the packaged AC terminal 2 is laser-welded to the AC power supply, ensuring the stability of the welding position. At the same time, the DC terminal 1 and the AC terminal 2 respectively form the first welding area 112, the second welding area 122, and the third welding area 212 to form the working surface of the laser, ensuring the welding quality of the laser welding. The laser welding machine is a robot-driven laser welding device, which is a conventional machine in this field. It can improve the automation level of packaging, thereby improving the efficiency of packaging.
[0044] Combination Figure 1 As shown, DC terminal 1 includes a first soldering area 112 and a second soldering area 122 connected to a DC power supply, and AC terminal 2 includes a third soldering area 212 connected to an AC power supply. The width and length of the first soldering area 112, the second soldering area 122 and the third soldering area 212 exposed at both ends of the package housing 3 are the same. The first soldering area 112, the second soldering area 122 and the third soldering area 212 are connected to the DC power supply or the AC power supply by laser welding.
[0045] Specifically, the first welding area 112 and the second welding area 122 are formed at the upper end of the encapsulation shell 3, and the third welding area 212 is formed at the lower end of the encapsulation shell 3. The length and width of the three areas not encapsulated by the encapsulation shell 3 are the same, and they are parallel to each other and do not contact each other. At the same time, the first welding area 112, the second welding area 122 and the third welding area 212 are arranged in three rows and three columns to further determine the position of the first welding area 112, the second welding area 122 and the third welding area 212 relative to the encapsulation shell 3. This allows the laser welding machine to determine the position of the encapsulation shell 3, and thus the position of the first welding area 112, the second welding area 122 and the third welding area 212, thereby improving the welding accuracy and welding quality.
