Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of semiconductor packaging, specifically to a half-bridge circuit packaging structure. Background Technology

[0002] In practical circuit applications, the full-bridge structure is a mature and stable high-power inverter circuit, characterized by high efficiency, high reliability, and flexibility. Currently, high-power silicon carbide MOSFETs are widely packaged in discrete forms, such as the SOT-227 package, a common packaging form for third-generation silicon carbide semiconductor devices. Its structure includes a metal substrate, insulating layer, chip soldering area, and external terminals. Although this package has certain heat dissipation capabilities and electrical performance, it still has many problems in high-power applications. Its internal structure is complex, and the actual manufacturing process is also very complex, resulting in packaging costs that are even higher than the price of the chip itself. For example, if a single Vds>1200V silicon carbide chip costs 30 yuan / pcs, the packaging cost is approximately 40 yuan / pcs. Such a high packaging price hinders the speed and progress of silicon carbide MOSFETs replacing traditional IGBT devices on a large scale. To solve the problem of excessively high costs for four individual transistors (Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4), the applicant packages Q1 and Q2 into a single unit, generally referred to as a half-bridge structure. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a high power density half-bridge package structure with reduced size, thereby saving packaging costs.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this case provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A half-bridge circuit packaging structure includes a packaging substrate, a half-bridge semiconductor circuit structure, and a packaging housing; wherein the half-bridge semiconductor circuit structure includes an upper bridge circuit and a lower bridge circuit connected in series on the packaging substrate, each of the upper bridge circuit and the lower bridge circuit having a set of chips and sharing a common electrode D / S.

[0006] Furthermore, the upper bridge circuit and the lower bridge circuit are respectively provided with electrode D1 and electrode S2 on both sides of electrode D / S; the upper bridge circuit and the lower bridge circuit also include electrode G and electrode KS, which are arranged parallel to electrode D1, electrode D / S and electrode S2.

[0007] Furthermore, the package housing is provided with electrode terminals, the package substrate is fixedly connected to the package housing, and the half-bridge semiconductor circuit structure is electrically connected to the electrode terminals.

[0008] Furthermore, the packaging substrate is an AMB ceramic substrate with copper plating on both sides, and the chip is soldered onto the packaging substrate; the upper bridge circuit and the lower bridge circuit are bonded together by aluminum wire or copper wire and electrically connected through the AMB ceramic substrate.

[0009] Furthermore, the chip is soldered onto the packaging substrate; the upper bridge circuit and the lower bridge circuit are bonded together by aluminum or copper wires and electrically connected through the AMB ceramic substrate.

[0010] Furthermore, the electrodes G and KS are screw fasteners or copper plug structures.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are: compared with a single transistor of the same chip performance, the volume is reduced by 25%, the cost is reduced by more than 20%, and the power that can be handled per unit volume is greater, meaning a higher power density. It also retains the advantages of silicon carbide, such as low high-frequency switching losses, high voltage resistance, high temperature resistance, and low power consumption, paving the way for the large-scale application of medium- and high-power silicon carbide. Furthermore, the packaging structure of this product can also be used for the packaging of next-generation semiconductor (fourth-generation) gallium oxide and diamond chips, showing broad market prospects.
