A method of welding IGBT module
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of welding technique, in particular to a kind of method for welding IGBT module.
Background technique
As shown in Figure 1, IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor) module 1 includes substrate 2 and is arranged on a substrate 2 at present
Multiple chip units.Each chip unit includes the chip 6 stacked gradually, chip layer 5, liner plate 4, liner plate layer 3.Liner plate
Layer 3 is used for connecting lining plate 4 and substrate 2.Connection is formed by the lead being laterally extended between chip 6.Pass through function between liner plate 4
Rate terminal, which is formed, to be connected with each other.
Substrate 2 is the main thoroughfare that IGBT module 1 radiates, and substrate 2 should all have centainly before being installed on radiator
Camber.Substrate 2 is commonly installed the one side on a heat sink, outwardly protruded and abuts against with radiator.The edge of substrate 2 is arranged
The screw of multiple connecting substrates 2 and radiator with by substrate 2 be fixed to radiator on, and due to substrate 2 have certain camber,
As a result, the gap between substrate 2 and radiator more it is small more evenly, the capacity of heat transmission between substrate 2 and radiator is stronger.In order to mention
High heat dissipation effect, usually fills heat-conducting silicone grease in this gap.
The camber design of substrate 2 need to consider module potting process, and substrate 2 and the welding of liner plate 4 are by solder connection, weldering
Expect that the process after preheating, thawing, cooling, solder solid, liquid, solid-state phase changes can make components bear certain stress, this
The intermolecular binding force of kind is more apparent to the metamorphosis of substrate 2.If the face that substrate 2 is connected with liner plate layer 3 is plane, just
It can make the whole discontinuity of substrate 2 in welding process, cause the camber at 2 back side of substrate to change irregular, generate 2 back side of substrate
Warpage influences the heat dissipation of IGBT module 1, can generation module overheating failure under serious conditions.
The one side of existing substrate 2 is recessed, another side protrusion.The camber of substrate 2 generally remains in tens to several hundred microns
In the range of.Usually after the molding of substrate 2, then process on substrate 2 using punching press (or mold) and by the way of finishing
Camber.
Substrate 2 is mainly made of copper, ceramics or other metal materials.Current 2 camber control method of substrate is mainly from base
Three design of the initial camber of plate 2, solder type selecting, welding condition aspects are set out, and suitable 2 camber of substrate designs and matches
Solder, the solder that the substrate 2 of different camber values uses and technological parameter are different.
Under the conditions of existing packaging technology, the control of 2 camber of substrate is had the disadvantage in that
(1) 2 camber value of substrate does not consider technical process and process parameter control only in accordance with the initial camber design value of substrate 2,
2 camber value of substrate after the completion of encapsulation is 2 camber of substrate that IGBT module 1 is dispatched from the factory.2 camber value of substrate is broad, in module
The heat-conducting silicone grease thicker in 2 backside coating of substrate is needed to dissipate to ensure that module contacts well with radiator to module when use
Heat has a certain impact;
(2) since storeroom thermal expansion coefficient is inconsistent, if 2 size of substrate is larger, since the camber of substrate 2 exists, mould
Block welding process 2 uneven heatings of substrate are even, and module undergoes formation 2 back side of substrate after pyroprocess locally uneven, and substrate 2 is turned round
Song deformation is more serious, and the local camber of substrate 2 is excessive, influences module heat dissipating performance;
(3) if liner plate 4 is not of uniform size, layer is unevenly distributed, and 2 stress of substrate can not yet in welding procedure
, and then cause the variation of 2 camber of substrate irregular, the camber of substrate 2 is more difficult to control;
(4) since substrate 2 is there are camber, in welding, the vertex (generally in center) of the projecting surface of substrate 2 with plus
Hot plate contact, the lesser region of camber not with contact heater plate.Heat self-heating plate passes to substrate 2 in heating process, close
The solder of center melts at first, after solder fusing, flows to 2 center of substrate.Solder after fusing is on 2 surface of substrate
Mobility is different, causes cooling 3 thickness of rear lining plate layer inconsistent, below same liner plate 4, close to 2 central area of substrate
Liner plate layer 3 is partially thick, and the liner plate layer 3 far from central area is relatively thin;
(5) substrate 2 is contacted with heating plate in the larger position of 2 camber of substrate, remaining region is not contacted with hot plate.Heat by
Hot plate needs to improve the temperature of hot plate to the transmitting of substrate 2, and keeping substrate 2 interregional, there are the temperature difference, and then drives heat to 2 temperature of substrate
Lower region conduction, extending heating time are spent, and hot plate temperature promotion needs to consume more energy, reduces welding effect
Rate;
(6) distribution in uneven thickness of liner plate layer 3 not only influenced the heat dissipation performance of module, but also at IGBT module 1 week
In phase property temperature changing process, the unbalance stress of liner plate layer 3 will cause local creep and crack, and influence the long-term of module
Reliability;Since substrate 2 is in the high-temperature soldering process by solder fusing, 2 center solder of substrate is more, cooling in welding
The 2 camber deformation of process substrate increases, and aggravates the uneven distribution of layer thickness.
