The first surface of the chip 10 is fixed on the substrate 30 by means of metal sintering. The lead frame 20 is integrally formed, and the lead frame 20 is fixedly connected to the second surface of the chip 10 and the substrate 30 by metal sintering, so as to form a circuit of the power module 100. The housing 40 is filled with plastic resin to plastically package the chip 10, the lead frame 20, and the substrate 30.

Thus, when a plurality of the power modules 100 are assembled, the distance between the power modules 100 can be reduced, and the volume of the whole module can be reduced.

In the present embodiment, the metal sintering is copper sintering or silver sintering, and the sintering thickness is 30 to 200 um.
S3, electrically connecting the input terminal 52 of the connection terminal 50 with the external input module 300, and electrically connecting the output terminal 54 of the connection terminal 50 with the external output module 400.
In the present embodiment, the withstand voltage/current of a single 2in1 power module is 1200V/200A, but when three such power modules are used in combination by the above method, the withstand voltage/current is 1200/600A.
More specifically, any one of the three power modules 100 can be driven independently to output three-phase power from the output terminal 54, and the inverter circuit configuration can be completed by combining the power modules into 6in 1. Therefore, the service life of the power module can be prolonged, and the application range is expanded.

Power modules are being developed with high power density and high reliability. The power module with high power density and high reliability is beneficial to reducing the size of the system and improving the high power density of the system.
