Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Leistungshalbleiter modul nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a power semiconductor Module according to the preamble of claim 1.
Ein solches Leistungshalbleitermodul ist aus der DE 31 27 457 C2 bekannt.Such a power semiconductor module is from the DE 31 27 457 C2 known.
Beim bekannten Leistungshalbleitermodul ist in eine Öff nung am Boden eines Kunststoffgehäuses ein mit Metall beschichtetes Keramiksubstrat eingesetzt, wobei das Sub strat in einer umlaufenden Vertiefung am Boden aufliegt und dort mit einem elastischen Klebstoff auf Silikonba sis verklebt ist. Ein ähnliches Modul ist auch aus der DE 28 40 514 C2 bekannt.In the known power semiconductor module is in an opening at the bottom of a plastic case with metal coated ceramic substrate used, the sub strat lies in a circumferential depression on the floor and there with an elastic adhesive on silicon ba sis is glued. A similar module is also from the DE 28 40 514 C2 known.
Ein generelles Problem solcher Module besteht in der Gefahr, daß das Kunststoffgehäuse während des Aufschrau bens des Moduls auf einen Kühlkörper Risse erhalten oder das Substrat brechen kann. Beispielsweise darf beim bekannten Modul bei Verwendung von M-5-Schrauben das Drehmoment beim Aufschrauben nicht über 3,5 Nm liegen. Ein sicherer Andruck des Moduls am Kühlkörper wird zwar bereits mit einem Drehmoment von 2,5 Nm erreicht, so daß das Problem grundsätzlich beherrschbar ist. Trotzdem besteht der Wunsch, das Modul weniger empfindlich auszu führen, da Anwender, die unterschiedliche Module montie ren, mitunter versehentlich mit zu hohem Drehmoment für die Befestigungsschrauben arbeiten, insbesondere, wenn sie auch solche Module montieren, die ein höheres Dreh moment erfordern.A general problem with such modules is that Danger that the plastic housing during unscrewing after receiving the module on a heat sink cracks or can break the substrate. For example, at known module when using M-5 screws The torque when screwing on should not exceed 3.5 Nm. A secure pressure of the module on the heat sink is indeed already achieved with a torque of 2.5 Nm, so that the problem is basically manageable. Nevertheless there is a desire to make the module less sensitive because users who assemble different modules ren, sometimes accidentally with excessive torque for the mounting screws work, especially if they also assemble modules that have a higher twist require moment.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein ver bessertes Leistungshalbleitermodul der gattungsgemäßen Art anzugeben.The invention is therefore based on the object, a ver improved power semiconductor module of the generic type Specify type.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Leistungshalbleitermodul mit einem Kunststoffgehäuse gelöst, das in seiner Boden ebene eine Öffnung und eine umlaufende Vertiefung auf weist, in welche ein beidseitig mit einer Metallschicht versehenes Keramiksubstrat als Modulboden eingesetzt ist, wobei die dem Gehäuseinneren zugewandte Metall schicht des Substrats strukturiert und mit Bauelementen bestückt ist, und wobei am Kunststoffgehäuse Auflage stützen angeformt sind, welche das Keramiksubstrat an vom Substratrand entfernten Auflagestellen in solcher Weise abstützen, daß zwischen der Oberseite des Keramik substrats und der Vertiefung des Kunststoffgehäuses ein einige Zehntelmillimeter breiter Spalt verbleibt, wel cher zur Befestigung und Abdichtung des Substrats mit einem Klebstoff ausgefüllt ist. This task is accomplished through a power semiconductor module solved with a plastic case that is in its bottom level an opening and a circumferential depression points, in which a on both sides with a metal layer Ceramic substrate provided as a module floor is, the metal facing the housing interior layer of the substrate structured and with components is equipped, and being on the plastic housing pad support are formed, which the ceramic substrate in such Support that way between the top of the ceramic substrate and the recess of the plastic housing a few tenths of a millimeter wide gap remains, wel cher for fastening and sealing the substrate with is filled with an adhesive.
Das erfindungsgemäße Leistungshalbleitermodul hat den Vorteil, daß durch Verlegung der Auflagefläche des Sub strats vom Rand weg weiter nach innen höhere Drehmomente für die Befestigungsschrauben zugelassen werden können, ohne eine Schädigung des Moduls befürchten zu müssen. Weiterhin hat die erfindungsgemäße Modulausführung den Vorteil, daß besondere Stützen im Modul, wie z. B. in der DE 35 21 572 A zur Verhinderung einer Wölbung des Sub strats vorgeschlagen, entfallen können.The power semiconductor module according to the invention has the Advantage that by laying the contact surface of the sub Strats higher torques inwards from the edge can be approved for the fastening screws, without fear of damage to the module. Furthermore, the module design according to the invention has the Advantage that special supports in the module, such as. B. in the DE 35 21 572 A for preventing curvature of the sub strats proposed, can be omitted.
Auch Schlitze in der Wandung des Kunststoffgehäuses, wie in der EP 01 18 022 B1 zum Schutz des Keramiksubstrates vorgeschlagen wurde, können bei der erfindungsgemäßen Ausführung entfallen.Also slots in the wall of the plastic housing, like in EP 01 18 022 B1 for protecting the ceramic substrate has been proposed can in the invention Execution omitted.
Beim bekannten Modul wird während der Herstellung beim Einsetzen des Substrats in das Kunststoffgehäuse ein Teil der zwischengefügten Klebstoffmasse herausgepreßt und muß vor dem Aushärten sorgfältig abgewischt werden, damit keine Klebstoffüberstände entstehen, welche eine gute Auflage des Moduls auf einem Kühlkörper und damit einen guten Wärmeübergang behindern könnten. Dieser Rei nigungsvorgang ist ein zusätzlicher und lästiger Ar beitsschritt, welcher beim erfindungsgemäßen Modul nicht erforderlich ist. Dort entsteht nämlich im Randbereich des Substrats kein Auflagedruck und es ist ausreichend Raum zur Aufnahme des Klebstoffs vorhanden, so daß der Klebstoff nicht herausgepreßt wird.In the known module is during the manufacture of Insert the substrate into the plastic housing Part of the interposed adhesive is pressed out and must be carefully wiped off before curing so that there is no excess adhesive, which is a good support of the module on a heat sink and thus could hinder good heat transfer. That Rei cleaning process is an additional and annoying task step, which is not in the module according to the invention is required. This is because the edge area is created there of the substrate no contact pressure and it is sufficient Space to hold the adhesive so that the Adhesive is not squeezed out.
Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung wird vorgeschla gen, die einstückig angeformten Auflagestützen an sol chen Stellen im Modul vorzusehen, an welchen sie auf eine metallisierte Fläche der strukturierten Oberseite des Substrats drücken. Solche beidseitig metallisierten Bereiche des Substrats stehen unter Druckspannung und sind daher weniger bruchempfindlich.According to an advantageous embodiment, it is proposed gene, the integrally molded support supports on sol The points in the module where they are to be placed a metallized surface of the textured top press the substrate. Such metallized on both sides Areas of the substrate are under compressive stress and are therefore less sensitive to breakage.
Für Leistungshalbleitermodule werden häufig Kunststoff gehäuse verwendet, welche innen durch Rippen unterteilt oder verstärkt sind. Solche Rippen sind oftmals erfor derlich zur Erhöhung der Kriechspannungsfestigkeit. An derartige Rippen können mit geringem Aufwand vorteilhaft die gemäß der Erfindung erforderlichen Auflagestützen angeformt werden.Plastic is often used for power semiconductor modules used housing, which is divided on the inside by ribs or reinforced. Such ribs are often required necessary to increase the creep resistance. At such ribs can be advantageous with little effort the support supports required according to the invention be molded on.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung werden in die Montagelöcher am Kunststoffgehäuse Metallniete, sogenannte Hohlniete, eingesetzt, welche den Kunststoff beim Aufschrauben vor einer möglichen Rißbildung schüt zen. Alternativ dazu kann auch gegen lokale Druckbela stungen besonders unempfindlicher Kunststoff gewählt werden. Geeignet sind z. B. glasfasesverstärkte Duropla ste oder moderne Hochleistungskunststoffe.According to a further advantageous embodiment into the mounting holes on the plastic housing metal rivets, so-called hollow rivets, which the plastic protect from possible cracking when screwing on Zen. Alternatively, you can also use local pressure particularly insensitive plastic selected will. Are suitable for. B. glass fiber reinforced Duropla or modern high-performance plastics.
Eine genauere Beschreibung der Erfindung folgt nachste hend anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausfüh rungsbeispiels. Es zeigen:A more detailed description of the invention follows below Based on an embodiment shown in the drawing example. Show it:

Fig. 3 Ansicht eines teilweise bestückten Substrats von oben, Fig. 3 view of a partially mounted substrate from above,

Fig. 1 zeigt einen Schnitt durch eine in Fig. 2 einge tragene Ebene A-A eines Kunststoffgehäuses 1. Es handelt sich um ein rahmenförmiges, also oben offenes Gehäuse. Ebenso wäre jedoch auch ein haubenförmiges, also oben geschlossenes Gehäuse verwendbar. Am Gehäuse 1 sind Be festigungslaschen 2 mit Befestigungslöchern 3 angeformt. Die Befestigungslaschen 2 sind durch metallische Hohl niete 4 verstärkt, welche in die Befestigungslöcher 3 eingesetzt sind. Weiterhin ist das Gehäuse 1 im Inneren mit Rippen 5 versehen, an welche Auflagestützen 6 ange formt sind. Schließlich hat das Kunststoffgehäuse 1 in seiner Bodenebene 7 eine große Öffnung 8 mit einer um laufenden Vertiefung 9. Darin ist als Modulboden ein Keramiksubstrat 10 eingesetzt, welches auf der Ober- und Unterseite mit einer Metallschicht 11 versehen ist; vor zugsweise mit einer einige Zehntelmillimeter dicken Kup ferschicht, welche nach einem Direktverbindungsverfahren aufgebracht ist. Fig. 1 shows a section through a turned in Fig. 2 transmitted plane AA of a plastic housing 1. It is a frame-shaped housing, which is open at the top. However, a hood-shaped housing, that is to say closed at the top, could also be used. On the housing 1 Be fastening tabs 2 are formed with mounting holes 3 . The mounting tabs 2 are reinforced by hollow metal rivets 4 , which are inserted into the mounting holes 3 . Furthermore, the housing 1 is provided on the inside with ribs 5 , to which support supports 6 are formed. Finally, the plastic housing 1 has a large opening 8 in its bottom plane 7 with a recess 9 running around it. A ceramic substrate 10 , which is provided on the top and bottom with a metal layer 11 , is used as the module base; preferably with a few tenths of a millimeter thick copper layer which is applied by a direct connection method.
Das Substrat 10 ist zur Vereinfachung ohne seine auf der Oberseite vorhandene Bestückung mit Bauelementen und Anschlußelementen dargestellt. Der obere Rand des Sub strats 10 ist mit Hilfe eines Klebstoffs 12 auf Silikon basis mit dem Kunststoffgehäuse 1 im Bereich seiner Ver tiefung 9 verbunden. Die Länge der Auflagestützen 6, die Vertiefung 9 und die Dicke des Keramiksubstrats 10 sowie die Dicke der Metallschichten 11 sind so aufeinander ab gestimmt, daß einerseits das Keramiksubstrat 10 mit sei ner unteren Metallschicht 11 geringfügig über die Boden ebene 7 hinausragt, um günstige Andruckverhältnisse an einem Kühlkörper zu erzielen, und andererseits zwischen der Oberseite des Keramiksubstrats 10 und der Vertiefung 9 ein Spalt 13 von einigen Zehntelmillimeter Breite ent steht. Das Substrat 10 liegt somit nur an den Auflage stützen 6 und nicht an seinem Rand auf. For simplification, the substrate 10 is shown without its components and connecting elements on the top side. The upper edge of the sub strate 10 is connected with the aid of an adhesive 12 based on silicone to the plastic housing 1 in the region of its recess 9 . The length of the support supports 6 , the recess 9 and the thickness of the ceramic substrate 10 and the thickness of the metal layers 11 are so matched to one another that on the one hand the ceramic substrate 10 with its lower metal layer 11 protrudes slightly above the floor level 7 to provide favorable pressure conditions to achieve a heat sink, and on the other hand, a gap 13 of a few tenths of a millimeter width is formed between the top of the ceramic substrate 10 and the recess 9 . The substrate 10 is thus only on the support 6 and not on its edge.
Die Auflagestützen 6 sind vorzugsweise an solchen Stel len angeordnet, an denen eine obere Metallschicht 11 auf dem Substrat 10 vorhanden ist, und außerdem vorzugsweise an Stellen in der Nähe von wärmeerzeugenden Bauelemen ten, um besonders dort einen guten Wärmekontakt zu einem Kühlkörper, auf welchen ein solches Modul geschraubt wird, herzustellen.The support brackets 6 are preferably arranged at such Stel len, where an upper metal layer 11 is present on the substrate 10 , and also preferably at locations in the vicinity of heat-generating components, in particular there good thermal contact to a heat sink, on which a such module is screwed to manufacture.
Fig. 2 zeigt einen Blick auf die Unterseite des Kunst stoffgehäuses 1, in welches noch kein Substrat einge setzt ist. Die Bezugszeichen haben bei allen Figuren übereinstimmende Bedeutung. Fig. 2 shows a view of the underside of the plastic housing 1 , in which no substrate is set. The reference symbols have the same meaning in all the figures.
Fig. 3 zeigt einen Blick auf die Oberseite eines Keramik substrats 10, dessen Metallschicht 11 auf der Oberseite strukturiert ist. Auf der Metallschicht 11 ist ein Lei stungshalbleiterbauelement 14, hier ein IGBT-Chip aufge lötet und durch Verbindungsdrähte 15 mit Anschlußflächen für den Emitter und das Gate des IGBT (Insulated-Gate- Bipolar-Transistors) kontaktiert. Auf der Metallschicht 11 sind mit punktierten Linien Anschlußflächen 16.1 bis 16.3 für aufzulötende Anschlußlaschen für den Kollektor (16.1), dem Emitter (16.2) und das Gate (16.3) darge stellt und außerdem Auflageflächen 17, mit denen das Substrat 10 bzw. seine obere Metallschicht 11 auf den Auflagestützen 6 im Gehäuse 1 aufliegt. Fig. 3 shows a view of the top of a ceramic substrate 10 , the metal layer 11 is structured on the top. On the metal layer 11 , a power semiconductor component 14 , here an IGBT chip, is soldered up and contacted by connecting wires 15 with connection areas for the emitter and the gate of the IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor). On the metal layer 11 are dotted lines pads 16.1 to 16.3 for soldering lugs for the collector ( 16.1 ), the emitter ( 16.2 ) and the gate ( 16.3 ) Darge and also bearing surfaces 17 with which the substrate 10 or its upper metal layer 11 rests on the support supports 6 in the housing 1 .
Fig. 4 zeigt ein fertiggestelltes Leistungshalbleitermo dul, wobei außer dem Gehäuse 1 mit seinen Befestigungs laschen 2 oben herausgeführte Anschlußlaschen 18 und eine Hartvergußmasse 19, mit welcher ein oberer Teil des Modulinneren ausgegossen ist, zu sehen sind. Fig. 4 shows a completed power semiconductor module, with the exception of the housing 1 with its fastening tabs 2 connection tabs 18 and a hard sealing compound 19 with which an upper part of the module interior is poured out.
Bei der Herstellung des Leistungshalbleitermoduls geht man von einem mit Hohlnieten 4 versehenen Kunststoffge häuse 1 und von dem Keramiksubstrat 10 aus, welches nach einem Direktverbindungsverfahren auf der Ober- und Un terseite mit je einer z. B. 0,4 mm dicken Metallschicht 11 aus Kupfer versehen wird. Die obere Metallschicht 11 wird durch Ätzen in einzelne Flächen unterteilt. Auf die strukturierte Metallschicht 11 werden Bauelemente 14 und Anschlußlaschen lS mittels Weichlot in einem Durchlaufo fen aufgelötet. Das Substrat 10 hat auf der oberen Seite einen von der Metallschicht 11 befreiten Randstreifen. Dieser Randstreifen wird mit einer etwa 1 mm dicken Schnur aus Silikonklebstoff mit thixotropen Eigenschaf ten beschichtet. Alternativ kann der Klebstoff 12 auch auf das Kunststoffgehäuse 1 statt auf das Substrat 10 aufgebracht werden.In the manufacture of the power semiconductor module, one starts with a rivet 4 provided with plastic housing 1 and from the ceramic substrate 10 , which, according to a direct connection method on the top and bottom, each with a z. B. 0.4 mm thick metal layer 11 is provided from copper. The upper metal layer 11 is divided into individual areas by etching. Components 14 and connecting lugs IS are soldered onto the structured metal layer 11 by means of soft solder in a continuous run. The substrate 10 has an edge strip freed from the metal layer 11 on the upper side. This edge strip is coated with an approximately 1 mm thick cord made of silicone adhesive with thixotropic properties. Alternatively, the adhesive 12 can also be applied to the plastic housing 1 instead of to the substrate 10 .
Zur Herstellung der Verbindung zwischen Kunststoffgehäu se 1 und Substrat 10 legt man das Gehäuse 1 auf den Kopf, so daß das vorbereitete Substrat 10 in den Aus schnitt in der Bodenebene 7 eingelegt werden kann. Das Substrat 10 liegt dann mit seinen Auflageflächen 17 auf den Auflagestützen 6 auf. Nach dem anschließenden Aus härten des Klebstoffs 12 entsteht eine feste und dichte Verbindung zwischen dem Substrat 10 und dem Gehäuse 1. Das Leistungshalbleitermodul wird nun umgedreht und von seiner Oberseite her zuerst mit einer weichen Silikon vergußmasse und dann mit einem Epoxidharz als Hartverguß gefüllt und ausgehärtet.To establish the connection between Kunststoffgehäu se 1 and substrate 10 , the housing 1 is placed on the head, so that the prepared substrate 10 can be inserted into the cut from the bottom plane 7 . The substrate 10 then lies with its support surfaces 17 on the support supports 6 . After the subsequent hardening of the adhesive 12 , a firm and tight connection is formed between the substrate 10 and the housing 1 . The power semiconductor module is now turned over and filled from the top first with a soft silicone casting compound and then with an epoxy resin as a hard casting compound and cured.
Bezüglich der Bestückung des Substrats mit Bauelementen und mit Anschlußlaschen sind selbstverständlich zahlrei che Ausführungsvarianten möglich. Beispielsweise können die elektrischen Anschlüsse auch durch im Gehäuse vorbe stückte Anschlußlaschen entsprechend der Lehre der DE 37 17 489 A hergestellt werden, welche erst nach dem Einkleben des Substrats in das Gehäuse mit dem Substrat verlötet werden. Es ist ebenfalls möglich, die Stützen 6 direkt auf den Chip aufliegen zu lassen, wenn die Chips anstellle mit Bonddrähten mit Kontaktronden (z. B. aus Mo) kontaktiert werden.Regarding the equipping of the substrate with components and with connecting lugs, numerous variants are of course possible. For example, the electrical connections can also be made by connecting tabs pre-assembled in the housing in accordance with the teaching of DE 37 17 489 A, which are only soldered to the substrate after the substrate has been glued into the housing. It is also possible to have the supports 6 rest directly on the chip if the chips are contacted instead of with bond wires with contact probes (eg made of Mo).
Zur Anwendung des Leistungshalbleitermoduls wird dieses auf einen Kühlkörper aufgeschraubt, auf welchen zuvor eine Wärmeleitpaste aufgetragen wird. Auch hohe An schraubmomente von z. B. 5 Nm bei M-5-Schrauben führen nicht zu einer Schädigung des Moduls. This becomes the application of the power semiconductor module screwed onto a heat sink, on which previously a thermal paste is applied. Also high to torque of z. B. 5 Nm for M-5 screws does not damage the module.
