Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electronic semiconductor module with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • IMS substrate insulated metal substrate
  • carrier substrate which consists of a metal plate serving as a heat sink, which has an electrically insulating top surface
  • the insulating layer has good thermal conductivity and consists, for example, of a thin polymer layer into which a ceramic powder has been introduced to improve heat dissipation.
  • conductor tracks are formed on the upper side of the substrate.
  • Electronic semiconductor components are fitted on the top and electrically connected to the conductor tracks via bond wires.
  • the advantage of using an IMS substrate can be seen in particular in the good heat dissipation of the heat generated by the semiconductor component to the metallic heat sink by means of the relatively thin and good heat-conducting, insulating layer.
  • DCB substrates direct copper bonded
  • the DCB substrates consist of a relatively thick ceramic carrier, on the top and bottom of which a thin metal layer is applied in a special pressing process.
  • the upper metal layer is provided with conductor tracks by structuring.
  • Semiconductor components are connected to the conductor tracks on the top of the module via bond wires.
  • a thick metal plate serving as a heat sink is soldered onto the lower metal layer of the carrier substrate. From EP 0 508 717 AI it is also known to provide the metal plate with cooling channels through which a cooling medium flows.
  • a disadvantage of the DCB substrates compared to the IMS substrates is in particular the thick ceramic layer, which makes the heat transfer to the heat sink difficult.
  • a disadvantage of the known semiconductor modules described above is that all the connecting lines of the semiconductor components are formed on the upper side of the carrier substrate.
  • the conductor track in this one position is very expensive.
  • the substrate which is in any case expensive, must therefore be enlarged laterally in order to be able to accommodate the entire necessary conductor track wiring on the upper side of the carrier substrate.
  • the manufacturing costs are increased considerably.
  • the arrangement of all the connecting lines in the upper metal layer of the substrate results in large parasitic inductances which lead to very large overvoltages. This has a particularly disadvantageous effect if power electro- African circuits with a DC voltage circuit are arranged.
  • the parasitic inductances cause undesired overvoltages, which must be taken into account when selecting the semiconductor components. For example, the disconnection process of an electronic circuit breaker must be slowed down by suitable measures in order to reduce the overvoltages and to avoid damage to the semiconductor module.
  • An IMS substrate is used as the carrier substrate of the semiconductor module, the insulating intermediate layer of the IMS substrate being provided with at least one cutout and at least one contact surface of the semiconductor component provided on the upper side of a semiconductor component facing away from the carrier substrate being electrically connected to a contact element, which is contacted through the recess directly on the metallic heat sink.
  • the heat sink is used as an electrical conductor, which is electrically connected directly to the connection of a semiconductor component via the contact element, allows the parasitic inductances of the semiconductor module to be significantly reduced.
  • the wiring of the conductor track is made easier since the metallic heat sink also serves as a conductor for supplying the energy required to operate the semiconductor component. Due to the very thin electrically insulating layer or the very thin dielectric between the heat sink and the conductor tracks on the top of the substrate, the parasitic tary inductivities further reduced and at the same time a very fast and efficient heat dissipation to the heat sink is achieved.
  • the contact element can advantageously be produced as a bond wire connected to the connection of the semiconductor component on the one hand and the metallic heat sink on the other.
  • the bonding wire technology is well mastered and the direct contacting of the bonding wire on the heat sink only requires the formation of small cutouts in the insulating intermediate layer, which can be carried out inexpensively with a laser.
  • the metallic heat sink can advantageously be provided as a potential area for providing the supply potential required for operating the semiconductor component, in particular the ground potential.
  • the thickness of the insulation layer less than 250 ⁇ m.
  • a particularly efficient heat dissipation can be achieved by coupling the metallic heat sink with a cooling medium. It is particularly advantageous if the metallic heat sink of the IMS substrate is provided with cooling channels through which the cooling medium flows.
  • FIG. 2 shows a first exemplary embodiment of a semiconductor module according to the invention
  • FIG. 3 shows a second exemplary embodiment of a semiconductor module according to the invention
  • FIG. 4 shows a circuit diagram for the semiconductor module of a buck converter shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3.
  • a DCB substrate (direct copied bonded) is used as carrier substrate 1, which comprises an approximately one millimeter thick ceramic layer 2, which is coated on its top and bottom with approximately 300 ⁇ m thick metal layers 4, 5 of copper .
  • IMS substrates insulated metal substrates
  • Conductor tracks 4a, 4b, 4c are formed in the upper metal layer 4 by structuring.
  • Unhoused semiconductor components 20, 21, for example MOSFETS, power diodes, IGBTs or bipolar transistors, are applied to the metal layer 4.
  • Connections (not shown) on the underside of the semiconductor components 20, 21 are, for example, with the conductor tracks 4a, 4c electrically connected by soldering the unhoused semiconductor components 20, 21.
  • the semiconductor components are electrically connected to further conductor tracks 4b, 4c via bond wires 11, 14, which contact pads 22, 23 on the upper side of the semiconductor components.
  • a metal heat sink 3 made of, for example, copper is soldered onto the metal layer 5 on the underside of the carrier substrate 1.
  • the heat sink 3 contacts with its underside a cooling medium 10, for example a cooling liquid.
  • Further electrical components, such as a capacitor 30, are connected to the conductor tracks 4a, 4b via line connections 40, 41 and metal bridges 42, 43.
  • a circuit diagram of the buck converter is shown in FIG. 4, the electrical and electronic components of the semiconductor module being shown within the dash-dotted line 50.
  • the connection B + of the operating potential is present on the conductor track 4a in FIG. 1, the connection B- on the conductor track 4b.
  • the phase connection P is connected to the conductor track 4c.
  • the semiconductor component 21 is a power switch, for example a MOSFET, and the component 20 is a semiconductor diode. If the circuit breaker 21 is switched off, the current commutates from the MOSFET 21 to the diode 20.
  • U MOSFET U 1 - (L ) + L 2 + L 4 + L 5 + L 6 + L 7 ) - - i- and —- l ⁇ 0, dt dt
  • Ui is applied to the semiconductor module between the conductor tracks 4a and 4b DC link voltage is and L x to L 7 represent occurring parasitic inductances.
  • the voltage drops at the parasitic inductances L to L 7 when switched off at the MOSFET cause an overvoltage that is greater than the intermediate circuit voltage U x .
  • the switch-off process must therefore be slowed down by additional measures so that the maximum reverse voltage of the MOSFET is not exceeded.
  • the parasitic inductances shown in FIG. 4 can be directly assigned to the structure of the semiconductor module in FIG. 1.
  • the parasitic inductance L x is formed by the electrical connecting line 40 of the positive pole 32 of the intermediate circuit capacitor 30.
  • the parasitic inductance L 2 is formed by the connecting bracket 43 and the conductor track 4a.
  • the parasitic inductances L 3 and L s are caused by the electrical line connection from the MOSFET 21 to the semiconductor diode 20, that is to say by the bond wire 11 and the conductor track 4c.
  • the parasitic inductance L 6 is caused by the conductor track 4b and the connecting bracket 42 and the parasitic inductance L 7 by the connecting line 41 of the intermediate circuit capacitor 30.
  • the parasitic inductance L 4 for the connection of the one labeled P cannot be seen in FIG Contact to the conductor track 4c.
  • the inductivities x and L 7 can be reduced somewhat, but as can be seen in FIG. 1, there is between the B + connection and the B connection of the semiconductor module , that is, a very large area spanned between the connecting brackets 43 and 42, which leads to large values for the parasitic inductances L 2 and L 6 , which cannot be significantly reduced by optimizing the structure.
