Abstract

The structure provides increased contact with cooling surfaces to maximise power dissipation. The electronic power component comprises a base plate (2) which is intended to lie on top of a first cooling element (30). On top of this is at least one composite structure (4) providing thermal transfer and electrical isolation, with a corresponding power semiconductor circuit (10) with metallic connection pads (12). The connection pads are in contact with a flat network or conducting elements which are isolated from each other and which form a connection assembly. The top surface of this assembly lies in contact with a second cooling element (32), thus forming a sandwich between the first and second cooling elements (30,32).

De manière habituelle, les composants électroniques de puissance, qui sont en particulier utilisés pour réaliser des onduleurs destinés à la traction ferroviaire, comprennent une semelle réalisée par exemple en cuivre.

A multiplicity of composite structures of the conductor-insulator-conductor type which assume both a heat transfer function and

Elles sont par exemple réalisées sous la forme d'un empilement cuivrecéramique-cuivre encore dénommé Direct Bonded Copper (DBC). Ces structures composites peuvent également être exécutées sous forme de substrats métalliques isolés (SMI) qui comprennent une couche inférieure en aluminium ou en cuivre, une couche intermédiaire en époxy et une couche supérieure en  They are for example produced in the form of a copper-ceramic-copper stack also known as Direct Bonded Copper (DBC). These composite structures can also be executed in the form of insulated metallic substrates (SMI) which include a lower layer of aluminum or copper, an intermediate layer of epoxy and a higher layer of

cuivre éventuellement réalisée en plusieurs parties.  copper possibly made in several parts.

Sur chaque structure composite sont disposés plusieurs circuits semiconducteurs de puissance, qui sont par exemple des transistors bipolaires à grille isolée dits IGBT, ou bien encore des diodes. Ces circuits semi-conducteurs sont en outre recouverts sur une de leurs faces par des plots de connexion, et sont assujettis à la couche métallique libre de la structure composite par leur face exempte de plots. Ces circuits y sont fixés par exemple par soudure tendre d'étain- plomb ou encore  On each composite structure are arranged several semiconductor power circuits, which are for example bipolar transistors with an insulated gate called IGBT, or even diodes. These semiconductor circuits are also covered on one of their faces by connection pads, and are subject to the free metallic layer of the composite structure by their face free of pads. These circuits are fixed to it, for example by soft solder of lead-lead or else

Puis on soude, sur chaque plot de connexion, plusieurs fils d'aluminium présentant typiquement un diamètre de 380 à 500 microns. Chacun de ces fils est également soudé sur la couche métallique supérieure de la structure composite. Cet ensemble formé par la semelle, les structures composites et les circuits semi-conducteurs de puissance, est ensuite disposé dans un boîtier rempli de gel silicone et recouvert d'un capot en résine époxy, de manière à former un composant électronique  Then welded, on each connection pad, several aluminum wires typically having a diameter of 380 to 500 microns. Each of these wires is also welded to the upper metal layer of the composite structure. This assembly formed by the sole, the composite structures and the semiconductor power circuits, is then placed in a case filled with silicone gel and covered with an epoxy resin cover, so as to form an electronic component.
