Description

本発明は、パワー半導体モジュールに係り、特に直流電力を交流電力に変換し、あるいは交流電力を直流電力に変換する電力変換装置に好適なパワー半導体モジュール関する。
電力変換装置は、直流電源から供給された直流電力を回転電機などの交流負荷に供給するため交流電力に変換する機能、あるいは回転電機により発電された交流電力を直流電源に供給するため直流電力に変換する機能を備えている。
このような変換機能を果すため、電力変換装置はスイッチング機能を持つ半導体素子を有するインバータを備え、前記半導体素子を繰り返し導通、遮断させることにより、直流電力から交流電力へあるいは交流電力から直流電力への電力変換を行う。
前記スイッチング用の半導体素子は、スイッチング時及び通電時に発熱する。このため、半導体素子は、高熱伝導部材の上に搭載した放熱構造をとる。
特に電力変換装置の小型、低コスト化のためには、高放熱構造にして、半導体素子の面積を小型化することが望ましい。
特許文献1には、半導体素子の両面をハンダを介して高熱伝導部材に接続することにより、半導体素子の両面から放熱する構造が開示されている。
また、特許文献2には、チップ上に円柱状の金属をハンダ接続し、さらに該金属はんだの上面に金属板をハンダ接続し、半導体素子の両面から放熱する構造が開示されている。
また、特許文献3には、Siチップを接合部材と放熱板とで挟み込んだ構成にすることにより、熱膨張係数差に基づく熱応力の発生を抑制することが開示されている。
しかしながら、パワー半導体モジュール内部への応力の低減が十分ではなく、信頼性の確保が十分ではなかった。

本発明が解決しようとする課題は、パワー半導体モジュールの信頼性を向上させることである。
本発明は上記課題を解決するため、次のような手段を採用した。
表面と裏面に接続用の電極面を有する半導体素子の裏面を、第1の取り出し電極に対し、ハンダを介して接続し、前記半導体素子の表面には、少なくとも2種類の金属を積層した積層構造をもつ積層導体の一方の金属面を直接、金属間接続し、前記積層導体の他方の金属面には、第2の取り出し電極をハンダを介して接続したパワー半導体モジュールにおいて、前記積層導体は、複数のアーチ状の凸部と該アーチ状の凸部を接続する直線部を備え、該直線部を前記半導体素子の表面と接続し、前記凸部を前記第2の取り出し電極と接続した。
本発明により、パワー半導体モジュールの信頼性を向上させることができる。

本実施形態を説明する前に、本実施形態の原理について以下に説明する。
従来の半導体素子の両面を冷却する構造は、半導体素子の両面に高熱伝導率の金属をハンダ付けする。このため、半導体素子の温度上昇にともない、半導体素子とハンダ付けした高熱伝導率の金属との線膨張係数の違いにより、ハンダ部に応力が集中し、長期使用すると亀裂などが発生する。このため、前記金属の周りを樹脂で固めて金属部の膨張を防いだり、金属にセラミックをロウ付けして、見かけ上の熱膨張係数を小さくして、ハンダへの応力を小さくし、寿命劣化を防いでいた。
しかし、両面を冷却する構造は、半導体素子の両側から金属で挟み込む構造のため、組立時、あるいはインバータ実装時に、半導体素子およびハンダに直接応力が加わり、これらに亀裂が生じる可能性がある。
また、半導体素子の製造に際しては、両面をハンダ付けするためのメッキ処理が必要になり、従来の裏面だけの片面処理のプロセスに比して、処理が複雑になる。
半導体素子の表面には、スイッチング制御用の電極パッド、電流センサあるいは温度センサ用の電極パッドなどの外、半導体素子の外周に素子耐圧を確保する領域があり、これらの領域をショートや汚染を防ぐ必要がある。このため、両面をはんだ付けするためにメッキ処理することは、メッキのコストが増加するだけでなく、信頼性、歩留まりの低下の原因となり、コストの増加を招く。また、メッキ洗浄液の処理など環境への負荷が大きくなる。
本発明は、これらの問題点に鑑みてなされたもので、片面メッキ処理プロセスの半導体素子を用い、半導体素子の両面を冷却する放熱構造で、しかも内部への応力を低減することのできるパワー半導体モジュールを提供するものである。
本実施形態は以下の構成を備えるため、パワー半導体モジュールを構成する半導体素子の両面を冷却でき、しかも内部への応力を低減することのできる放熱構造を、片面メッキ処理プロセスの半導体素子を用いて実現することができる。
以下、実施形態を添付図面を参照しながら説明する。
図1は、本実施形態に係る半導体モジュールを説明する図である。また、図2は、前記半導体モジュールの接続分解図である。
半導体素子40は、その下面電極が外部取り出し電極60にハンダ20を介して接続され、また、半導体素子40の上面の制御電極は、制御用のワイヤ75を介して外部取り出し電極(制御端子)70へ接続される。
半導体素子の上面電極には、2種類の金属層をもつクラッド材30が、超音波により接続される。半導体素子40の上面電極は、大電流用の素子ではアルミで構成される。クラッド材30は、アルミ33と銅32の2層からなり、アルミ33側を半導体素子の上面側にすることにより、超音波接合が可能になる。この超音波接合をした後、外部取り出し電極10とクラッド材30の銅32側をハンダ21により接合する。さらに、モールド樹脂80により外部を固める。これにより、半導体素子40の上面と下面が冷却可能な両面冷却モジュール100が形成される。クラッド材30は平板状の薄板であり、厚さ0.2mm以下とすることにより、従来の超音波接続のように、超音波周波数が接合界面に伝わりやすくなり、確実に半導体素子40の上面と接続することができる。
ここで、クラッド材30を、アーチ部35と直線部36で構成することにより、半導体素子40の上面を、超音波で接続する直線部36と、ハンダ21で接続するアーチ部に分けることができる。このアーチ部により、半導体素子40の上面から加わる応力を緩和することができる。
クラッド材30の外部取り出し電極10側に接続する部分をアーチ状にすることにより、電極10の接続時に、ハンダ20の厚みのばらつきで半導体素子40が傾き、高さにばらつきが生じた場合においても、アーチ部が変形してばらつきを吸収することがでる。これにより、クラッド材40と電極10とを確実にハンダ接続することができる。
このように、一旦、半導体素子40の表面とクラッド材30の直線部分36とを超音波接続することにより、半導体素子の表面に直接ハンダで接続する従来の両面冷却構造に比べて、確実に半導体素子40の両面を冷却する接続を作ることができる。また、半導体素子40は、従来のプロセスのままでよい。すなわち、表面にハンダ用のメッキ処理をしなくてもよくなり、コストアップと歩留まりの低下を防ぐことができる。
制御端子70は、半導体素子40のスイッチング制御のため、外部からオン、オフ用の電圧を加える端子であり、半導体素子40とアルミワイヤなどの制御端子用ワイヤ75で接続する。この図では、端子70をわかり易くするため、取り出し電極10、60の間に描いたが、電極60と同一平面上に形成し、図2に示す電極10をハンダ21で接続する前の、半導体素子40の上面が見えるときに配線をする。
図3は、両面冷却モジュール100の第1の実施形態を示す図である。両面冷却モジュール100の上下面を絶縁板90を介して冷却フィン95で挟みこみ、固定金具97により固定する。ここで固定金具97は、両面冷却モジュール100を均一に加圧できるように複数個を配置する。
絶縁板90は、窒化アルミ、窒化ケイ素、アルミナなどのセラミック、あるいは高熱伝導率の樹脂で構成する。セラミックで構成する場合は冷却フィン95にロウ付けしてもよい。また、冷却フィンと外部取り出し電極の両方にロウ付けしたものを用いてもよい。樹脂で構成する場合は、冷却フィン95に予め接着したものを用いてもよい。
図4は、両面冷却モジュール100の第2の実施形態を示す図であるc。図に示すように、絶縁板90上面に取り出し電極10、60を形成し、下面に冷却用金属板96をロウ付けした絶縁金属基板98の上面に、半導体素子40をハンダ20で接続する。クラッド材30のアルミ33側を半導体素子40の電極10に超音波接続する。さらに、クラッド材30の銅32側に冷却用金属板15を、ハンダ21で接続する。これにより、半導体素子の上面の電流経路と冷却経路を分離することができる。これにより、半導体素子40の上面の冷却経路自体に電流が流れることによる発熱を低減できる。また、従来の半導体モジュールに近い構造で、上面冷却構造が実現できる。なお、この図では制御端子70は省略している。また、上面の冷却用金属板15は、絶縁金属基板98に代えることができる。
図5は、両面冷却モジュール100の第3の実施形態を示す図である。絶縁基板90の上面に電極10、60を、下面にフィンの付いた冷却用金属板96Fをロウ付けしたフィン付き絶縁基板96Fを用い、半導体素子40を電極20にハンダ20で接続する。クラッド材30のアルミ33側を、半導体素子40と電極10に超音波接続する。さらに、クラッド材30の銅32側に冷却用金属板15を、ハンダ21で接続する。なお、上面の冷却用金属板15は、フィン付き絶縁金属基板98Fに代えることができる。
図6は、両面冷却モジュール100の第4の実施形態を説明する図である。両面にフィン付き絶縁基板96Fを用い、スイッチング回路を2つ搭載した例である。外部端子として、高電位側に接続する端子60P、低電位側に接続する端子60N、スイッチングにより高電位または低電位を出力する端子60Uがある。また、高電位側および低電位側のスイッチング回路を駆動するため、高電位側の制御端子10U、低電位側の出力端子10Dがある。
図7は、第4の実施形態に係る半導体モジュールの分解図を示す。フィン96F、絶縁基板90、電極60P、60N、60U、制御配線10U、10Dをろう付けして構成されたフィン付き絶縁基板上に、IGBTチップ40I、ダイオードチップ40Dをハンダ20で接続する。これにより、チップ裏面を電極に接続することができる。チップ上面は、クラッド材30を介して取り出し電極と接続され、ハンダ21を介してフィン付き絶縁基板98と接続される。これにより、両面冷却モジュールが構成される。なお、ここではモールド材は図示していない。
図8は、両面冷却モジュール100の第5の実施形態を示す図である。半導体素子40をロウ付けした冷却用金属板96を両面に用い、半導体素子をチップ両面から冷却する構造で、スイッチング回路を2つ搭載した例である。外部端子として、高電位側に接続する端子60P、低電位側に接続する端子60N、スイッチングにより高電位、低電位を出力する端子60Uを備える。また、高電位、低電位側をスイッチングするため、高電位側の制御端子10U、低電位側の出力端子10Dを備える。
図9は、両面冷却モジュール100を用いたインバータの実装例を示す図である。スイッチング時に電流を供給する平滑コンデンサ110の上に、冷却フィンを内蔵した板状の配管95を設置する。接続端子112には、両面冷却モジュール100の取り出し電極を接続して固定する。
板状の配管95は固定金具97を用いて両面冷却モジュール100を挟み込むように固定する。このとき、配管とモジュールの間には密着性が良く、熱伝達率のよいグリスを挟むとよい。また、制御基板120と両面冷却モジュール100間を制御端子コネクタ124で接続する。制御基板120上には、スイッチング制御IC122を搭載し、両面冷却モジュール内の半導体素子40のゲートを駆動する。
両面冷却モジュール100は、スイッチング用の半導体素子を直列に2つ接続した回路をとり、直列接続した部分から電圧を出力することで、直列回路の両端電圧の何れか一方を出力できる構成をとる。このため、接続した部分から電位を取り出す配線65をもつ。この配線65は、モータへ接続するケーブルに接続する。制御基板120には、モータへの電流をモニタする電流センサ126が搭載され、外部のマイコン基板(図示せず)には、コネクタ128を通してモニタ結果を伝える。
平滑コンデンサモジュール110は、電源である電池からのケーブルを接続する端子114を備える。平滑コンデンサモジュール内部は、平滑用のコンデンサ素子の他、フィルタ用のリアクトルおよび放電用抵抗が内蔵される。
以上説明したように、本実施形態の半導体モジュールによれば、従来のプロセスで形成された半導体素子
(片面メッキ処理プロセスの半導体素子)を用い、半導体素子の両面を冷却する放熱構造で、しかも内部へ
の応力を低減することのできるパワー半導体モジュールを得ることができる。このため、小型・低コストの
半導体素子を用いた電力変換装置を提供することができる。また、パワー半導体モジュールのインダクタンスを低減することができ、また体積の増大を抑えることができる。
