Description

この発明は、モールド樹脂封止型のパワー半導体モジュールをヒートシンクに搭載したパワー半導体装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a power semiconductor device in which a molded resin-sealed power semiconductor module is mounted on a heat sink.

パワーエレクトロニクス装置においては、小型、低コスト、高効率、高性能および高信頼性が望まれている。それに伴って、電力変換用のパワー半導体装置についても小型化、高信頼性が求められている。
パワー半導体装置は、パワー半導体モジュールとヒートシンクとが一体化されたものであって、パワー半導体モジュールは、スイッチング可能なパワー半導体チップと、パワー半導体チップに接続された配線部材とを絶縁樹脂で封止することによって製造されている。
このパワー半導体モジュールの信頼性を確保するために、個々に環境試験および耐久試験など種々の信頼性試験が行われ、試験に合格したパワー半導体モジュールのみがヒートシンクに搭載されている。
パワー半導体モジュールの小型化については、モータージェネレータのような車載用機器などに採用されているモールド封止型のパワー半導体装置では、ヒートシンクがグランド(以下GNDと表す)電位であるため、パワー半導体モジュールの電極のうち、GND電位となる電極をヒートシンクに電気的に接続し、GND電位以外の電極をヒートシンクから絶縁するために、放熱面に絶縁性部材を配置する必要があり、この絶縁性部材が小型化の弊害となっている。
In power electronics devices, small size, low cost, high efficiency, high performance and high reliability are desired. Accordingly, power semiconductor devices for power conversion are also required to be downsized and highly reliable.
The power semiconductor device is an integrated power semiconductor module and heat sink, and the power semiconductor module encapsulates a switchable power semiconductor chip and a wiring member connected to the power semiconductor chip with an insulating resin. It is manufactured by
In order to ensure the reliability of the power semiconductor module, various reliability tests such as an environmental test and an endurance test are individually performed, and only the power semiconductor module that has passed the test is mounted on the heat sink.
Regarding the miniaturization of the power semiconductor module, in a mold-sealed power semiconductor device employed in a vehicle-mounted device such as a motor generator, the heat sink has a ground (hereinafter referred to as GND) potential. In order to electrically connect the electrode having the GND potential to the heat sink and insulate the electrodes other than the GND potential from the heat sink, it is necessary to dispose an insulating member on the heat dissipation surface. This is a negative effect of miniaturization.

このため、絶縁と放熱の両方の特性を満足させるために様々な検討が行われており、例えば、パワー半導体チップを搭載する金属部材の外側に絶縁層を設け、その絶縁層の熱伝導率を向上させるために、絶縁層として、酸化アルミニウムを溶射し、その後に熱処理を施して熱伝導率を上昇させた絶縁層を用いることによってパワー半導体モジュールの熱抵抗を低減させることが提案されている(特許文献1)。
また、小型化のためには、パワー半導体モジュールの電極の構造を工夫し、パワー半導体チップの上面側の電極に板状の電極を接続して露出させて、パワー半導体モジュールの厚さ方向に電極の取り出しを行うことが提案されている(特許文献2)。
For this reason, various studies have been made to satisfy both insulation and heat dissipation characteristics. For example, an insulating layer is provided outside the metal member on which the power semiconductor chip is mounted, and the thermal conductivity of the insulating layer is increased. In order to improve, it has been proposed to reduce the thermal resistance of the power semiconductor module by using an insulating layer in which aluminum oxide is thermally sprayed and then heat-treated to increase the thermal conductivity as the insulating layer ( Patent Document 1).
In order to reduce the size of the power semiconductor module, the electrode structure of the power semiconductor module is devised, and a plate-like electrode is connected to the electrode on the upper surface side of the power semiconductor chip to expose the electrode in the thickness direction of the power semiconductor module. It has been proposed to take out (Patent Document 2).

特許文献1および特許文献2に示された構成のパワー半導体モジュールでは、パワー半導体モジュールそのものの絶縁と放熱、および省スペース化についての提案が行われている。しかし、パワー半導体モジュールをヒートシンクの上に配置する場合には、何れにしても、パワー半導体モジュールのGND電位の電極とGND電位以外の電極とを区別して、ヒートシンクと選択的に導通と絶縁を行うことが必要であり、パワー半導体モジュールとヒートシンクとの間に接続部材を設けることになる。このため省スペース化の障害となる。すなわち、パワー半導体装置としては、搭載されるパワー半導体モジュールが個々に信頼性検査を行うことができ、しかも、パワー半導体モジュールをヒートシンクに搭載した構造体として、高性能化、高信頼化および生産性の向上を図ることが課題として残って
いる。
In the power semiconductor modules having the configurations shown in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, proposals have been made for insulation, heat dissipation, and space saving of the power semiconductor module itself. However, when the power semiconductor module is disposed on the heat sink, in any case, the power semiconductor module is selectively conducted and insulated from the heat sink by distinguishing between the GND potential electrode and the non-GND potential electrode. It is necessary to provide a connecting member between the power semiconductor module and the heat sink. For this reason, it becomes an obstacle to space saving. That is, as a power semiconductor device, the mounted power semiconductor module can be individually tested for reliability, and as a structure in which the power semiconductor module is mounted on a heat sink, high performance, high reliability, and productivity are achieved. It is still an issue to improve

また、ヒートシンクとの対向面にN電極のみを露出し、ヒートシンクはGND電位であり、N電極とヒートシンクがメタル接触することで電気的に接続する構造とし、N電極以外の電極は、薄い樹脂層を介してヒートシンクから放熱するように構成したものである。

この発明によるパワー半導体装置は、前記の構成を採用することによって、パワー半導体チップの電極に接続されたGND電位となるN電極が、パワー半導体モジュールのヒートシンク対向面側に露出して、GND電位のヒートシンク上に固定されることで電気的に接続されているため、パワー半導体チップ単体で、GND電位のN電極とその他の電極の耐圧検査が可能となる。また、ヒートシンクとN電極がメタル接触することで電気的に接続されており、改めて、封止樹脂外側にN電極の延出部とGND接続部品を設ける必要がない。これにより、生産上のロスの増大を防止するとともに、省スペース化が可能となる。また、パワー半導体チップを搭載した電極は、薄い樹脂層を介してヒートシンク接続されており放熱性が損なわれることがない。   In the power semiconductor device according to the present invention, by adopting the above-described configuration, the N electrode having the GND potential connected to the electrode of the power semiconductor chip is exposed to the heat sink facing surface side of the power semiconductor module, and the GND potential is increased. Since it is electrically connected by being fixed on the heat sink, it is possible to inspect the withstand voltage of the N electrode at the GND potential and other electrodes with a single power semiconductor chip. Further, the heat sink and the N electrode are electrically connected by metal contact, and it is not necessary to provide the N electrode extension part and the GND connection part on the outside of the sealing resin again. As a result, an increase in production loss can be prevented and space saving can be achieved. Further, the electrode on which the power semiconductor chip is mounted is connected to the heat sink via a thin resin layer, so that the heat dissipation is not impaired.

Embodiment 1
Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view schematically showing a part of the configuration of the power semiconductor device according to the first embodiment. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a part of a cross-sectional configuration taken along line AA of the power semiconductor device 100 shown in FIG. The power semiconductor device 100 includes a power semiconductor module 10 and a heat sink 20. The power semiconductor module 10 includes a first power semiconductor chip 1, a second power semiconductor chip 2, and the first power semiconductor. A P electrode 3, an N electrode 4, and an AC electrode 5 connected to the chip 1 and the second power semiconductor chip 2 are molded by an insulating member 6 (hereinafter referred to as mold resin).
That is, the first power semiconductor chip 1 is mounted on the P electrode 3, the second power semiconductor chip 2 is mounted on the AC electrode 5, and the electrode of the first power semiconductor chip 1 is connected to the AC electrode 5. The N electrode 4 is connected to the second power semiconductor chip 2. In other words, if the electrodes of the first power semiconductor chip 1 are the first electrode 1a and the second electrode 1b, the P electrode 3 is connected to the first electrode 1a of the first power semiconductor chip 1. Similarly, when the electrodes of the second power semiconductor chip 2 are the first electrode 2a and the second electrode 2b, the N electrode 4 is connected to the first electrode 2a of the second power semiconductor chip 2, The AC electrode 5 is connected to the second electrode 1 b of the first power semiconductor chip 1 and the second electrode 2 b of the second power semiconductor chip 2.

また、第1のパワー半導体チップ1には、信号端子1cが接続され、第2のパワー半導体チップ2には、信号端子2cが接続されている。なお、それぞれの信号端子1c、2cは、例えば、ゲート電極、検温ダイオード電極であって、一般的にパワー半導体デバイスにおいて、制御信号用に使用されている電極である。
ここで説明したP電極3、N電極4、AC電極5は、パワー半導体装置100のリード端子で、このリード端子は、一般的には、帯状の薄い金属板に所定のパターンで打ち抜かれたリードフレームとして供給され、必要な加工処理後、フレームから切り離されて構成されるものである。
In addition, a signal terminal 1 c is connected to the first power semiconductor chip 1, and a signal terminal 2 c is connected to the second power semiconductor chip 2. Each of the signal terminals 1c and 2c is, for example, a gate electrode and a temperature detection diode electrode, and is an electrode generally used for a control signal in a power semiconductor device.
The P electrode 3, N electrode 4, and AC electrode 5 described here are lead terminals of the power semiconductor device 100, and this lead terminal is generally a lead punched out in a predetermined pattern on a strip-shaped thin metal plate. It is supplied as a frame, and is separated from the frame after necessary processing.

すなわち、リードフレーム(全体を図示していない)は、第1のパワー半導体チップ1の下面の第1の電極1aに対して導電性部材6を介して接続されるP電極3と、第2のパワー半導体チップ2の上面の第1の電極2aに対して配線部材7を介して接続されるN電極4と、第1のパワー半導体チップ1の上面の第2の電極1bに対して配線部材7を介して接続されるとともに、第2のパワー半導体チップ2の下面の第2の電極2bと導電性部材を介して接続されるAC電極5を備えている。このリードフレームは、金属製であり、たとえば、銅やアルミを基材とした合金を用いる。リードフレームは、板状の材料をエッチング加工や、プレス加工で配線パターン状に成型されており、リードフレーム表面に基材の金属が露出しているものも使用可能であるが、少なくとも一部にめっき処理をされているものも使用可能である。リードフレームは、片側にパワー半導体チップ、導電性部材、配線部材などが搭載され、モールド樹脂6で包み込まれるように封止された後に、電気配線上不要な部分を除去される。これにより、パワー半導体モジュール10内に回路を構成されている。リードフレームのN電極4以外のP電極3およびAC電極5は、絶縁部材によるモールド樹脂6の側面から延出し、外部の導線と接続されることで、パワー半導体装置100の回路を構成している。   That is, the lead frame (not shown in its entirety) includes the P electrode 3 connected to the first electrode 1a on the lower surface of the first power semiconductor chip 1 via the conductive member 6, and the second electrode 1a. The N electrode 4 connected to the first electrode 2a on the upper surface of the power semiconductor chip 2 via the wiring member 7 and the wiring member 7 to the second electrode 1b on the upper surface of the first power semiconductor chip 1 And an AC electrode 5 connected to the second electrode 2b on the lower surface of the second power semiconductor chip 2 via a conductive member. This lead frame is made of metal, and for example, an alloy based on copper or aluminum is used. The lead frame is formed into a wiring pattern by etching or pressing a plate-like material, and it is also possible to use a substrate with the base metal exposed on the lead frame surface. Those that have been plated can also be used. The lead frame is mounted with a power semiconductor chip, a conductive member, a wiring member, etc. on one side and sealed so as to be wrapped with the mold resin 6, and then unnecessary portions on the electrical wiring are removed. As a result, a circuit is configured in the power semiconductor module 10. The P electrode 3 and the AC electrode 5 other than the N electrode 4 of the lead frame extend from the side surface of the mold resin 6 by an insulating member and are connected to an external lead wire, thereby constituting a circuit of the power semiconductor device 100. .

第1のパワー半導体チップ1および第2のパワー半導体チップ2は、チップ上面とチップ裏面に、それぞれ電極1a、1b、2a、2bを備える。それぞれの電極1a、1b、2a、2bは、それぞれ配線部材7と導電性部材8によって、リード端子であるP電極3、N電極4、AC電極5に機械的、電気的に接続される。通電時の電流は、パワー半導体チップ1、2の厚さ方向に通過する。図1ではパワー半導体チップ1、2は、一例としてMOSFETを示したが、IGBTにも適用可能である。MOSFETやIGBTは、スイッチング可能な素子であり、チップ上面にチップ上面電極とは別の、ゲート部とゲート電極を備える。また、温度を検知する場合には、チップ上面電極およびゲート電極とは別の検温ダイオード部と検温ダイオード電極を設ける。搭載するパワー半導体チップにゲート電極や検温ダイオード電極を搭載するとき、本実施例で示すように、パワー半導体装置は、ゲート電極と電気的に接続するリードフレームの一部で構成されたゲート電極や、検温ダイオード電極に電気的に接続するリードフレームの一部で構成された検温ダイオード電極を搭載する。ゲート電極、検温ダイオード電極は、それぞれリードフレームのゲート電極と検温ダイオード電極などの信号端子1c、2cにワイヤーボンドで接続される。パワー半導体チップ1、2の材料としては、Siのみならず、SiC、SiN、GaN、GaAsなどを用いて作製したものも使用可能である。またパワー半導体チップの上面電極は、Niめっき層などのはんだ付けできる仕様に備える。   The first power semiconductor chip 1 and the second power semiconductor chip 2 include electrodes 1a, 1b, 2a, and 2b on the chip upper surface and the chip back surface, respectively. The electrodes 1a, 1b, 2a, and 2b are mechanically and electrically connected to the P electrode 3, the N electrode 4, and the AC electrode 5, which are lead terminals, by the wiring member 7 and the conductive member 8, respectively. The current during energization passes in the thickness direction of the power semiconductor chips 1 and 2. In FIG. 1, the power semiconductor chips 1 and 2 are shown as MOSFETs as an example, but can also be applied to an IGBT. A MOSFET or IGBT is a switchable element, and includes a gate portion and a gate electrode, which are different from a chip upper surface electrode, on a chip upper surface. Further, when detecting the temperature, a temperature detecting diode portion and a temperature detecting diode electrode different from the chip upper surface electrode and the gate electrode are provided. When a gate electrode or a temperature detection diode electrode is mounted on a power semiconductor chip to be mounted, as shown in this embodiment, the power semiconductor device includes a gate electrode formed of a part of a lead frame electrically connected to the gate electrode, A temperature detecting diode electrode constituted by a part of a lead frame electrically connected to the temperature detecting diode electrode is mounted. The gate electrode and the temperature detection diode electrode are connected to signal terminals 1c and 2c such as a gate electrode of the lead frame and a temperature detection diode electrode by wire bonds, respectively. As a material of the power semiconductor chips 1 and 2, not only Si but also those manufactured using SiC, SiN, GaN, GaAs, or the like can be used. Moreover, the upper surface electrode of the power semiconductor chip is provided with a specification that can be soldered, such as a Ni plating layer.

配線部材7は、チップ上面電極とリードフレームのN電極4もしくはAC電極5を接続する。図1に図示した様に、金属板状の配線部材7を用いる場合は、配線部材7とチップ上面電極1aの間、配線部材7とN電極4もしくはAC電極5の間は、導電性部材8を介して接合される。配線部材7は、モールド樹脂6内部に包括されるように配置されており、製造時に外部から配線部材7を支える部分をもたない。導電性部材8を介して接続される部分同士をつなぐ配線部材7の胴体部は、接続される部分よりもリードフレームから離れる方向に変形している。配線部材7の胴体部の断面積は、通電する電流の量によって決められる。また、実施の形態1では、例として金属板状の配線部材7を示したが、ワイヤーボンドなどの金属線材を用いても良い。   The wiring member 7 connects the chip upper surface electrode and the N electrode 4 or the AC electrode 5 of the lead frame. As shown in FIG. 1, when a metal plate-like wiring member 7 is used, a conductive member 8 is provided between the wiring member 7 and the chip upper surface electrode 1a, and between the wiring member 7 and the N electrode 4 or the AC electrode 5. It is joined via. The wiring member 7 is disposed so as to be included in the mold resin 6 and does not have a portion that supports the wiring member 7 from the outside during manufacture. The body part of the wiring member 7 that connects the parts connected via the conductive member 8 is deformed in a direction away from the lead frame rather than the connected part. The cross-sectional area of the body portion of the wiring member 7 is determined by the amount of current to be applied. Moreover, in Embodiment 1, although the metal plate-shaped wiring member 7 was shown as an example, you may use metal wires, such as a wire bond.

導電性部材8は、チップ上面電極1a、2bと配線部材7の間、配線部材7とリードフレームのN電極4もしくはAC電極5の間、チップ下面電極1b、2aとP電極3もしくはAC電極5の間に配置される。チップ上面電極1a、2bと配線部材7の間の導電性部材6には、はんだが用いられるが、導電性ペーストなどの微細な金属フィラーと樹脂のコンポジット材を用いても良い。   The conductive member 8 is provided between the chip upper surface electrodes 1a and 2b and the wiring member 7, between the wiring member 7 and the N electrode 4 or AC electrode 5 of the lead frame, and between the chip lower surface electrodes 1b and 2a and the P electrode 3 or AC electrode 5. It is arranged between. Solder is used for the conductive member 6 between the chip upper surface electrodes 1a, 2b and the wiring member 7, but a fine metal filler such as a conductive paste and a resin composite material may be used.

モールド樹脂6は、リードフレームと、パワー半導体チップ1、2と、導電性部材8と、配線部材7を略包み込むように配置されることで実装面を封止する。モールド樹脂6は、リードフレーム上に各種構成部材を実装した後に、トランスファー成形により設置される。モールド樹脂6は、絶縁性のフィラーを含んでおり、パワー半導体チップ1、2で生じた発熱を外部に熱伝導により伝達する。モールド樹脂6は、N電極4のヒートシンク20に対向する面が表面に露出するように成形される。封止後に、リードフレームの不要な部分を切り落とし、リードフレームのモールド樹脂6からの延出部を曲げることによってパワー半導体モジュール10が構成される。また、モールド樹脂6はパワー半導体モジュール10の厚さ方向の中心線よりもヒートシンク20側にリードフレームを配置する。これにより、リードフレームはよりヒートシンク20との距離を小さくすることが可能であり放熱性を向上させることができる。   The mold resin 6 seals the mounting surface by being disposed so as to substantially enclose the lead frame, the power semiconductor chips 1 and 2, the conductive member 8, and the wiring member 7. The mold resin 6 is installed by transfer molding after various components are mounted on the lead frame. The mold resin 6 includes an insulating filler, and transmits heat generated by the power semiconductor chips 1 and 2 to the outside by heat conduction. The mold resin 6 is molded such that the surface of the N electrode 4 facing the heat sink 20 is exposed on the surface. After sealing, the power semiconductor module 10 is configured by cutting off unnecessary portions of the lead frame and bending the lead frame extending from the mold resin 6. The mold resin 6 has a lead frame disposed closer to the heat sink 20 than the center line in the thickness direction of the power semiconductor module 10. As a result, the lead frame can further reduce the distance from the heat sink 20 and improve heat dissipation.

絶縁性部材9は、少なくともパワー半導体チップ1、2を搭載するP電極3やAC電極5のヒートシンク20側を覆うように配置されている。このとき、絶縁性部材9はN電極4が露出している面以外のヒートシンク側20を覆っていても良い。また、絶縁性部材9は、パワー半導体装置100をヒートシンク20に搭載した際に、ヒートシンク20の対向面とヒートシンク20が接するように構成されている。これにより、パワー半導体モジュールで生じた発熱を薄い絶縁性部材9を介してヒートシンク20へ伝達し、ヒートシンク20から外部へ排出される。絶縁性部材9とヒートシンク20の間には、接触部の熱抵抗を減少させる放熱グリース91を用いるのが良い。放熱グリース91を使用すると、パワー半導体モジュール10をヒートシンク20に固着する際の隙間の調整として役立ち、密着性がよくなる。絶縁性部材9は、樹脂に絶縁性のフィラーを混合した絶縁性樹脂を用いる。絶縁性部材9は、トランスファー成形により形成され、必要とされる放熱性により部材の熱伝導率を変化させればよく、放熱性を満たせばモールド樹脂6と同じ材料で構成してもよい。モールド樹脂6で構成する場合には、トランスファー成形時に一括に絶縁性部材9を構成することができ生産性をよくできる。また、絶縁性部材9の厚さを薄くすることで、ヒートシンク20とP電極3やAC電極5とヒートシンク20との距離を短くし、熱抵抗を小さくすることで放熱性を向上できる。また、絶縁性部材とモールド樹脂6で、N電極4とP電極3とAC電極5もしくは信号端子1c、2cはそれぞれ絶縁されおり、パワー半導体モジュール10単品で耐圧検査が可能となる。   The insulating member 9 is disposed so as to cover at least the P electrode 3 on which the power semiconductor chips 1 and 2 are mounted and the AC electrode 5 on the heat sink 20 side. At this time, the insulating member 9 may cover the heat sink side 20 other than the surface where the N electrode 4 is exposed. The insulating member 9 is configured such that when the power semiconductor device 100 is mounted on the heat sink 20, the opposing surface of the heat sink 20 and the heat sink 20 are in contact with each other. Thereby, the heat generated in the power semiconductor module is transmitted to the heat sink 20 through the thin insulating member 9 and is discharged from the heat sink 20 to the outside. Between the insulating member 9 and the heat sink 20, it is preferable to use a heat radiation grease 91 that reduces the thermal resistance of the contact portion. When the heat dissipating grease 91 is used, it serves as adjustment of a gap when the power semiconductor module 10 is fixed to the heat sink 20, and adhesion is improved. The insulating member 9 uses an insulating resin in which an insulating filler is mixed with a resin. The insulating member 9 may be formed by transfer molding, and the thermal conductivity of the member may be changed depending on the required heat dissipation. The insulating member 9 may be made of the same material as the mold resin 6 as long as the heat dissipation is satisfied. In the case of using the mold resin 6, the insulating member 9 can be formed collectively at the time of transfer molding, and the productivity can be improved. Further, by reducing the thickness of the insulating member 9, the distance between the heat sink 20 and the P electrode 3 or the AC electrode 5 and the heat sink 20 can be shortened, and the heat dissipation can be improved by reducing the thermal resistance. Further, the N electrode 4, the P electrode 3, and the AC electrode 5 or the signal terminals 1c and 2c are insulated from each other by the insulating member and the mold resin 6, so that the power semiconductor module 10 can be individually tested for withstand voltage.

ヒートシンク20は、アルミニウムもしくは銅などの金属を基材にした合金を、鋳造、鍛造、板金加工、切削加工などで加工して構成される。ヒートシンク20は、強制空冷用であり、パワー半導体モジュール10の搭載面の反対側には図示しない放熱フィンなどの面積拡大機構を備える。パワー半導体モジュール10の搭載部は、N電極4と接触するようにパワー回路用モジュールの放熱面に合せた形状を備える。パワー半導体モジュール10のN電極4とヒートシンク20の搭載面が押し付けられることで電気的に接続される。また、N電極4の露出部のモールド樹脂6の凹みとヒートシンク20の凸部が嵌ることでパワー半導体モジュールの位置決め効果も得られる。   The heat sink 20 is configured by processing an alloy based on a metal such as aluminum or copper by casting, forging, sheet metal processing, cutting, or the like. The heat sink 20 is for forced air cooling, and includes an area expansion mechanism such as a radiation fin (not shown) on the opposite side of the mounting surface of the power semiconductor module 10. The mounting portion of the power semiconductor module 10 has a shape matching the heat radiation surface of the power circuit module so as to be in contact with the N electrode 4. The power semiconductor module 10 is electrically connected by pressing the mounting surface of the N electrode 4 and the heat sink 20. Further, the positioning effect of the power semiconductor module can be obtained by fitting the concave portion of the mold resin 6 in the exposed portion of the N electrode 4 and the convex portion of the heat sink 20.

パワー半導体モジュール10は、ヒートシンク20のパワー半導体モジュール10搭載面に対して垂直な方向に貫通穴30を備える。また、ヒートシンク20は、パワー半導体モジュール10の貫通穴30と適合する位置にねじ穴31を備え、図2に示すように、パワー半導体モジュール10のヒートシンク20に対して反対側からねじ32によってねじ留めして固定される。このとき、N電極4とヒートシンク20が押し付けられて接触し、電気的に接続する。これにより、パワー半導体モジュール10にN電極4の延出部と、N電極4とヒートシンク20のGND接続部材を省略でき、パワー半導体装置100の小型化が可能となる。また、組み立て工程を簡略化するとともに、分解も可能となる。   The power semiconductor module 10 includes a through hole 30 in a direction perpendicular to the power semiconductor module 10 mounting surface of the heat sink 20. Further, the heat sink 20 is provided with a screw hole 31 at a position matching with the through hole 30 of the power semiconductor module 10, and is screwed with a screw 32 from the opposite side to the heat sink 20 of the power semiconductor module 10 as shown in FIG. 2. Fixed. At this time, the N electrode 4 and the heat sink 20 are pressed against each other and are electrically connected. Thereby, the extension part of the N electrode 4 and the GND connection member of the N electrode 4 and the heat sink 20 can be omitted from the power semiconductor module 10, and the power semiconductor device 100 can be downsized. In addition, the assembly process can be simplified and disassembled.

前述のように構成されることで、パワー半導体装置100は、パワー半導体チップ1、2からの放熱性を損なうことなく、パワー半導体モジュール10の耐圧検査を単品で実施可能とするととともに、GND接続部品の省略によりパワー半導体モジュール10の省スペース化が可能となる。
実施の形態2
By being configured as described above, the power semiconductor device 100 can perform the breakdown voltage test of the power semiconductor module 10 as a single product without impairing the heat dissipation from the power semiconductor chips 1 and 2, and the GND connection component. Omission of the power semiconductor module 10 can save space.
Embodiment 2

つぎに、実施の形態2を図に基づいて説明する。
図3は、実施の形態2に係るパワー半導体装置100の構成の一部を模式的に示す断面図である。実施の形態2によるパワー半導体装置100は、パワー半導体モジュール10の貫通穴30を通してヒートシンク20にねじ留めするときに、ねじ32の座面とパワー半導体装置100の間に皿ばね33を備える。ねじ32を締めたときに、皿ばね33がねじ32の座面で押されパワー半導体モジュール10がヒートシンク20に押し付けられることで、N電極4とヒートシンク20が電気的に接続される。
Next, Embodiment 2 will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a part of the configuration of the power semiconductor device 100 according to the second embodiment. The power semiconductor device 100 according to the second embodiment includes a disc spring 33 between the seating surface of the screw 32 and the power semiconductor device 100 when screwed to the heat sink 20 through the through hole 30 of the power semiconductor module 10. When the screw 32 is tightened, the disc spring 33 is pushed by the seating surface of the screw 32 and the power semiconductor module 10 is pushed against the heat sink 20, whereby the N electrode 4 and the heat sink 20 are electrically connected.

皿ばね33を介して加圧する場合は、ねじ32の座面でパワー半導体モジュール10がヒートシンク20に直接加圧される場合と比較して、パワー半導体モジュール10の上の被加圧面積を大きくすることができ、ねじ32の締め付けによるモールド樹脂6の割れ耐性を向上できる。また、パワー半導体モジュール10は、通電時の自己発熱や、外部からの受熱により、温度が変化した時に線膨張係数に基づいた膨張をするが、皿ばね33が変形することで吸収し、接触部の応力が高まりモールド樹脂6が割れたり、内部のパワー半導体チップ1、2が損傷したりすることを防止する。逆に、設置された雰囲気温度が低下した場合など、パワー半導体装置100の温度が低下した場合でも、パワー半導体モジュール10は収縮するが、これに関しても皿ばね33が変形することによって締め付け力の低下を防止し、ねじ32の締め付け保持寿命を向上させるとともに、パワー半導体モジュール10とヒートシンク20との接触面の圧力の低下を防止し、放熱性を確保することが可能となる。
実施の形態3
When the pressure is applied via the disc spring 33, the area to be pressed on the power semiconductor module 10 is increased as compared with the case where the power semiconductor module 10 is directly pressed against the heat sink 20 by the seating surface of the screw 32. The crack resistance of the mold resin 6 by tightening the screws 32 can be improved. In addition, the power semiconductor module 10 expands based on the linear expansion coefficient when the temperature changes due to self-heating when energized or received heat from the outside, but absorbs the deformation of the disc spring 33, and the contact portion To prevent the mold resin 6 from being cracked and the internal power semiconductor chips 1 and 2 from being damaged. Conversely, even when the temperature of the power semiconductor device 100 decreases, such as when the installed ambient temperature decreases, the power semiconductor module 10 contracts, but also in this regard, the disc spring 33 is deformed to reduce the tightening force. It is possible to prevent the decrease in pressure on the contact surface between the power semiconductor module 10 and the heat sink 20 and to ensure heat dissipation.
Embodiment 3

次に、実施の形態3を図に基づいて説明する。
図4は、実施の形態3に係るパワー半導体装置100の構成を模式的に示す断面図である。実施の形態3によるパワー半導体装置100においては、貫通穴30をN電極4の平面内を通るように設け、N電極4の上面と下面の両面をモールド樹脂6から露出するように構成している。この構成においてねじ32を締め付けると、ねじ32の座面によってN電極4の露出面が加圧され、N電極4がヒートシンクに押し付けられることで電気的に接続される。
Next, Embodiment 3 will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the configuration of the power semiconductor device 100 according to the third embodiment. In power semiconductor device 100 according to the third embodiment, through hole 30 is provided so as to pass through the plane of N electrode 4, and both the upper and lower surfaces of N electrode 4 are exposed from mold resin 6. . When the screw 32 is tightened in this configuration, the exposed surface of the N electrode 4 is pressed by the seating surface of the screw 32, and the N electrode 4 is pressed against the heat sink to be electrically connected.

この構造を備えることで、ねじ締めによりパワー半導体モジュール10をヒートシンク20に固定するときに、モールド樹脂6を介さないでねじ締めすることが可能となり、モールド樹脂6の割れを防止するために制約されるねじ32の締め付けトルクを大きくできる。これにより、パワー半導体モジュール10とヒートシンク20を強固に固定できる。また、N電極の露出部分のみを加圧する構造となるため、モールド樹脂6の内部に封止された各種部品に応力が生じるのを回避できる。また、締め付けトルクを大きくしたことで、N電極4とヒートシンク20が強力に押し付けられ、接触面の電気抵抗をより小さくすることができる。   With this structure, when the power semiconductor module 10 is fixed to the heat sink 20 by screw tightening, it is possible to tighten the screw without using the mold resin 6, and it is restricted to prevent cracking of the mold resin 6. The tightening torque of the screw 32 can be increased. Thereby, the power semiconductor module 10 and the heat sink 20 can be firmly fixed. In addition, since only the exposed portion of the N electrode is pressurized, it is possible to avoid stress from being generated in various parts sealed inside the mold resin 6. Further, by increasing the tightening torque, the N electrode 4 and the heat sink 20 are strongly pressed, and the electrical resistance of the contact surface can be further reduced.

また、N電極4の露出部を、変形しやすい可撓性の構造体とすることによってさらに効果的な締め付けを行うことができる。たとえば、図5に示すような可撓性構造部34とすることで、ねじ締め付け時にねじ32の座面でN電極4の可撓性構造部34が押されることで、ねじ締め方向に変形する。N電極4の露出部が変形することで、モールド樹脂6とリード端子(P電極、AC電極)との間に生じる応力を低減し、界面が剥がれるのを防止できることになる。また、本発明では、ねじ32でパワー半導体モジュール10をヒートシンク20に固定した時に、N電極4とヒートシンク20が電気的に接続されるとともに、絶縁性部材9がヒートシンク20に押し付けられることで良好な放熱経路を形成する構造である。このとき、N電極4のヒートシンク20への対向面と絶縁性部材9の段差寸法は、本構造を実現できる高い精度が必要となる。N電極4の露出部が可撓性構造部34を備えることで、締め付け時に変形によって例え段差が存在していても、可撓性構造部34の僅かな変形によってより調整されるため、段差の寸法許容値を大きく設定することが可能となり、生産性が向上し、コストを低減できる。   Further, by making the exposed portion of the N electrode 4 a flexible structure that can be easily deformed, more effective tightening can be performed. For example, when the flexible structure portion 34 as shown in FIG. 5 is used, the flexible structure portion 34 of the N electrode 4 is pushed by the seating surface of the screw 32 at the time of screw tightening, so that it deforms in the screw tightening direction. . By deforming the exposed portion of the N electrode 4, the stress generated between the mold resin 6 and the lead terminal (P electrode, AC electrode) can be reduced and the interface can be prevented from peeling off. In the present invention, when the power semiconductor module 10 is fixed to the heat sink 20 with the screw 32, the N electrode 4 and the heat sink 20 are electrically connected, and the insulating member 9 is pressed against the heat sink 20, which is favorable. It is a structure that forms a heat dissipation path. At this time, the step size of the surface of the N electrode 4 facing the heat sink 20 and the insulating member 9 needs to be highly accurate to realize this structure. Since the exposed portion of the N electrode 4 includes the flexible structure portion 34, even if a step is present due to deformation at the time of tightening, it is further adjusted by slight deformation of the flexible structure portion 34. It becomes possible to set a large dimensional tolerance, which improves productivity and reduces costs.

また、図6に示すような金属板35をパワー半導体モジュール10の表面の貫通穴30の出口に備えても良い。この場合も、ねじ締めされたときに、モールド樹脂6は接触面積がねじ32の座面よりも大きい金属板35を介して加圧されるので、モールド樹脂6の割れを防ぐことができる。金属板35は、トランスファー成形時に一体成型しても良いし、トランスファー成形時に金属板35を配置する窪みを形成し、ヒートシンク20にパワー半導体モジュール10を取り付けるときに配置しても良い。あとから金属板35を配置する場合は、金属製の座金、ばね座金などを使用するとねじ緩みの耐性を向上する効果がある。
実施の形態4
A metal plate 35 as shown in FIG. 6 may be provided at the outlet of the through hole 30 on the surface of the power semiconductor module 10. Also in this case, since the mold resin 6 is pressurized through the metal plate 35 having a contact area larger than the seating surface of the screw 32 when screwed, the mold resin 6 can be prevented from cracking. The metal plate 35 may be integrally formed at the time of transfer molding, or may be disposed at the time of attaching the power semiconductor module 10 to the heat sink 20 by forming a recess in which the metal plate 35 is disposed at the time of transfer molding. When the metal plate 35 is disposed later, the use of a metal washer, a spring washer or the like has an effect of improving the resistance to screw loosening.

Next, a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the configuration of the power semiconductor device 100 according to the fourth embodiment. The power semiconductor device 100 includes a spring 40 that fixes the power semiconductor module 10. The power semiconductor module 10 is fixed onto the heat sink 20 by being pressed against the heat sink 20 by the spring 40. In this case, the through hole 30 is not provided in the power semiconductor module 10. The fixing portion of the spring 40 may be installed on the heat sink 20 of the power semiconductor device 100 or may be installed in a housing of a product in which the power semiconductor device 100 is incorporated.

前述の構成を備えることで、組み立て時にパワー半導体モジュール10はヒートシンク20に搭載し、ばね40で加圧することで固定できるため、組み立てが容易になる。また、パワー半導体モジュール10は、ねじ32で固定する場合のような貫通穴30を備える必要がなく、さらなる小型化が可能となる。この加圧方法では、パワー半導体モジュール10の表面の任意の箇所を複数点加圧することができるため、N電極4とヒートシンク20の接触面や、絶縁性部材9とヒートシンク20の接触面を均等に加圧することでできる。この時、ばね40は、パワー半導体モジュール10のヒートシンク20の反対側の面内で、パワー半導体チップ1、2の搭載部の投影面上に重ならない面を加圧するようにすることで、パワー半導体チップ1、2とその近傍にある部材に生じる応力を低減でき、加圧力の許容範囲を広げ、導電性部材8の寿命を長くできる効果がある。
実施の形態5
With the above-described configuration, the power semiconductor module 10 can be mounted on the heat sink 20 during assembly, and can be fixed by applying pressure with the spring 40, so that assembly is facilitated. Further, the power semiconductor module 10 does not need to include the through hole 30 as in the case of being fixed with the screw 32, and can be further downsized. In this pressurizing method, a plurality of points on the surface of the power semiconductor module 10 can be pressed, so that the contact surface between the N electrode 4 and the heat sink 20 and the contact surface between the insulating member 9 and the heat sink 20 are evenly distributed. It can be done by applying pressure. At this time, the spring 40 pressurizes a surface that does not overlap the projection surface of the mounting portion of the power semiconductor chips 1 and 2 within the surface of the power semiconductor module 10 on the side opposite to the heat sink 20. The stress generated in the chips 1 and 2 and the members in the vicinity thereof can be reduced, the allowable range of the applied pressure can be expanded, and the life of the conductive member 8 can be extended.

Next, a fifth embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the configuration of the power semiconductor module 10 according to the fifth embodiment. The exposed surface of the N electrode 4 of the power semiconductor module 10 and the heat sink facing surface of the insulating member 9 are arranged on substantially the same plane. In this structure, the N electrode 4 of the lead frame is bent in advance so that the N electrode 4 becomes flush with the insulating member after the power semiconductor module 10 is molded, or a step is provided by making it into a semi-shear state by pressing. (FIG. 8A). It is also possible to configure at least a part of the N electrode 4 of the lead frame by increasing the thickness as compared with the P electrode 3 and the AC electrode 5 (FIG. 8B). Alternatively, it may be configured by arranging a wiring member 50 that is electrically connected to the N electrode 4 and has substantially the same thickness as the insulating member 9 (FIG. 8C).

この構成とすることで、パワー半導体モジュール10がヒートシンク20に押し付けられた時に絶縁性部材9とN電極4の露出面が均等に加圧され、良好なコンタクトと接触部の小さい熱抵抗を容易に実現できる。また、パワー半導体モジュール10をトランスファー成型する際に、金型の構造を簡略化しやすく金型費を低減できる。ヒートシンク20は、パワー半導体モジュール10の搭載面を平面とすればよく、ヒートシンクの成形が容易となる。さらに、ヒートシンク20とパワー半導体モジュール10の放熱面および固定面となる面積が増加するため、放熱性と耐振性が向上する。
実施の形態6
With this configuration, when the power semiconductor module 10 is pressed against the heat sink 20, the exposed surfaces of the insulating member 9 and the N electrode 4 are evenly pressurized, and a good contact and a small thermal resistance of the contact portion can be easily achieved. realizable. Further, when the power semiconductor module 10 is transfer-molded, the mold structure can be easily simplified and the mold cost can be reduced. The heat sink 20 only needs to have a flat mounting surface for the power semiconductor module 10, and the heat sink can be easily formed. Further, since the areas of the heat sink 20 and the power semiconductor module 10 serving as the heat radiating surface and the fixing surface are increased, the heat radiating property and the vibration resistance are improved.
