Recently, there has been a need for an IGBT module having a larger capacity, a smaller size, and a lower inductance for industrial use or vehicle use. However, the conventional connection on the emitter side is 30
In a module structure using Al wire bonding with a diameter of about 0 μm, heat can be dissipated from the collector side, but heat cannot be dissipated from the emitter side. In this situation, a large number of IGBT chips are required, and it is unavoidable to increase the size of the module itself. In addition, the number of Al conductors to be bonded in the module inevitably increases, from several tens to several hundreds, which increases their inductance, making them applicable to high-frequency applications. It's getting harder.

[0004] The object of the present invention is not limited to the IGBT module, and it is possible to suppress the increase in the number of semiconductor elements even when the capacity is increased by improving the heat dissipation from the upper surface of the semiconductor element. An object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device in which internal inductance does not increase due to connection to a top electrode.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, an IGBT module container has a side wall 31 made of an insulator and a lid plate made of a good conductor.
32, a bottom plate 33, and a structure in which a space 34 in the container is filled with fluorocarbon. The individual containers 30 each having one IGBT chip sealed therein are fixed on the container bottom plate 33. FIG. 6 shows the interior of the individual container 30. The IGBT chip 1 is fixed to the collector terminal plate 3 on the lower surface of the container by a collector electrode, and
A contact plate 51 made of Mo, Cu, or the like is joined.
The contact plate 51 projects through the container outer wall 35 made of an insulating material. The space 36 inside the individual container may be filled with the gel. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, a band-like connecting conductor 81 is brazed to the top surface of the contact plate 51, and is drawn out from the container cover plate 32 to an external terminal. Therefore, between the IGBT chip 1 and the connection conductor 81, a current and heat path composed of the emitter collector electrode 11 and the contact plate 51 is formed. The heat transferred in this manner is first radiated by the heat exchange performed between the contact plate 51 and the fluorocarbon in the space 34, and subsequently by the heat exchange performed between the boiling and condensing fluorocarbon and the container lid plate 32. . Although not shown here, the gate electrode of the IGBT chip 1 is connected to a gate terminal exposed on the outer surface of the container by bonding an Al conductor.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 7 has a structure in which heat is radiated from an IGBT module container using a heat pipe. In this case, the emitter contact plate 51 projecting from each individual container 30 is connected to the container cover plate 32 by brazing or pressurizing contact, so that heat is efficiently transmitted to the heat pipe 37. FIG. 8 shows a structure in which the IGBT module as described above is configured as a three-phase inverter stack. Each of the six IGBT modules 21 is sandwiched between two cooling bodies 22 via three intermediate cooling bodies 23. Each cooling body
Holes 24 for inserting a heat pipe or passing cooling water are formed in 22, 23. As described above, since the low inductance module is assembled such that the cooling body also serving as an electrical connection body comes into contact with the terminal boards on both sides, the whole inverter stack is low in inductance and compact. In the above embodiment, the IGB
Although the T module has been described, it goes without saying that the present invention can be similarly applied to a module containing a plurality of other semiconductor elements.
