Description
The present invention relates to a direct cooling type power module and a manufacturing method thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to a direct cooling type power module and a manufacturing method thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to a direct cooling type power module, Cooling type power module and a manufacturing method thereof.
Power converters (for example, inverters), which are one of the key components of hybrid cars and electric vehicles, are a major component of eco-friendly vehicles, and many technologies have been developed. Power modules, which are the core components of power converters Is a key technology in the field of environmentally friendly vehicles.
The key technology development points of power module are cost reduction and cooling performance improvement. As the cooling performance of the power module is improved, the rated current of the IGBT and diode, which are currently used power semiconductor elements, can be lowered and the size of the chip size can be reduced, so that the chip cost can be reduced and the power module can be operated stably Do.
Therefore, technology for improving the cooling performance of the power module has been actively developed, and the technology for the two-sided cooling, the one-sided cooling, and the shape and the bonding of the efficient cooler are mainly developed.
Conventional power module technology is divided into section cooling and double-sided cooling according to the cooling surface, and it is divided into indirect cooling and direct cooling depending on the cooling type.
The indirect indirect cooling is achieved by soldering the substrate to the base plate, which serves as a heat spreader, and then joining the cooler with thermal interface material (TIM), usually thermal grease. Because the thermal conductivity of the TIM drops, the overall thermal performance of the inverter is lower than direct cooling.
One-sided direct cooling is a method in which a part of the module is directly brought into contact with the cooler flow path and cooled. At this time, in order to widen the contact surface with the cooling water, a base plate having a cooling fin mainly is used.
Two-sided indirect cooling is proposed to compensate for the drawback that the cooling performance of the indirect cooling is low. The substrate is located on both sides of the semiconductor device, and the two substrates and the cooler are connected through the TIM. Until now, there has not been proposed a double-sided direct cooling system.
Conventionally, a base plate having a cooling fin mainly for direct cooling has been used. The base plate having the cooling fin is mainly manufactured by brazing or die-casting, and thus the cost is high. Further, since the base plate and the substrate must be bonded (mainly soldered), there is a problem that the durability life is deteriorated.
It should be understood that the foregoing description of the background art is merely for the purpose of promoting an understanding of the background of the present invention and is not to be construed as an admission that the prior art is known to those skilled in the art.
