- the heat transfer performance and insulation properties of the insulating sheet 333 also depend on the thickness of the insulating sheet 333. Therefore, when the dimensional variation and the parallelism variation of the plurality of semiconductor element blocks are absorbed by the deformation of the insulating sheet 333, the heat transfer performance and insulation of the insulating sheet 333 vary between the plurality of semiconductor element blocks. . In addition, since the dimensional variation and the parallelism variation are different for each semiconductor element block, in order to cope with it, it is necessary to make the thickness of the insulating sheet 333 with a margin, and control of thermal conductivity and insulation.

Abstract
Description
本発明の第2の態様によると、第1の態様の半導体モジュールにおいて、導体板は、半導体素子側に屈曲するように形成されて、並列配置された他の半導体素子ブロックの導体板と接続される連結部を備えるようにしても良い。
本発明の第3の態様によると、第1または2の態様の半導体モジュールにおいて、導体板は、絶縁性シート部材と接する面の端部に傾斜面または段差面が形成されており、樹脂組成部材が傾斜面または段差面と絶縁性シート部材との隙間に充填されている。
本発明の第4の態様によると、第1乃至3のいずれか一の態様の半導体モジュールにおいて、絶縁性シート部材の熱伝導率が樹脂組成部材の熱伝導率よりも高いのが好ましい。
本発明の第5の態様によると、第1乃至4のいずれか一の態様の半導体モジュールにおいて、半導体素子ブロック、絶縁性シート部材およびケース内周面と樹脂組成部材との間に、ポリアミド樹脂層を形成するのが好ましい。
本発明の第6の態様によると、第1乃至5のいずれか一の態様の半導体モジュールにおいて、収納空間における複数の半導体素子ブロックの位置を位置決めする、位置決め部を備えるのが好ましい。
本発明の第7の態様によると、第1の態様の半導体モジュールを製造するための製造方法であって、半導体素子ブロックに設けられた導体板に絶縁性シート部材を固着し、絶縁性シート部材が固着された複数の半導体素子ブロックを、絶縁性シート部材が対応する分離放熱部と対向するように収納空間に並列に配置し、分離放熱部のそれぞれをケース内側方向に押圧して支持壁を変形して、該分離放熱部を絶縁性シート部材に密着接合し、収納空間に樹脂組成部材を充填して複数の半導体素子ブロックを封止するものである。
本発明の第8の態様によると、第7の態様の半導体モジュールの製造方法において、支持壁を変形して、該分離放熱部を絶縁性シート部材に密着接合した後に、収納空間に収納された複数の半導体素子ブロックおよびケースの内周面にポリアミド樹脂を付着させて、ポリアミド樹脂層を形成し、その後、収納空間に樹脂組成部材を充填して複数の半導体素子ブロックを封止するものである。
図13は、図4に示したパワーモジュール300aの外観を示す斜視図である。図14は、図13のA-A断面図である。図15は、図13のB-B断面図である。以下では、パワーモジュール300aを例に説明するが、他のパワーモジュール300b~300c,301a~301cについてもパワーモジュール300aと同様の構造を有している。パワーモジュール300aは、図16に示した一組の上下アーム直列回路150を含む半導体素子ユニットを、放熱器としての機能を有するモジュールケース304に収納したものである。
図23は、上述した実施形態のリードフレームと絶縁シートと封止樹脂の構造に関する変形例を示したものである。図23は上述した図14と同様の断面図であるが、図23では、中間電極329の部分を通る部分の断面を示したものである。図23に示すように、中間電極329は、上アーム301aを構成するリードフレーム316と下アーム301bを構成するリードフレーム318の連結部に相当する。この領域には発熱源であるチップ(半導体素子)が搭載されていないため、高放熱な絶縁シート333で接着する必要はなく、封止樹脂334で絶縁を確保すればよい。
リードフレーム315,316,318,319の端部では、電界集中が生じやすく、その他の領域に比較して高い絶縁特性が必要である。変形例2では、そのような電界集中を抑制する構造について説明する。図24に示す例では、リードフレーム315,316,318,319の端部に加工(例えば、プレスやテーパーや曲げや切削加工など)を施すことにより、リードフレーム端部とケース304の内周面との距離を増加させ、沿面距離の増加による絶縁信頼性の向上を図るようにした。
本実施の形態では、ケース304は水密構造となっているため、液状の表面処理を行うことが容易である。例えば、ヤング率の低いポリアミド樹脂を塗布することで、リードフレーム内面や側面、チップや金属接合部160との密着強度を向上できる。この際、ポリアミド樹脂がリードフレームの絶縁樹脂の接着面に付着すると、熱抵抗が大幅に増加するという問題があるが、本実施の形態では、絶縁シート333を接着した後にポリアミド樹脂335を注入しケース304を振動させることで、上記問題は解決し容易に処理することが可能となった。
