  • the method according to the invention provides a measure for reducing contamination due to metal particles produced at a welding step.
  • semiconductor modules comprise a baseplate, on which baseplate electrical conductors such as metallizations are provided which serve as a location for power semiconductor devices, or chips, respectively. Said chips are connected to terminals, such as control terminals. Further, additional circuit boards may be provided which are positioned in a distance from the power semiconductor devices and arranged above said power semiconductor devices.
  • the above defined arrangement is generally located in a housing which is filled with an insulating gel, such as silicon gel.
  • Ultrasonic welding (US welding) is known in the power semiconductor industry for the welding of terminals to metalized ceramic substrate.
  • the ultrasonic welding is advantageous in terms of reliability and production throughput when compared to traditional joining techniques such as soldering.
  • JP2010040615 A describes a semiconductor device which includes a wiring pattern formed on an insulating substrate, a semiconductor element mounted on the wiring pattern and a lead frame mounted on the wiring pattern by ultrasonic bonding. A resin is applied around the ultrasonic bonded lead frame. According to this document, scattering of scrap metal generated in connection of the substrate wiring with the external connection lead by ultrasonic bonding should be prevented.
  • the present invention provides a method of connecting two
  • components by welding in particular by ultrasonic welding, in particular for producing a power semiconductor module, said method comprising the steps of: a) Aligning the components to be welded to form a welding interface;
  • Such a method of connecting two components by welding provides an improved confinement behavior with regard to scattered particles and is further especially cost-saving to perform.
  • the method according to the present invention is thereby generally applicable for welding processes.
  • the use of a trapping material like described above may particularly be advantageous for ultrasonic welding due to the fact that in most cases it may not be completely avoided that particles of the components to be connected, or joined, respectively, are scattered and thus spread to the vicinity of the welding region.
  • the welding method according to the invention may thus be applicable for connecting metallic components, such as copper components, non-metallic components or metallic components to non-metallic components.
  • non-metallic compounds comprise inter alia polymers such as electrically conducting polymers.
  • the present invention is well suitable for plastic to metal, such as copper, welding as this may allow a welding process in which components may be welded which may not be welded in an advantageous manner according to the methods of the prior art. The latter essentially becomes possible due to the confinement effect of the present invention.
  • the method according to the present invention may be suitable in the field of power semiconductor modules.
  • metallic components have to be connected to each other or to plastic materials.
  • Ultrasonic welding may thereby be used for connecting a terminal to a metallization located on a baseplate, for example.
  • a negative influence of scattered particles may have a significant influence, which is avoided according to the present invention like will be described in detail down below.
  • the method according to the invention comprises step a) according to which the components to be welded are aligned to form a welding interface.
  • the two components to be connected, or joined, respectively, by welding are aligned such, that they are in close vicinity to each other and preferably are touching each other at the position at which they should be welded together.
  • the touching position thereby forms an interface at which the welding procedure should take place and thus a welding interface.
  • a terminal may be transported to its position on a metallization, which position may be located on a substrate. The terminal may thus contact the metallization and may thus form a welding interface at the touching position.
  • the components to be welded may thereby be pressed together via an application of pressure in order to achieve a superb welded connection.
  • the method comprises the step of aligning a welding tool to the aligned components.
  • the tool which is used for performing the welding step is aligned such, that a welding process may start.
  • the welding tool may thus be a sonotrode which may be generally known in the art.
  • the sonotrode may create ultrasonic vibrations and may in turn apply this vibrational energy to the components to be connected, or welded, respectively.
  • the welding tool such as the sonotrode may thus contact one of the components to be connected and my thus apply the energy to the components and thus to the welding interface.
  • the components to be connected may be aligned between an anvil and the welding tool, such as the sonotrode, for example.
  • the method comprises the step of removably
  • the method is thus based on providing a particle confinement using a trapping material, or trapping compound, respectively, around the welding zone in which all or at least a major plurality of ejected particles are trapped.
  • the trapping compound may be be applied after the alignment of the components according to step a), for example, such as a terminal block on substrate baseplate assembly, and especially before the welding process starts.
  • the usage of a trapping material thereby has significant advantages with regard to cleaning the vicinity of the welding interface in order to remove the scattered particles like will be described down below.
  • the method according to the invention is superior compared to cleaning processes such as air suction methods or blow methods and thus non-contact cleaning methods due to the fact that it is very difficult and complex to ensure that all scattered particles are removed either by pre- or post- or in-situ cleaning processes. This may be due to the fact that hot particles with high velocity may scatter in a non-defined region and embed themselves into organic materials such as polyimide. In addition, small particles adhere readily to surfaces due to strong electrostatic forces. Therefore non-contact methods such as using air suction or air blow do not completely ensure particle free modules. Further increasing the air flow can also alter the operational frequency range of the sonotrode.
  • the trapping material is thereby arranged such that it at least partly
  • a trapping material at least partly encompassing the welding interface thereby shall particularly mean that the trapping material surrounds the compounds to be welded or advantageously is positioned in direct contact to the welding interface, or its edge, respectively, and may potentially completely surround the welding interface, or its borders being formed from the components to be joined, respectively.
  • a trapping material is removably arranged further allows the advantage that even though an effective trapping procedure of scattered particles may be achieved like stated above, the material does not deteriorate the working conditions of the generated module such as the generated power semiconductor module.
  • the trapping material together with the trapped particles may not remain in the generated structure but in contrast thereto it may be subjected to an appropriate and easy cleaning procedure in order to optionally remove the trapping material after the welding process and thus to leave a well-defined surface.
  • an optional post cleaning procedure may, if at all, focus on removing the trapping material which is much less demanding compared to post-cleaning procedure referring to removing particles sticking to surfaces of the generated structure.
  • the method comprises the step of connecting the components by activating the welding tool.
  • the welding tool such as the sonotrode, may thereby guide ultrasonic vibrations into one component and thereby further to the welding interface leading to the welding interface, or the respective regions of the components, to diffuse and thus to form a stable connection afterwards.
  • the frequency which is used for ultrasonic welding may thereby be chosen in dependence of the components to be welded.
  • ultrasonic welding uses frequencies in the range of 16kHz to 1 MHz, for example.
  • the method like described above may provide an effective and economical particle confinement method allowing preventing a particle contamination which provides diverse advantages.
  • an improved performance of the generated device may be achieved.
  • a metal particle in an unfavorable position could lead to an electrical short or an insulation breakdown, or unsatisfactory partial discharge (PD) behavior may occur.
  • PD partial discharge
  • This may be disadvantages, for example, when thinking about particle- sensitive products where a high voltage is applied under operation, such as power electronic modules such IGBT modules with a blocking voltage up to 6.5 kV.
  • particles obtained by ultrasonic welding may as well lead to a negative health impact to persons which are present in the circumference of a welding tool, such as operating personnel, so that by using the present invention, a health risk for operating personal, for example, may significantly be improved.
  • scattered particles may securely be trapped in the trapping material so that a negative influence to a potentially desired clean room environment may securely be avoided.
  • the method like described above provides an easy and cost- saving measure in order to prevent particle contamination when performing a welding process such as particularly an ultrasonic welding process sue to scattered particles.
