Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to power modules for controlling power delivery to a load.
  • SiC silicon carbide
  • a conventional power device may require a bipolar structure, such as that of an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), when blocking high voltages (e.g., voltages greater than 5 kV). While utilizing a bipolar structure generally decreases the resistance of the drift layer due to conductivity modulation thereof, bipolar structures also suffer from relatively slow switching times. As will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art, the reverse recovery time (attributed to the relatively slow diffusion of minority carriers) of a bipolar structure limits the maximum switching time thereof, thereby making silicon devices generally unsuitable for high voltage and high frequency applications.
  • IGBT insulated gate bipolar transistor
  • unipolar SiC power devices may be used to block voltages up to 10 kV or more.
  • the majority carrier nature of such unipolar SiC power devices effectively eliminates the reverse recovery time of the device, thereby allowing for very high switching speeds (e.g., less than 100 ns for a double- diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (DMOSFET) with a 10 kV blocking capability and a specific on-resistance of about 100 mQ * cm 2 ).
  • DMOSFET double- diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor
  • Power devices are often interconnected and integrated into a power module, which operates to dynamically switch large amounts of power through various components such as motors, inverters, generators, and the like.
  • a power module which operates to dynamically switch large amounts of power through various components such as motors, inverters, generators, and the like.
  • a power module includes a housing with an interior chamber and multiple switch modules mounted within the interior chamber of the housing.
  • the switch modules are interconnected and configured to facilitate switching power to a load.
  • Each one of the switch modules includes at least one transistor and at least one diode.
  • the switch modules are able to block 1200 volts, conduct 300 amperes, and have switching losses of less than 20 milli-Joules.
  • a power module includes a housing with an interior chamber, at least one power substrate within the interior chamber, and a gate connector.
  • the power substrate includes a switch module on a first surface of the power substrate for facilitating switching power to a load.
  • the switch module includes at least one transistor and at least one diode.
  • the gate connector is coupled to a gate contact of the at least one transistor via a signal path that includes a first conductive trace on the first surface of the power substrate. Using a conductive trace on the first surface of the power substrate to connect the gate connector to the gate of the at least one transistor reduces interference in the power module and increases the reliability of the connection between the gate connector and the gate contact of the at least one transistor.
  • a power module includes a housing with an interior chamber, a pair of output contacts, and a plurality of switch modules.
  • the plurality of switch modules are mounted within the interior chamber of the housing, and are interconnected to facilitate switching power from a power source coupled between the output contacts to a load.
  • the pair of output contacts are arranged such that an area of at least 150 mm 2 of each one of the output contacts is located less than 1 .5 mm from the other output contact. Providing an area of each output contact of at least 150 mm 2 that is less than 1 .5 mm from the other output contact reduces the leakage inductance between the output contacts, thereby increasing the performance of the power module.
