Description

電子モジュール
 本発明は、電子素子を封止部内に含み、電子素子に接続された接続端子を有する電子モジュールに関する。
 複数の電子素子が封止樹脂内に設けられた電子モジュールが従来から知られている(例えば特開2014-45157号参照)。このような電子モジュールにおいて電子素子をより多くしたいニーズがある。
 より多くの電子素子を設ける手段として、電子素子を層状に積み重ねていく態様を採用することが考えられる。その際には、電子素子(第一電子素子)の一方側(例えばおもて面側)に別の電子素子(第二電子素子)を設けることが考えられる。また、このように電子素子を層状に積み重ねていく態様を採用しない場合、または電子素子を層状に積み重ねていく態様を採用しつつもより多くの電子素子を封入する場合には、基板の面内方向での大きさが大きくなってしまう。このように、基板の面内方向での大きさが大きくなると、熱処理工程で基板が反ってしまうことがある。
 この点、基板の反りを防止するために、例えば、回路パターンが形成される金属回路板の厚さを金属放熱板の厚さよりも大きくし、金属放熱板のセラミックス基板の反対側の面の表面積を、金属回路板のセラミックス基板と反対側の面の表面積よりも大きくすることで、セラミックス基板に発生する熱応力によるセラミックス基板の反りを抑制することが提案されている(特開2016-72281号)。また、桟部を跨ぐ導電部材によって絶縁回路基板間を電気的に接続し、上蓋の隔壁部が樹脂枠体の桟部を押圧し、さらに桟部が絶縁回路基板の第1外縁部を押圧することで、絶縁回路基板が反ることを抑制する態様も提案されている(WO2015/107804)。
 しかしながら、前述した先行文献のいずれも、基板の反り、特に周縁部における反りを抑制するという観点からは不十分なものであった。
 本発明は、このような点を鑑みてなされたものであり、基板における反り、特に基板の周縁部が封止部内方に向かう反りを防止できる電子モジュールを提供する。

第1の実施の形態
《構成》
 本実施の形態において、「一方側」は図2の上方側を意味し、「他方側」は図2の下方側を意味する。図2の上下方向を「第一方向」と呼び、紙面の表裏方向を「第二方向」と呼び、左右方向を「第三方向」と呼ぶ。第二方向及び第三方向を含む面内方向を「面内方向」といい、一方側から他方側に向かって見た場合には「平面視」という。
 図8に示すように、電子モジュールは、第一放熱層19と、第一放熱層19の一方側に設けられた第一基板11と、第一基板11の一方側に設けられた第一導体層12と、第一導体層12の一方側に設けられた第一電子素子13と、第一電子素子13の一方側に設けられた第二電子素子23と、第二電子素子23の一方側に設けられた第二導体層22と、第二導体層22の一方側に設けられた第二基板21と、第二基板21の一方側に設けられた第二放熱層29と、第一電子素子13及び第二電子素子23を封止する封止樹脂等から構成される封止部90と、を有してもよい。
 第一導体層12及び第二導体層22の両方又はいずれか一方は端子110,150と接続されてもよく(図1参照)、端子110,150の先端側は封止部90の外方に露出して、制御基板等の外部装置と接続可能となってもよい。
 図1に示すように、端子110,150は、第一電子素子13又は第二電子素子23に電気的に接続され、封止部90の側面から露出した接続端子110と、第一電子素子13及び第二電子素子23のいずれにも電気的に接続されておらず、封止部90の側面から露出した応力緩和端子150と、を有してもよい。
 接続端子110は、第一電子素子13又は第二電子素子23に対する制御信号を入力するための一つ又は複数の制御端子120を有してもよい。応力緩和端子150の幅(面内方向の短手方向における長さであり、図1の第二方向における長さ)は、いずれの箇所においても、制御端子120の幅の最も太い部分よりも太くなってもよい。
 接続端子110は、第一電子素子13又は第二電子素子23に電力を供給する一つ又は複数のパワー端子130を有してもよい。応力緩和端子150の幅は、いずれの箇所においても、パワー端子130の幅の最も細い部分よりも細くなってもよい。
 図5に示すように、応力緩和端子150は、第二導体層22に導電性接着剤95を介して間接的に設けられた応力緩和端子基端部151と、少なくとも一部が封止部90から露出した応力緩和端子外方部153と、応力緩和端子基端部151と応力緩和端子外方部153との間に設けられ、封止部90内において一方側又は他方側に曲げられた応力緩和端子屈曲部152とを有してもよい。なお、応力緩和端子基端部151と第二導体層22との間には導電性接着剤95が設けられておらず、応力緩和端子基端部151が第二導体層22に直接設けられるようになってもよい。
 図4に示すように、パワー端子130は、導体層12,22に導電性接着剤95を介して間接的に設けられたパワー端子基端部131と、少なくとも一部が封止部90から露出したパワー端子外方部133と、パワー端子基端部131とパワー端子外方部133との間に設けられ、パワー端子基端部131側で一方側又は他方側に曲げられたパワー端子屈曲部132とを有してもよい。図1に示す態様では、左上のパワー端子130は、図4(a)に示すように、第二導体層22に導電性接着剤95を介して間接的に設けられたパワー端子基端部131と、パワー端子基端部131側で一方側又は他方側に曲げられたパワー端子屈曲部132とを有している。それ以外の4つのパワー端子130は、図4(b)に示すように、第一導体層12に導電性接着剤95を介して間接的に設けられたパワー端子基端部131と、パワー端子基端部131側で他方側に曲げられたパワー端子屈曲部132とを有している。
 制御端子120は、導体層12,22に導電性接着剤95を介して間接的に設けられた制御端子基端部121と、少なくとも一部が封止部90から露出した制御端子外方部123と、制御端子基端部121と制御端子外方部123との間に設けられ、制御端子基端部121側で一方側又は他方側に曲げられた制御端子屈曲部122とを有してもよい。図1に示す態様では、図6に示すように、制御端子120が、第一導体層12に導電性接着剤95を介して間接的に設けられた制御端子基端部121と、制御端子基端部121側で他方側に曲げられた制御端子屈曲部122とを有している。
 制御端子120は、第一導体層12に電気的に接続された制御端子基端部121と、少なくとも一部が封止部90から露出した制御端子外方部123と、制御端子基端部121と制御端子外方部123との間に設けられ、封止部90内において一方側に曲げられた制御端子屈曲部122とを有してもよい。
 第一基板11の一方側に、樹脂封止する際に金型で押圧される、第一電子素子13及び第二電子素子23に電気的に接続されていない非接続導体層50が設けられてもよい。図2及び図3に示すように、第二基板21の面内方向における大きさは第一基板11の面内方向における大きさよりも小さくなり、図3に示すように、平面視において、第一基板11に設けられる非接続導体層50が第一基板11の外方に位置するようになってもよい。
 封止部90は図7に示すように平面視において略矩形状となってもよい。本実施の形態において「略矩形状」とは対向する2対の辺を有する四角形のことを意味し、例えば平面視における角部が直角であってもよいが丸みを帯びていてもよいし、図7に示すように角が傾斜するようになってもよいし、図7に示すように側面の所々に凹部が設けられてもよい。図3に示すように、第一基板11及び第二基板21の各々も平面視において略矩形状となってもよい。
 封止部90は、第一側面91と、第一側面91と反対側の側面である第二側面92と、これら第一側面91と第二側面92との間で延在する第三側面93及び第四側面94を有してもよい。封止部90が平面視において略長方形状となる場合には、第一側面91と第二側面92が平面視において平行となり、第三側面93と第四側面94が平面視において平行となり、平面視における第一側面91と第二側面92の長さが略同一となり、平面視における第三側面93と第四側面94の長さが略同一となってもよい。本実施の形態において「略同一」とは、両者の長さの差が長さの長い方の10%以内にあることを意味し、長さA1と長さA2(A1≧A2)とが略同一であるというのは、A1×0.9≦A2≦A1となることを意味している。本実施の形態では、封止部90が平面視において略長方形状となる態様を用いて説明するが、これに限られることはなく、封止部90は平面視において、略正方形状であってもよいし略台形状であってもよい。
 応力緩和端子150が封止部90の第一側面91及び/又は第一側面91と反対側の側面である第二側面92に沿って設けられてもよい。
 制御端子120のうちの少なくとも一つは、封止部90の第三側面93及び/又は第四側面94から外方に露出してもよい。
 応力緩和端子150はパワー端子130よりも面方向で周縁方向外方に設けられてもよい。図1に示す態様では、第一側面91側に3つのパワー端子130が設けられており、図1の第二方向に沿った最も上方に位置するパワー端子130よりも上方側(周縁方向外方)に1つの応力緩和端子150が設けられ、図1の第二方向に沿った最も下方に位置するパワー端子130よりも下方側(周縁方向外方)に1つの応力緩和端子150が設けられている。
 第一基板11は、図1に示すように、封止部90に対応して、第一側面11a、第二側面11b、第三側面11c及び第四側面11dを有してもよい。第二基板21も、図3に示すように、封止部90に対応して、第一側面21a、第二側面21b、第三側面21c及び第四側面21dを有してもよい。
 図1に示す態様では、2つの応力緩和端子150が、面内方向において第一基板11の第一側面11aを跨ぐようにして第一基板11の周縁外方まで延びるようになっている。また、図1の右上に位置する1つの制御端子120aが、面内方向において第一基板11の第三側面11cを跨ぐようにして第一基板11の周縁外方まで延び(図1参照)、封止部90の第一側面91から外方に露出している(図7参照)。図1の左上に位置する別の1つの制御端子120bが、面内方向において第一基板11の第三側面11cを跨ぐようにして第一基板11の周縁外方まで延び(図1参照)、封止部90の第二側面92から外方に露出している(図7参照)。また、図1の右下に位置する1つの制御端子120cが、面内方向において第一基板11の第四側面11dを跨ぐようにして第一基板11の周縁外方まで延び(図1参照)、封止部90の第一側面91から外方に露出している(図7参照)。図1の左下に位置する別の1つの制御端子120dが、面内方向において第一基板11の第四側面11dを跨ぐようにして第一基板11の周縁外方まで延び(図1参照)、封止部90の第二側面92から外方に露出している(図7参照)。
 図1に示す態様では、7つの制御端子120が、面内方向において第一基板11の第一側面11aを跨ぐようにして第一基板11の周縁外方まで延び(図1参照)、封止部90の第一側面91から外方に露出している(図7参照)。また別の7つの制御端子120が、面内方向において第一基板11の第二側面11bを跨ぐようにして第一基板11の周縁外方まで延び(図1参照)、封止部90の第二側面92から外方に露出している(図7参照)。3つのパワー端子130が面内方向において第一基板11の第一側面11aを跨ぐようにして第一基板11の周縁外方まで延び(図1参照)、封止部90の第一側面91から外方に露出している(図7参照)。また2つのパワー端子130が面内方向において第一基板11の第二側面11bを跨ぐようにして第一基板11の周縁外方まで延び(図1参照)、封止部90の第二側面92から外方に露出している(図7参照)。
 封止部90の第一側面91側の真ん中に位置するパワー端子130に開口部130aが設けられ、平面視において、パワー端子130の開口部130aを介して非接続導体層50が視認可能となってもよい。このような開口部130aを設けることで、樹脂封止する際に金型によって非接続導体層50を押圧することができるようになる。
 図8に示すように、本実施の形態の電子モジュールは、接続体60,70を有してもよい。接続体60,70は、第一電子素子13と第二電子素子23との間に設けられた第一接続体60と、第二電子素子23の第一接続体60と反対側に設けられた第二接続体70とを有してもよい。
 接続体60,70は、ヘッド部61,71と、ヘッド部61,71からヘッド部61,71の厚み方向で延びた柱部62,72とを有してもよい。接続体60,70が第一接続体60及び第二接続体70を有する態様では、第一接続体60が、第一ヘッド部61と、第一ヘッド部61から第一ヘッド部61の厚み方向で延びた第一柱部62とを有してもよい。また、第二接続体70が、第二ヘッド部71と、第二ヘッド部71から第二ヘッド部71の厚み方向で延びた第二柱部72とを有してもよい。
 第一基板11の一方側には複数の第一導体層12が設けられてもよい。第一電子素子13及び第二電子素子23の各々又はいずれか一方はスイッチング素子であってもよいし、制御素子であってもよい。スイッチング素子としてはMOSFETやIGBT等を用いてもよい。第一電子素子13及び第二電子素子23の各々は半導体素子から構成されてもよく、半導体材料としてはシリコン、炭化ケイ素、窒化ガリウム等であってもよい。
 第一電子素子13と第一接続体60との間にははんだ等の導電性接着剤95が設けられ、第一電子素子13と第一接続体60は導電性接着剤95を介して接続されてもよい。同様に、第一接続体60と第二電子素子23との間にははんだ等の導電性接着剤95が設けられ、第一接続体60と第二電子素子23は導電性接着剤95を介して接続されてもよい。同様に、第二電子素子23と第二接続体70との間にははんだ等の導電性接着剤95が設けられ、第二電子素子23と第二接続体70は導電性接着剤95を介して接続されてもよい。
 第一基板11及び第二基板21としては、セラミック基板、絶縁樹脂層等の絶縁性基板を採用することができる。導電性接着剤95としては、はんだの他、AgやCuを主成分とする材料を用いることもできる。第一接続体60及び第二接続体70の材料としてはCu等の金属を用いることができる。なお、基板11,21としては例えば回路パターニングを施した金属基板を用いることもでき、この場合には、基板11,21が導体層12,22を兼ねることになる。
 第一電子素子13がMOSFET等のスイッチング素子である場合には、図8及び図9に示すように、第一接続体60側の面に第一ゲート電極13g及び第一ソース電極13sが設けられてもよい。同様に、図8及び図10に示すように、第二電子素子23がMOSFET等のスイッチング素子である場合には、第二接続体70側の面に第二ゲート電極23g及び第二ソース電極23sが設けられてもよい。この場合、第二接続体70が第二電子素子23の第二ソース電極23sに導電性接着剤95を介して接続されてもよい。また、第一接続体60が第一電子素子13の第一ソース電極13sと第二電子素子23の第二接続体70と反対側の面に設けられた第二ドレイン電極23dとを導電性接着剤95を介して接続してもよい。第一電子素子13の第一接続体60と反対側の面には第一ドレイン電極13dが設けられてもよい。図9に示す第一ゲート電極13gは接続子30と導電性接着剤95を介して接続され、この接続子30は第一導体層12と導電性接着剤95を介して接続されてもよい。図10に示す第二ゲート電極23gは接続子40と導電性接着剤95を介して接続されて、この接続子40は第一導体層12と導電性接着剤95を介して接続されてもよい。
 端子110,150と導体層12,22との接合は、はんだ等の導電性接着剤95を利用する態様だけではなく、レーザ溶接を利用してもよいし、超音波接合を利用してもよい。
《作用・効果》
 次に、上述した構成からなる本実施の形態による作用・効果の一例について説明する。なお、「作用・効果」で説明するあらゆる態様を、上記構成で採用することができる。
 本実施の形態において、電子素子13,23に電気的に接続されておらず、封止部90の側面から露出した応力緩和端子150が設けられている態様を採用した場合には、基板11,21が反ること、特に基板11,21の周縁部が封止部内方に向かって反ることを防止できる。より具体的には、第一基板11側に応力緩和端子150が設けられている態様であれば第一基板11の周縁部が上方に反ることを防止でき、第二基板21側に応力緩和端子150が設けられている態様であれば第二基板21の周縁部が下方に反ることを防止できる。
 応力緩和端子150の幅が制御端子120の幅よりも太い態様を採用した場合には、応力緩和端子による基板11,21のひずみを効果的に抑制することができる。応力緩和端子基端部151の幅が制御端子基端部121の幅の2倍~5倍となる場合、より限定するならば2.5倍~4倍となる場合には、面内におけるスペースを節約しつつ、基板11,21のひずみを効果的に抑制できる点で有益である。
 応力緩和端子150の幅がパワー端子130の幅よりも細い態様を採用した場合には、電気的に機能しない応力緩和端子150に利用される面内におけるスペースを節約することができる。なお、このような態様に限られることはなく、応力緩和端子150の幅がパワー端子130の幅と同一であってもよいし、応力緩和端子150の幅がパワー端子130の幅よりも太くなってもよい。但し、これらの態様では、電気的に機能しない応力緩和端子150に利用される面内におけるスペースが必要となることから留意が必要である。一例としては、応力緩和端子基端部151の幅がパワー端子基端部131の幅の1/5倍~1/15倍となる場合、より限定するならば1/10倍~1/14倍となる場合には、面内におけるスペースを節約しつつ、基板11,21のひずみを効果的に抑制できる点で有益である。
 図5に示すように、応力緩和端子150が、第二導体層22に直接又は間接的に設けられた応力緩和端子基端部151と、少なくとも一部が封止部90から露出した応力緩和端子外方部153と、応力緩和端子基端部151と応力緩和端子外方部153との間に設けられ、応力緩和端子基端部151側で一方側に曲げられた応力緩和端子屈曲部152とを有する態様を採用した場合には、応力緩和端子150による放熱によって第二基板21のひずみを防止できるだけではなく、応力緩和端子150からの物理的な力によっても第二基板21のひずみを防止できる点で有益である。
 図1に示すように、第一基板11の一方側に第一電子素子13及び第二電子素子23に電気的に接続されていない非接続導体層50が設けられる場合には、非接続導体層50が金型で押圧されることから、第一基板11における反りを防止できる。特に、前述したような第二基板21側に設けられた応力緩和端子150を採用しつつ、第一基板11側に設けられた非接続導体層50を採用した場合には、第一基板11及び第二基板21の両方におけるひずみを防止できる点で有益である。
 図4に示すように、パワー端子130が、第二導体層22に電気的に接続されたパワー端子基端部131と、少なくとも一部が封止部90から露出したパワー端子外方部133と、パワー端子基端部131とパワー端子外方部133との間に設けられ、パワー端子基端部131側で一方側に曲げられたパワー端子屈曲部132とを有する態様を採用した場合には、パワー端子130からの物理的な力によっても第二基板21のひずみを防止できる点で有益である。
 図1に示すように、応力緩和端子150がパワー端子130よりも面方向で周縁方向外方に設けられる態様を採用した場合には、周縁方向外方における放熱効率を高めることができ、ひずみの生じやすい周縁方向外方においての基板11,21の反りを防止できる。また、駆動時にはパワー端子130による発熱が生じるが、このように応力緩和端子150をパワー端子130よりも面方向で周縁方向外方に設けることで、パワー端子130からの熱を周縁外方に逃がすことも期待できる。
 制御端子120のうちの少なくとも一つが、面内方向において第一基板11の第三側面11c又は第四側面11dを跨ぐようにして第一基板11の周縁外方まで延びる態様を採用した場合には、このような制御端子120によって放熱効率を高めることができ、ひずみの生じやすい周縁方向外方においての基板11,21の反りを防止できる。図1に示す態様では4つの制御端子120a-120dの各々が第一基板11の四隅に対応して設けられていることから、より均一に効率よく放熱効率を高めることができる。
 応力緩和端子150の数はパワー端子130の数の多い側面で多く設けられるようにし、放熱のバランスを取るようにしてもよい。図1に示す態様では、封止部90の第一側面91側(第一基板11の第一側面11a側)に3つのパワー端子130が設けられ、第二側面92側(第一基板11の第二側面11b側)に2つのパワー端子130が設けられているが、3つのパワー端子130が設けられている側面(図1では第一側面91)側において、基板11,21のひずみが生じやすくなる可能性がある。このため、ひずみの生じやすい可能性のある第一側面91側(第二基板21の第一側面21a側)に2つの応力緩和端子150を設けることで基板11,21にひずみが発生することを防止し、他方、2つのパワー端子130が設けられている第二側面91側(第二基板21の第二側面21b側)では1つの応力緩和端子150が設けられるようにしてもよい。なお、応力緩和端子150の数がパワー端子130の数の多い側面で多く設けられるようにする態様では、パワー端子130の数の少ない側面において応力緩和端子150が設けられないようにしてもよく、図1の第二側面91側(第二基板21の第二側面21b側)に応力緩和端子150が設けられないようにしてもよい。
第2の実施の形態
 次に、本発明の第2の実施の形態について説明する。
 第1の実施の形態では、第一電子素子13の一方側に第二電子素子23が設けられるスタック構造となり、接続体60,70が設けられる態様となっていたが、本実施の形態では、接続体60,70が設けられていない。本実施の形態では、第1の実施の形態で説明したあらゆる態様を採用することができる。第1の実施の形態で説明した部材については同じ符号を用いて説明する。
 本実施の形態でも、第1の実施の形態と同様、応力緩和端子150を設ける効果を得ることができる。一例として、第二導体層22に導電性接着剤95を介して設けられた応力緩和端子基端部151と、少なくとも一部が封止部90から露出した応力緩和端子外方部153と、応力緩和端子基端部151と応力緩和端子外方部153との間に設けられ、応力緩和端子基端部151側で一方側に曲げられた応力緩和端子屈曲部152とを有する態様を採用した場合には、応力緩和端子150による放熱によって第二基板21のひずみを防止できるだけではなく、応力緩和端子150からの物理的な力によっても第二基板21のひずみを防止できる。
第3の実施の形態
 次に、本発明の第3の実施の形態について説明する。
 第1の実施の形態では、第一電子素子13の一方側に第二電子素子23が設けられるスタック構造となり、接続体60,70が設けられる態様となっていたが、本実施の形態では、本実施の形態ではスタック構造とはなっておらず、第一電子素子13は設けられるが第二電子素子23が設けられていない態様となっている。また、第二基板13も設けられていない態様となっている。本実施の形態では、応力緩和端子150が第一導体層13に接続される態様となっている。本実施の形態では、上記各実施の形態で説明したあらゆる態様を採用することができる。上記各実施の形態で説明した部材については同じ符号を用いて説明する。
 本実施の形態でも、第1の実施の形態と同様、応力緩和端子150を設ける効果を得ることができ、応力緩和端子150による放熱によって第一基板11のひずみを防止できる。なお、本実施の形態では、応力緩和端子基端部151は第一導体層12に導電性接着剤95(図12では図示せず。)を介して設けられている。
 上述した各実施の形態の記載及び図面の開示は、請求の範囲に記載された発明を説明するための一例に過ぎず、上述した実施の形態の記載又は図面の開示によって請求の範囲に記載された発明が限定されることはない。また、出願当初の請求項の記載はあくまでも一例であり、明細書、図面等の記載に基づき、請求項の記載を適宜変更することもできる。
