 本願は、配線部材及びこれを備えた半導体モジュールに関するものである。
 従来、半導体モジュールにおいては、半導体素子相互間、または半導体素子とプレート等を、ワイヤ及びクリップ等の配線部材で接続している。また、特許文献1には、3箇所を電気的に接続する配線部材として、第1導電部、第2導電部、及び第3導電部のそれぞれに接続される第1脚部、第2脚部、及び第3脚部と、第1脚部と第2脚部を連結する第1連結部、及び第2脚部と第3脚部とを連結する第2連結部が一体に形成された立体的な配線部材が開示されている。
 この先行例では、第1脚部、第2脚部、及び第3脚部を非直線上に配置することにより、3箇所の接続部が三角形を形成するようにし、1つの配線部材で3つの導電部を確実に接続するようにしている。また、3点で接続することにより、配線部材が倒れる不良が発生するのを抑制している。
特許第5569555号公報
 半導体モジュールに内蔵された回路では、類似あるいは同一形状の複数の配線部材が用いられることがある。そのため、配線部材を装着する工程では、配線部材の種類、向き、さらには裏表の区別をする必要があり、作業効率の低下を招く原因となっていた。また、配線部材をカメラにより検出可能な自動化ラインにおいても、類似した配線部材の区別が困難な場合があり、配線部材の種類、または向き、または表裏を誤って組み付けてしまうという問題があった。特許文献1に開示された配線部材には、類似した複数の配線部材を見分けるための工夫はなされていない。
 本願は、上記のような課題を解決するための技術を開示するものであり、配線部材の種類、向き、及び表裏を容易に判別することを可能とし、半導体モジュールにおける配線部材の誤組み付けを防止することを目的とする。
 本願に開示される配線部材は、少なくとも第1導電部と第2導電部とを電気的に接続する配線部材であって、第1導電部に接続される第1接続部と、第2導電部に接続される第2接続部と、第1接続部と第2接続部の間に配置された上面部と、上面部と第1接続部の間、及び上面部と第2接続部の間にそれぞれ配置された脚部とを含み、第1接続部、第2接続部、上面部、及び脚部は一体に形成され、上面部は、突起部及び凹部のいずれか一方または両方を有するものである。
 また、本願の開示される半導体モジュールは、本願に開示される配線部材と、複数の半導体素子と、半導体素子が装着される金属製のプレートとを備え、第1導電部は半導体素子であり、第2導電部はプレートである。
 本願に開示される配線部材によれば、上面部に突起部及び凹部のいずれか一方または両方を設けることにより、配線部材の種類、向き、及び表裏を容易に判別することができるため、半導体モジュールにおける配線部材の誤組み付けを防止することが可能である。また、上面部は、他の部位と接続されない部位であるため、突起部及び凹部の大きさ及び配置に関し、設計の自由度が高い。

 図1中、左側のブリッジ回路は、スイッチング素子10aとスイッチング素子11aの中間点から延びたラインにリレー機能のスイッチング素子12aが配置され、モータ出力用の端子107aに接続されている。また、端子108aは3個のスイッチング素子10a、11a、12aの接続点である。端子108aの電圧をモニタすることにより、スイッチング素子10a、11a、12aの故障を検出することができる。一方、右側のブリッジ回路は、リレー機能のスイッチング素子を有しておらず、スイッチング素子10bとスイッチング素子11bの中間点から延びたラインは、モータ出力用の端子107bに接続されている。
 高電位側のスイッチング素子10a、10bのゲートは、ゲート信号用の端子101a、101bに接続されている。同様に、低電位側のスイッチング素子11a、11bのゲートは端子102a、102bに接続され、リレー機能のスイッチング素子12aのゲートは端子106aに接続されている。また、端子103a、104aは、シャント抵抗13aの両端の電位差を検出するための端子である。同様に、端子103b、104bは、シャント抵抗13bの両端の電位差を検出するための端子である。
 以上の回路を構成する半導体モジュール1の内部構造について、図2を用いて説明する。なお、図2において、一点鎖線はモールド樹脂7で覆われる領域を示している。半導体モジュール1は、図中、上下方向に複数の端子が延出されており、上側には制御信号の入出力用の制御端子、下側には大電流が通電されるパワー端子が配列されている。これらの端子は、スイッチング素子を搭載するプレート30により形成されている。プレート30は、電気抵抗が極力小さい金属、例えば銅または銅合金からなる導電板である。
 図2中、左側のブリッジ回路について説明する。電源端子である端子100aが延びたプレート30上に、高電位側のスイッチング素子10aが搭載されている。スイッチング素子10a、11a、12aは、上面にソースとゲートが配置され、底面がドレインである。配線部材4Aは、スイッチング素子10aのソース、リレー機能のスイッチング素子12aのソース、及びプレート30の3箇所を接続している。
 また、配線部材4Aが接続されたプレート30には、低電位側のスイッチング素子11aが搭載されている。配線部材5Aは、スイッチング素子11aのソースとプレート30とを接続している。これにより、スイッチング素子11aとシャント抵抗13aの一端部が接続されている。また、シャント抵抗13aの他端部は、グランド端子である端子105aが延びたプレート30と接続されている。
 スイッチング素子12aのドレインは、モータ出力用の端子107aが延びたプレート30に接続されている。スイッチング素子10a、11a、12aのゲートは、ワイヤボンド6を介してゲート制御用の端子101a、102a、及び106aにそれぞれ接続されている。シャント抵抗13aの両端は、端子103a、104aに接続されている。端子108aは、3個のスイッチング素子10a、11a、12aの接続点である。
 図2中、右側のブリッジ回路は、左側のブリッジ回路と回路構成が類似しているので、同じ部分については説明を省略する。右側のブリッジ回路は、リレー機能のスイッチング素子12aに該当するスイッチング素子を備えていない。このため、右側の配線部材4Bの形状は、左側の配線部材4Aとは異なっている。一方、右側の配線部材5Bは、左側の配線部材5Aと同一形状である。端子108bは、2個のスイッチング素子10b、11bの接続点である。
 実施の形態1による配線部材4A、4B、5A、5Bは、少なくとも第1導電部と第2導電部とを電気的に接続するものであり、例えば銅製の板により形成されている。第1導電部は例えばスイッチング素子であり、第2導電部は例えばプレートであるが、第1導電部と第2導電部の組み合わせはこれに限定されるものではなく、スイッチング素子相互間、またはプレート相互間を接続する場合もある。さらに、第1導電部、第2導電部、及び第3導電部を含む3箇所以上が接続される場合、それぞれにスイッチング素子またはプレートのいずれであっても良く、組み合わせは自在である。
 配線部材4A、4B、5A、5Bはいずれも、第1導電部に接続される第1接続部と、第2導電部に接続される第2接続部と、第1接続部と第2接続部の間に配置された上面部と、上面部と第1接続部の間、及び上面部と第2接続部の間にそれぞれ配置された脚部とを含み、第1接続部、第2接続部、上面部、及び脚部は一体に形成されている。さらに、上面部は突起部を有し、第1接続部及び第2接続部は貫通穴を有している。
 配線部材4A、4Bについて、図3及び図4を用いて詳細に説明する。図3は、図2中A-Aで示す箇所で切断した断面図、図4は、図2中B-Bで示す箇所で切断した断面図である。配線部材4Aは、図3に示すように、2つのスイッチング素子10a、12aとプレート30の3箇所を接続している。
 配線部材4Aは、2つの上面部41と、第1導電部であるスイッチング素子10aのソースに接続された第1接続部である素子接続部42と、第2導電部であるプレート30に接続された第2接続部であるプレート接続部43と、第3導電部であるスイッチング素子12aのソースに接続された第3接続部である素子接続部42とを有している。上面部41と素子接続部42の間、及び上面部41とプレート接続部43の間にはそれぞれ脚部44が配置され、上面部41、素子接続部42、プレート接続部43、及び脚部44は一体に形成されている。
 一方、配線部材4Bは、図4に示すように、1つのスイッチング素子10bと2箇所のプレート30の3箇所を接続している。配線部材4Bは、2つの上面部41と、第1導電部であるスイッチング素子10bに接続された第1接続部である素子接続部42と、第2導電部及び第3導電部である2箇所のプレート30に接続された第2接続部及び第3接続部である2つのプレート接続部43とを有している。上面部41と素子接続部42の間、及び上面部41とプレート接続部43の間にはそれぞれ脚部44が配置され、上面部41、素子接続部42、プレート接続部43、及び脚部44は一体に形成されている。
 配線部材4A、4Bにおいて、上面部41は、素子接続部42のスイッチング素子10aとの接続面、及びプレート接続部43のプレート30との接続面に対して、反対側の方向に突出している。また、上面部41は、素子接続部42及びプレート接続部43と平行に設けられ、素子接続部42、プレート接続部43、及び上面部41は、それぞれ異なる高さ位置である。
 また、素子接続部42は、スイッチング素子10a、10b、12aとの接続面に対して垂直な方向に形成された貫通穴45を有している。同様に、プレート接続部43は、プレート30との接続面に対して垂直な方向に形成された貫通穴45を有している。貫通穴45を有することにより、配線部材4A、4Bをスイッチング素子10a、10b、12aまたはプレート30とはんだ等の接合部材で接続する際に、接合部材が貫通穴45を抜けて配線部材4A、4Bの上面まで塗布されるため、接続強度が向上する。
 このように、配線部材4A、4Bは、上面から見た形状は非常に似ているが、断面形状は微妙に異なっている。このため、配線部材4A、4Bの誤組み付けを防止するために、両者を区別して使用しなければならない。通常、組立用ロボットは、図2に示すように上面視で配線部材4A、4Bを掴み(あるいは吸着し)、所定の位置に配置する。また、人手で組み立てる場合も同様に、配線部材4A、4Bを上面視で選択する。そこで、上面視で配線部材4A、4Bを区別するために、突起部47を利用する。
 配線部材4A、4Bは、上面部41と一体に形成された突起部47を有している。上面部41は、他の部位と接続されない部位であり、且つ最も高い位置に配置されるため、突起部47の大きさ及び配置に関し設計の自由度が高いという利点がある。また、上面部41に突起部47を形成するための特別な工程は必要なく、配線部材4A、4Bの他の部位と同時に導電板を切断し、曲げ加工することによって、突起部47を有する配線部材4A、4Bを製作することができる。
 図2に示すように、配線部材4A、4Bの突起部47は、上面部41の両側面に対称に設けられているが、配線部材4Aと配線部材4Bとでは、突起部47の位置が異なっている。配線部材4Aは、中央のスイッチング素子12aの近傍の上面部41に突起部47を有している。一方、配線部材4Bは、スイッチング素子10bの近傍の上面部41に突起部47を有している。このように、突起部47の位置の違いにより、配線部材4Aと配線部材4Bを区別することができる。
 なお、配線部材4A、4Bは、配線部材5A、5Bと比較して倍以上の長さを有しており、さらにプレート接続部43、素子接続部42、及び上面部41は、それぞれ異なる高さ位置に形成されている。このため、配線部材4A、4Bは、裏表の判別が容易であり、裏返しになっていても認識可能である。
 次に、配線部材5A、5Bについて、図5を用いて詳細に説明する。図5において、右側の図は、左側の上面図を矢印Cで示す方向から見た側面図であり、一点鎖線はモールド樹脂7を示している。なお、配線部材5A、5Bは同一形状であるため、図5では配線部材5Aのみを示している。配線部材5Aは、上面部51と、第1導電部であるスイッチング素子11aのソースに接続された第1接続部である素子接続部52と、第2導電部であるプレート30に接続された第2接続部であるプレート接続部53とを有している。上面部51と素子接続部52の間、及び上面部51とプレート接続部53の間にはそれぞれ脚部54が配置され、上面部51、素子接続部52、プレート接続部53、及び脚部54は一体に形成されている。
 配線部材5Aにおいて、上面部51は、素子接続部52のスイッチング素子11aとの接続面、及びプレート接続部53のプレート30との接続面に対して、反対側の方向に突出している。また、上面部51は、素子接続部52及びプレート接続部53と平行に設けられ、素子接続部52、プレート接続部53、及び上面部51は、それぞれ異なる高さ位置である。さらに、素子接続部52は、スイッチング素子11aとの接続面に対して垂直な方向に形成された貫通穴55を有し、プレート接続部53は、プレート30との接続面に対して垂直な方向に形成された貫通穴55を有している。
 また、プレート接続部53の角部には、切り欠き56が形成されている。配線部材5Aは、幅寸法がスイッチング素子11aの幅よりも小さく例えば数ミリメートル程度の小型部品であるが、カメラまたは目視により切り欠き56が認識可能な場合、切り欠き56によって配線部材5Aの向きを判別することができる。例えば、図5では、切り欠き56のある方がプレート接続部53、切り欠きの無い方が素子接続部52であると判別することができる。
 なお、切り欠き56は、視認性の観点からは大きい方が好ましいが、切り欠き56を大きくするとプレート接続部53の面積が小さくなるため、接続強度の観点からは小さい方が望ましい。また、切り欠き56は、図5に示すような直線的な形状に限らず、曲線的な形状あってもよい。さらに、図5ではプレート接続部53の両方の角部に切り欠き56を形成しているが、片方の角部のみに形成してもよい。
 また、配線部材5Aの表裏の判別には、上面部51の両側面に非対称に設けられた突起部57を利用することができる。前述のように、配線部材5Aは小さい部品であるため、表裏が反転することがあり、切り欠き56のみでは表裏の判別が難しい。非対称に配置された2つの突起部57は、配線部材5Aが裏返しになると位置が入れ替わるため、2つの突起部57の位置によって表裏を判別することができる。
 以上のように、実施の形態1に係る配線部材4A、4B、5A、5Bによれば、上面部41、51に突起部47、57を設けることにより、配線部材の種類、向き、及び表裏を容易に判別することができるため、半導体モジュールにおける配線部材の誤組み付けを防止することが可能である。また、上面部41、51は、他の部位と接続されない部位であるため、突起部47、47の大きさ及び配置に関し設計の自由度が高いという利点がある。また、突起部47、57は、上面部41、51と一体に形成されるため、配線部材4A、4B、5A、5Bの他の部位と同時に、容易に製作することができる。
実施の形態2.
 実施の形態2では、上記実施の形態1による配線部材4A、4B、5A、5Bの変形例について説明する。実施の形態2による半導体モジュールの回路構成は、上記実施の形態1と同様であるので説明を省略する(図1参照)。実施の形態2による配線部材は、Hブリッジ回路を内蔵した半導体モジュール1(図2参照)の他、ブリッジ回路1相分を内蔵した半導体モジュール、あるいはその他の回路構成及び部品構成の半導体モジュールに用いることができる。
 図6及び図7は、実施の形態2による配線部材を示している。実施の形態2による配線部材5C、4Cはいずれも、上記実施の形態1による配線部材4A、4B、5A、5Bと同様に、上面部51、41、素子接続部52、42、プレート接続部53、43、及び脚部54、44を有している。また、素子接続部52、42及びプレート接続部53、43は、貫通穴45を有している。
 図6に示す配線部材5Cは、上面部51に凹部58を有している。配線部材5Cの表裏の判別には、上面部51の両側面に非対称に設けられた凹部58を利用することができる。すなわち、非対称に配置された2つの凹部58は、配線部材5Cが裏返しになると位置が入れ替わるため、2つの凹部58の位置によって表裏を判別することができる。また、凹部58を上面部51の両側面に対称に設けることにより、配線部材5Cの向きの判別に利用することも可能である。
 このように、凹部58は、上記実施の形態1で説明した配線部材5Aの突起部57(図5参照)と同様に用いられるが、特に、突起部57ではワイヤボンド6または他の部品に接触しやすい場合、または突起部57により配線部材の安定性が低下する場合に、凹部58を用いるとよい。なお、凹部58の形状は、図6に示す半円状に限定されるものではなく、矩形、三角形等であってもよい。凹部58を形成するために特別な工程は必要なく、配線部材5Cの他の部位と同時に導電板を切断し、曲げ加工することによって、凹部58を有する配線部材5Cを製作することができる。
 また、図7に示す配線部材4Cは、上面部41に突起部47と凹部48を有している。図7に示す例では、1つの上面部41の両側面に突起部47の対を対称に設け、別の上面部41の両側面に凹部48の対を対称に設けているが、これらは非対称であってもよい。あるいは、突起部47と凹部48を対にして、対称または非対称に設けてもよい。このように、様々なパターンで突起部47と凹部48を配置することにより、多種類の配線部材を用いる複雑な回路構成の半導体モジュールにおいても、配線部材の種類の判別が容易に行える。
 実施の形態2に係る配線部材5C、4Cによれば、上面部51、41に凹部58、48を設けることにより、配線部材の種類、向き、及び表裏を容易に判別することができるため、半導体モジュールにおける配線部材の誤組み付けを防止することが可能である。さらに、突起部47と凹部48を組み合わせて配置することにより、さらに多種類の配線部材の判別が可能となる。また、上面部51、41は、他の部位と接続されない部位であるため、凹部58、48の大きさ及び配置に関し設計の自由度が高いという利点がある。
 本開示は、様々な例示的な実施の形態及び実施例が記載されているが、1つ、または複数の実施の形態に記載された様々な特徴、態様、及び機能は特定の実施の形態の適用に限られるのではなく、単独で、または様々な組み合わせで実施の形態に適用可能である。従って、例示されていない無数の変形例が、本願明細書に開示される技術の範囲内において想定される。例えば、少なくとも1つの構成要素を変形する場合、追加する場合または省略する場合、さらには、少なくとも1つの構成要素を抽出し、他の実施の形態の構成要素と組み合わせる場合が含まれるものとする。
