 特許文献1には、基板と、基板の上面に配置された金属箔と、金属箔に導通する状態で接合された複数のIGBTチップと、基板の下面に配置された放熱板とを備える半導体装置の一例が開示されている。当該半導体装置は、直流電力を交流電力に変換する電力変換を目的として利用される。放熱板と基板の下面との間には、基板と放熱板との間に形成される空隙を抑制するためのコンパウンド(シリコーングリス)が介在している。 Patent Document 1 discloses a semiconductor device including a substrate, a metal foil disposed on the upper surface of the substrate, a plurality of IGBT chips joined in a conductive state to the metal foil, and a heat sink disposed on the lower surface of the substrate. An example is disclosed. The semiconductor device is used for the purpose of power conversion for converting DC power into AC power. A compound (silicone grease) is interposed between the heat radiating plate and the lower surface of the substrate to suppress a gap formed between the substrate and the heat radiating plate.
 当該半導体装置の作動の際、複数のIGBTチップから熱が発生する。複数のIGBTチップから発生した熱は、金属箔、基板およびシリコーングリスを介して放熱板に伝導する。放熱板に伝導した熱は、大気中に放熱される。シリコーングリスは、比較的熱伝導率が高い材料ではあるものの、その熱伝導率は、10W/(m・K)未満である。近年、電力変換を目的とする半導体装置は、電気自動車などに利用されている。こうした半導体装置には、さらなる高出力化が要請されている。その要請を満たすためには、半導体装置の放熱性をより向上させることが課題となっている。 During the operation of the semiconductor device, heat is generated from the plurality of IGBT chips. Heat generated from the plurality of IGBT chips is conducted to the heat radiating plate through the metal foil, the substrate, and the silicone grease. The heat conducted to the heat sink is dissipated into the atmosphere. Silicone grease is a material having a relatively high thermal conductivity, but its thermal conductivity is less than 10 W / (m · K). In recent years, semiconductor devices intended for power conversion have been used in electric vehicles and the like. Such semiconductor devices are required to have higher output. In order to satisfy this requirement, it is an issue to further improve the heat dissipation of the semiconductor device.

 以下、半導体モジュールA10について説明する。
<Semiconductor module A10>
Hereinafter, the semiconductor module A10 will be described.
 ヒートシンク70は、半導体装置B10の作動の際、複数の半導体素子40から発生した熱を大気中に放熱させる。図1に示すように、半導体モジュールA10が示す例においては、ヒートシンク70は直方体状であるが、ヒートシンク70の形状はこれに限定されない。ヒートシンク70は、熱伝導率が比較的大である金属からなる。当該金属として、銅、鉄(Fe)およびアルミニウムが挙げられる。 The heat sink 70 dissipates heat generated from the plurality of semiconductor elements 40 into the atmosphere during the operation of the semiconductor device B10. As shown in FIG. 1, in the example shown by the semiconductor module A10, the heat sink 70 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, but the shape of the heat sink 70 is not limited to this. The heat sink 70 is made of a metal having a relatively high thermal conductivity. Examples of the metal include copper, iron (Fe), and aluminum.
 図14および図15に示すように、ヒートシンク70は、上面71および一対の締結部材72を有する。上面71は、厚さ方向zの半導体装置B10が位置する側を向く。一対の締結部材72の各々は、ボルト721およびナット722により構成される。一対のボルト721は、上面71から厚さ方向zに向けて延びている。一対のボルト721の配置間隔(第2方向yにおける間隔)および直径は、半導体装置B10の封止樹脂60に設けられた一対の貫通孔64に対応している。これにより、一対のボルト721の各々は、一対の貫通孔64のいずれかに挿入される構成となる。一対のボルト721の各々の先端には、ねじ切りがなされている。これにより、ナット722がボルト721に噛み合わされる。ナット722は、半導体装置B10の封止樹脂60の頂面61に接している。 14 and 15, the heat sink 70 has an upper surface 71 and a pair of fastening members 72. The upper surface 71 faces the side where the semiconductor device B10 in the thickness direction z is located. Each of the pair of fastening members 72 includes a bolt 721 and a nut 722. The pair of bolts 721 extend from the upper surface 71 in the thickness direction z. The arrangement interval (interval in the second direction y) and the diameter of the pair of bolts 721 correspond to the pair of through holes 64 provided in the sealing resin 60 of the semiconductor device B10. Thereby, each of the pair of bolts 721 is configured to be inserted into one of the pair of through holes 64. The tip of each of the pair of bolts 721 is threaded. As a result, the nut 722 is engaged with the bolt 721. The nut 722 is in contact with the top surface 61 of the sealing resin 60 of the semiconductor device B10.
 接合シート80は、図15に示すように、ヒートシンク70の上面71と、半導体装置B10の基材10の第1裏面12Aとの間に介在している。接合シート80は、電気絶縁性および可とう性を有する弾性シートである。接合シート80の熱伝導率は、10W/(m・K)以上25W/(m・K)以下である。このため、接合シート80の熱伝導率は、半導体装置B10の封止樹脂60の熱伝導率(エポキシ樹脂を含む材料からなる封止樹脂60の熱伝導率は0.2~0.5W/(m・K))よりも大である。接合シート80の厚さは、0.2mm以上0.6mm以下である。接合シート80には、窒化ホウ素(BN)を含むフィラーが含有されている。 As shown in FIG. 15, the bonding sheet 80 is interposed between the upper surface 71 of the heat sink 70 and the first back surface 12A of the base material 10 of the semiconductor device B10. The joining sheet 80 is an elastic sheet having electrical insulation and flexibility. The thermal conductivity of the bonding sheet 80 is 10 W / (m · K) or more and 25 W / (m · K) or less. Therefore, the thermal conductivity of the bonding sheet 80 is the thermal conductivity of the sealing resin 60 of the semiconductor device B10 (the thermal conductivity of the sealing resin 60 made of a material containing an epoxy resin is 0.2 to 0.5 W / ( m · K)). The thickness of the joining sheet 80 is 0.2 mm or more and 0.6 mm or less. The bonding sheet 80 contains a filler containing boron nitride (BN).
 図15に示すように、半導体装置B10においては、基材10の第1裏面12A、および封止樹脂60の底面62の双方が接合シート80に圧着されている。ヒートシンク70に設けられた一対の締結部材72において、ナット722をボルト721により強固に締め付けると、ヒートシンク70の上面71と、第1裏面12Aおよび底面62とにより接合シート80が押し当てられるため、当該圧着をなすことができる。図16に示すように、第1裏面12Aに形成された表面処理領域19は、接合シート80に一様に接している。このため、表面処理領域19は、接合シート80に噛み合った状態となっている。 As shown in FIG. 15, in the semiconductor device B <b> 10, both the first back surface 12 </ b> A of the base material 10 and the bottom surface 62 of the sealing resin 60 are pressure-bonded to the bonding sheet 80. In the pair of fastening members 72 provided on the heat sink 70, when the nut 722 is firmly tightened with the bolt 721, the joining sheet 80 is pressed by the upper surface 71 of the heat sink 70, the first back surface 12A, and the bottom surface 62. Crimping can be performed. As shown in FIG. 16, the surface treatment region 19 formed on the first back surface 12 </ b> A is in uniform contact with the bonding sheet 80. For this reason, the surface treatment region 19 is in a state of being engaged with the bonding sheet 80.
 次に、半導体モジュールA10の作用効果について説明する。 Next, functions and effects of the semiconductor module A10 will be described.
 半導体モジュールA10では、封止樹脂60、および封止樹脂60から露出する第1裏面12Aを有する基材10を備える半導体装置B10と、ヒートシンク70と、接合シート80とを備える。接合シート80は、ヒートシンク70と第1裏面12Aとの間に介在している。これにより、半導体装置B10の使用の際、複数の半導体素子40から発せられた熱は、導電部材20を介して第1裏面12Aに到達する。第1裏面12Aに到達した熱は、接合シート80によりヒートシンク70に伝熱される。接合シート80の熱伝導率は、封止樹脂60の熱伝導率よりも大であるため、第1裏面12Aに到達した熱を効率よくヒートシンク70に伝熱させることができる。また、接合シート80は、可とう性を有するため、図16に示すように、ヒートシンク70の上面71に凹凸が存在する場合であっても、接合シート80が凹凸に追随し、ヒートシンク70と接合シート80との間に空隙が形成されることを抑制できる。これにより、接合シート80からヒートシンク70に向けて熱を、より効率的に伝熱させることができる。したがって、半導体モジュールA10によれば、半導体装置B10の放熱性をより向上させることができる。 The semiconductor module A10 includes the semiconductor device B10 including the sealing resin 60 and the base material 10 having the first back surface 12A exposed from the sealing resin 60, the heat sink 70, and the bonding sheet 80. The joining sheet 80 is interposed between the heat sink 70 and the first back surface 12A. Thereby, when using the semiconductor device B <b> 10, the heat generated from the plurality of semiconductor elements 40 reaches the first back surface 12 </ b> A via the conductive member 20. The heat that has reached the first back surface 12 </ b> A is transferred to the heat sink 70 by the bonding sheet 80. Since the thermal conductivity of the bonding sheet 80 is larger than the thermal conductivity of the sealing resin 60, the heat reaching the first back surface 12 </ b> A can be efficiently transferred to the heat sink 70. In addition, since the joining sheet 80 has flexibility, as shown in FIG. 16, even if there is unevenness on the upper surface 71 of the heat sink 70, the joining sheet 80 follows the unevenness and joins the heat sink 70. It can suppress that a space | gap is formed between the sheets 80. Thereby, heat can be more efficiently transferred from the bonding sheet 80 toward the heat sink 70. Therefore, according to the semiconductor module A10, the heat dissipation of the semiconductor device B10 can be further improved.
 半導体装置B10の使用により、基材10およびヒートシンク70は、熱膨張および熱収縮を繰り返す。半導体モジュールA10において、接合シート80の代わりにコンパウンドを用いた場合、これらの熱膨張および熱収縮により徐々にコンパウンドが流出され、ヒートシンク70と半導体装置B10との間に空隙が形成される現象(ポンプアウト現象)が生じることがある。空隙が形成されると、半導体装置B10の放熱性が低下する。そこで、可とう性を有する接合シート80によれば、基材10およびヒートシンク70の熱膨張および熱収縮に対して接合シート80が追随するため、ヒートシンク70と半導体装置B10との間に空隙が形成されることを防止できる。 By using the semiconductor device B10, the base material 10 and the heat sink 70 repeat thermal expansion and thermal contraction. In the semiconductor module A10, when a compound is used instead of the bonding sheet 80, the compound gradually flows out due to the thermal expansion and contraction, and a gap is formed between the heat sink 70 and the semiconductor device B10 (pump (Out phenomenon) may occur. When the gap is formed, the heat dissipation of the semiconductor device B10 is lowered. Therefore, according to the bonding sheet 80 having flexibility, since the bonding sheet 80 follows the thermal expansion and contraction of the base material 10 and the heat sink 70, a gap is formed between the heat sink 70 and the semiconductor device B10. Can be prevented.
 基材10の第1裏面12Aは、接合シート80に圧着されている。第1裏面12Aにおいて、接合シート80に接する部分には、粗面を含む表面処理領域19が形成されている。これにより、第1裏面12Aの表面積が増加するため、接合シート80に対する基材10の接合強度が向上する。また、第1裏面12Aの放熱性が向上するため、第1裏面12Aから接合シート80に、より効率的に熱を伝熱させることができる。 The first back surface 12A of the base material 10 is pressure-bonded to the bonding sheet 80. In the first back surface 12 </ b> A, a surface treatment region 19 including a rough surface is formed in a portion in contact with the bonding sheet 80. Thereby, since the surface area of 12 A of 1st back surfaces increases, the joining strength of the base material 10 with respect to the joining sheet 80 improves. Moreover, since the heat dissipation of the first back surface 12A is improved, heat can be more efficiently transferred from the first back surface 12A to the bonding sheet 80.
 接合シート80の熱伝導率は、コンパウンドの熱伝導率よりも大である10W/(m・K)以上25W/(m・K)であることが好ましい。これにより、半導体装置B10の放熱性をより向上させることができる。また、窒化ホウ素を含むフィラーが接合シート80に含有されていることが、このような接合シート80の熱伝導率を得る上で好適である。 The thermal conductivity of the bonding sheet 80 is preferably 10 W / (m · K) or more and 25 W / (m · K), which is larger than the thermal conductivity of the compound. Thereby, the heat dissipation of semiconductor device B10 can be improved more. In addition, it is preferable that a filler containing boron nitride is contained in the bonding sheet 80 in order to obtain the thermal conductivity of the bonding sheet 80.
 図17に示すように、半導体装置B10には反りC(基材10の第1裏面12Aと、封止樹脂60の底面62と第2側面632(または第1側面631)との境界と、の間における厚さ方向zの寸法)が生じることがある。この反りCは、最大で0.1mm程度とされている。そこで、ヒートシンク70と半導体装置B10との間の空隙の形成を抑制すべく、反りCにより形成されるヒートシンク70と半導体装置B10との間の隙間を接合シート80が埋めるためには、接合シート80の厚さが0.2mm以上0.6mm以下であることが好ましい。 As shown in FIG. 17, the semiconductor device B10 includes warpage C (the first back surface 12A of the base material 10, the boundary between the bottom surface 62 of the sealing resin 60 and the second side surface 632 (or the first side surface 631)). (Dimension in the thickness direction z) may occur. The warp C is about 0.1 mm at the maximum. Therefore, in order to suppress the formation of the gap between the heat sink 70 and the semiconductor device B10, the bonding sheet 80 is used to fill the gap between the heat sink 70 and the semiconductor device B10 formed by the warp C. The thickness is preferably 0.2 mm or more and 0.6 mm or less.
 半導体モジュールA10においては、封止樹脂60の底面62が接合シート80に圧着されている。これにより、接合シート80に対する半導体装置B10の接合強度をより向上させることができる。底面62は、基材10の第1裏面12Aを囲む枠状である。このような形状をとる底面62を接合シート80に圧着させることにより、接合シート80に対する第1裏面12Aの密着性がより高まるため、半導体装置B10の放熱性をより向上させることができる。 In the semiconductor module A10, the bottom surface 62 of the sealing resin 60 is pressure-bonded to the bonding sheet 80. Thereby, the joining strength of the semiconductor device B10 to the joining sheet 80 can be further improved. The bottom surface 62 has a frame shape surrounding the first back surface 12 </ b> A of the base material 10. By pressure-bonding the bottom surface 62 having such a shape to the bonding sheet 80, the adhesion of the first back surface 12 </ b> A to the bonding sheet 80 is further increased, so that the heat dissipation of the semiconductor device B <b> 10 can be further improved.

 接合シート80は、図21に示すように、ヒートシンク70の上面71と、半導体装置B20の第2基材10Bの第1裏面12Aとの間に介在している。半導体装置B20においては、第2基材10Bの第1裏面12A、および封止樹脂60の底面62の双方が接合シート80に圧着されている。図22に示すように、第2基材10Bの第1裏面12Aにおいて形成された表面処理領域19は、接合シート80に一様に接している。このため、表面処理領域19は、接合シート80に噛み合った状態となっている。 21, the bonding sheet 80 is interposed between the upper surface 71 of the heat sink 70 and the first back surface 12A of the second base material 10B of the semiconductor device B20.

 <半導体モジュールA30>
 以下、半導体モジュールA30について説明する。
<Semiconductor module A30>
Hereinafter, the semiconductor module A30 will be described.
 図35および図36に示すように、ヒートシンク70は、上面71および複数の締結部材72を有する。上面71は、厚さ方向zの半導体装置B30が位置する側を向く。複数の締結部材72の各々は、ボルト721およびナット722により構成される。複数のボルト721は、上面71から厚さ方向zに向けて延びている。複数のボルト721の配置位置および直径は、半導体装置B30の封止樹脂60に設けられた複数の貫通孔64に対応している。これにより、複数のボルト721の各々は、複数の貫通孔64のいずれかに挿入される構成となる。複数のボルト721の各々の先端には、ねじ切りがなされている。これにより、ナット722がボルト721に噛み合わされる。 35 and 36, the heat sink 70 has an upper surface 71 and a plurality of fastening members 72. The upper surface 71 faces the side where the semiconductor device B30 in the thickness direction z is located. Each of the plurality of fastening members 72 includes a bolt 721 and a nut 722. The plurality of bolts 721 extend from the upper surface 71 in the thickness direction z. The arrangement positions and diameters of the plurality of bolts 721 correspond to the plurality of through holes 64 provided in the sealing resin 60 of the semiconductor device B30. Thereby, each of the plurality of bolts 721 is configured to be inserted into one of the plurality of through holes 64. A thread is cut at the tip of each of the plurality of bolts 721. As a result, the nut 722 is engaged with the bolt 721.
 接合シート80は、図36に示すように、ヒートシンク70の上面71と、半導体装置B30の一対の基材10の第1裏面12Aとの間に介在している。半導体装置B30においては、一対の第1裏面12A、および封止樹脂60の底面62の双方が接合シート80に圧着されている。図37に示すように、一対の第1裏面12Aにおいて形成された表面処理領域19は、接合シート80に一様に接している。このため、表面処理領域19は、接合シート80に噛み合った状態となっている。 36, the joining sheet 80 is interposed between the upper surface 71 of the heat sink 70 and the first back surface 12A of the pair of base materials 10 of the semiconductor device B30. In the semiconductor device B <b> 30, both the pair of first back surfaces 12 </ b> A and the bottom surface 62 of the sealing resin 60 are pressure bonded to the bonding sheet 80. As shown in FIG. 37, the surface treatment region 19 formed on the pair of first back surfaces 12A is in contact with the bonding sheet 80 uniformly. For this reason, the surface treatment region 19 is in a state of being engaged with the bonding sheet 80.
 次に、半導体モジュールA30の作用効果について説明する。 Next, functions and effects of the semiconductor module A30 will be described.
 半導体モジュールA30では、封止樹脂60、および封止樹脂60から露出する第1裏面12Aを有する一対の基材10を備える半導体装置B30と、ヒートシンク70と、接合シート80とを備える。接合シート80は、電気絶縁性および可とう性を有し、かつヒートシンク70と一対の第1裏面12Aとの間に介在している。接合シート80の熱伝導率は、封止樹脂60の熱伝導率よりも大である。したがって、半導体モジュールA30のよっても、半導体装置B30の放熱性をより向上させることができる。 The semiconductor module A30 includes a semiconductor device B30 including a sealing resin 60 and a pair of base materials 10 having a first back surface 12A exposed from the sealing resin 60, a heat sink 70, and a bonding sheet 80. The bonding sheet 80 has electrical insulation and flexibility, and is interposed between the heat sink 70 and the pair of first back surfaces 12A. The thermal conductivity of the bonding sheet 80 is larger than the thermal conductivity of the sealing resin 60. Therefore, even with the semiconductor module A30, the heat dissipation of the semiconductor device B30 can be further improved.
 半導体装置B30においては、第1端子31Aおよび第2端子31Bは、厚さ方向zにおいて互いに離間している。厚さ方向zに沿って視て、第2端子31Bの端子部312の少なくとも一部が、第1端子31Aの端子部312に重なっている。これにより、半導体装置B30の使用において、第1端子31Aおよび第2端子31Bのそれぞれにおいて発生する磁界が互いに干渉することにより、第1端子31Aおよび第2端子31Bのそれぞれのインダクタンスが低減する。したがって、第1端子31Aおよび第2端子31Bに印加されるサージ電圧などが低減されるため、半導体装置B30の電力損失を抑制することができる。 In the semiconductor device B30, the first terminal 31A and the second terminal 31B are separated from each other in the thickness direction z. As viewed along the thickness direction z, at least a part of the terminal portion 312 of the second terminal 31B overlaps the terminal portion 312 of the first terminal 31A. Thereby, in the use of the semiconductor device B30, the magnetic fields generated in the first terminal 31A and the second terminal 31B interfere with each other, thereby reducing the inductance of the first terminal 31A and the second terminal 31B. Therefore, since the surge voltage applied to the first terminal 31A and the second terminal 31B is reduced, the power loss of the semiconductor device B30 can be suppressed.
