Description

電子制御装置electronic control unit
 本開示は、電子制御装置に関する。 The present disclosure relates to an electronic control device.
 従来から複数の電子部品からの輻射ノイズを適切に抑制するとともに、放熱性を適切に向上させることができる電子機器が知られている(下記特許文献1、第0009段落、要約)。この従来の電子機器は、プリント基板と、高さが異なる複数の電子部品と、そのプリント基板上に実装され、高さが異なる複数の電子部品と、金属材料から構成され、複数の電子部品を覆うとともにプリント基板に対して接地されているリッドとを備えている。 Electronic devices that can appropriately suppress radiation noise from a plurality of electronic components and appropriately improve heat dissipation have been known (Patent Document 1, paragraph 0009, summary below). This conventional electronic device consists of a printed circuit board, multiple electronic components of different heights, multiple electronic components mounted on the printed circuit board and of different heights, and a metal material, and multiple electronic components. and a lid that covers the printed circuit board and is grounded to the printed circuit board.
 また、この従来の電子機器は、複数の電子部品のうち少なくとも1つ以上の放熱対象の電子部品とリッドとの間に設けられている第1放熱部材と、リッドの上方に設けられているヒートシンクと、リッドとヒートシンクとの間に設けられている第2放熱部材と、を備えている。この従来の電子機器において、リッドの上面部は、前記複数の電子部品の高さに合わせて段差を有する形状である(特許文献1、第0010段落、請求項1)。 Further, this conventional electronic device includes a first heat radiating member provided between the lid and at least one electronic component to be heat radiated out of a plurality of electronic components, and a heat sink provided above the lid. and a second heat radiating member provided between the lid and the heat sink. In this conventional electronic device, the top surface of the lid has a step shape corresponding to the height of the plurality of electronic components (Patent Document 1, paragraph 0010, claim 1).
 この従来の電子機器によれば、複数の電子部品から放射された電磁波によりリッドにノイズ電流が誘起されたとしても、その誘起されたノイズ電流が接地部分に排出されることで、輻射ノイズを抑制することができる。また、リッドの上面部が複数の電子部品の高さに合わせて段差を有する形状であるので、放熱対象の電子部品の高さが他の電子部品よりも低い場合でも、その放熱対象の電子部品とリッドとの距離を狭めるように段差を形成することで、第1放熱部材の厚さを抑えることができ、放熱性の悪化を未然に回避することができる。これにより、プリント基板上に高さが異なる複数の電子部品が実装される構成において、複数の電子部品からの輻射ノイズを適切に抑制すると共に、放熱性を適切に向上させることができる(特許文献1、第0011段落)。 According to this conventional electronic device, even if noise current is induced in the lid by electromagnetic waves radiated from multiple electronic components, the induced noise current is discharged to the grounded part, suppressing radiated noise. can do. In addition, since the top surface of the lid has a step shape that matches the height of multiple electronic components, even if the height of the electronic component to which heat is radiated is lower than other electronic components, the electronic component to which the heat is radiated can be removed. By forming the step so as to narrow the distance between the first heat dissipating member and the lid, the thickness of the first heat dissipating member can be suppressed, and deterioration of heat dissipation performance can be avoided. As a result, in a configuration in which multiple electronic components with different heights are mounted on a printed circuit board, radiation noise from the multiple electronic components can be appropriately suppressed, and heat dissipation performance can be appropriately improved (Patent Document 1, paragraph 0011).
特開2021-174847号公報Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2021-174847
 上記従来の電子機器は、放熱対象の電子部品とリッドとの間に設けられている第1放熱部材の外縁が放熱対象の電子部品の外縁よりも内側に位置し、放熱対象の電子部品の面積よりも第1放熱部材の面積が小さくなっている(特許文献1、図1、図3-5、図7-11、図13-図16、および図18)。このような構成において、放熱部材とリッドとの接触面積を増加させて電子部品の放熱性を向上させるために、隣接して配置されて配線で接続された二つの電子部品の放熱面に跨って放熱部材を配置することが考えられる。 In the conventional electronic device described above, the outer edge of the first heat radiating member provided between the electronic component to be heat radiated and the lid is located inside the outer edge of the electronic component to be heat radiated, and the area of the electronic component to be heat radiated is The area of the first heat radiating member is smaller than that of the first heat dissipating member (Patent Document 1, FIGS. 1, 3-5, 7-11, 13-16, and 18). In such a configuration, in order to increase the contact area between the heat dissipation member and the lid and improve the heat dissipation performance of the electronic components, the heat dissipation surface of two electronic components placed adjacent to each other and connected by wiring is It is conceivable to arrange a heat dissipation member.
 しかし、上記従来の電子機器は、隣接して配置された二つの電子部品の放熱面に跨って放熱部材を配置すると、二つの電子部品を接続する配線も放熱部材によって覆われるおそれがある。このように、二つの電子部品とそれらを接続する配線が、一つの連続する放熱部材によって覆われると、放熱部材を介した輻射ノイズが増加するおそれがある。 However, in the above-mentioned conventional electronic equipment, when a heat radiating member is placed across the heat radiating surfaces of two electronic components placed adjacent to each other, there is a risk that the wiring connecting the two electronic components may also be covered by the heat radiating member. In this way, when two electronic components and the wiring connecting them are covered by one continuous heat radiating member, there is a possibility that radiated noise via the heat radiating member increases.
 本開示は、輻射ノイズを抑制しつつ、電子部品の放熱性を向上させることが可能な電子制御装置を提供する。 The present disclosure provides an electronic control device that can improve heat dissipation of electronic components while suppressing radiation noise.
 本開示の一態様は、隣接して配置されて配線で接続された第1および第2の電子部品を含む回路基板と、該回路基板を収容するハウジングと、前記第1および第2の電子部品の放熱面と前記ハウジングとの間に配置される放熱部材とを備える電子制御装置であって、前記放熱部材は、前記ハウジングに対向する前記第1および第2の電子部品の前記放熱面に跨って設けられ、前記配線は、前記放熱部材よりも誘電率が低い低誘電率媒体によって覆われていることを特徴とする電子制御装置である。 One aspect of the present disclosure provides a circuit board including first and second electronic components arranged adjacent to each other and connected by wiring, a housing housing the circuit board, and the first and second electronic components. and a heat radiating member disposed between the heat radiating surface of the electronic component and the housing, the heat radiating member straddling the heat radiating surfaces of the first and second electronic components facing the housing. The electronic control device is characterized in that the wiring is covered with a low dielectric constant medium having a dielectric constant lower than that of the heat dissipating member.
 本開示の上記一態様によれば、放熱部材よりも誘電率が低い低誘電率媒体によって配線を覆うことで輻射ノイズを抑制しつつ、放熱部材とハウジングとの接触面積を増加させて電子部品の放熱性を向上させることが可能な電子制御装置を提供することができる。 According to the above aspect of the present disclosure, radiation noise is suppressed by covering the wiring with a low dielectric constant medium having a lower dielectric constant than that of the heat dissipation member, and the contact area between the heat dissipation member and the housing is increased, so that the electronic component It is possible to provide an electronic control device that can improve heat dissipation.

The first and second electronic components 111 and 112 are connected to the circuit of the circuit board 110 via, for example, an interposer and solder bumps (not shown), and are mounted on the circuit board 110.
 放熱部材130は、前述のように、少なくとも電子制御装置100の組み立て時に粘性、流動性、または可塑性を有している。そのため、放熱部材130は、第1および第2の凸部161,162の頂面161a,162a、または、第1および第2の電子部品111,112の放熱面111a,112aの上にそれぞれ分離して塗布または配置しても、隣接する放熱部材130が互いに接触して一体化する。その結果、放熱部材130は、ハウジング120のカバー122に設けられた第1および第2の凸部161,162の頂面161a,162aに対向する第1および第2の電子部品111,112の放熱面111a,112aに跨って一体に設けられている。 As described above, the heat dissipation member 130 has viscosity, fluidity, or plasticity at least when the electronic control device 100 is assembled. Therefore, the heat dissipation member 130 is separated on the top surfaces 161a, 162a of the first and second convex portions 161, 162, or on the heat dissipation surfaces 111a, 112a of the first and second electronic components 111, 112, respectively. Even when applied or placed, adjacent heat dissipating members 130 come into contact with each other and are integrated. As a result, the heat dissipation member 130 dissipates heat from the first and second electronic components 111 and 112 facing the top surfaces 161a and 162a of the first and second convex portions 161 and 162 provided on the cover 122 of the housing 120. It is provided integrally across surfaces 111a and 112a.
 配線115は、たとえば、互いに隣接する第1および第2の電子部品111,112間の高速通信を可能にする高速通信配線である。配線115は、放熱部材130よりも誘電率が低い低誘電率媒体170によって覆われている。低誘電率媒体170は、たとえば、比誘電率がほぼ1の空気である。また、低誘電率媒体170として、たとえば、シリコーン樹脂、アクリル樹脂、またはエポキシ樹脂など、比誘電率が2から3程度の樹脂材料を用いてもよい。 The wiring 115 is, for example, a high-speed communication wiring that enables high-speed communication between the first and second electronic components 111 and 112 that are adjacent to each other. The wiring 115 is covered with a low dielectric constant medium 170 having a lower dielectric constant than the heat dissipating member 130. The low dielectric constant medium 170 is, for example, air with a relative dielectric constant of approximately 1. Further, as the low dielectric constant medium 170, a resin material having a relative dielectric constant of about 2 to 3 may be used, such as silicone resin, acrylic resin, or epoxy resin.
 より詳細には、ハウジング120のカバー122は、第1の電子部品111の放熱面111aに対向する第1の凸部161と、第2の電子部品112の放熱面112aに対向する第2の凸部162と、を有している。図3に示す例において、第1の電子部品111の放熱面111aは、たとえば、中央部の半導体チップの表面を含む。そのため、第1および第2の電子部品111,112の回路基板110の表面からの高さは、第1の電子部品111の方が第2の電子部品112よりも高くなっている。 More specifically, the cover 122 of the housing 120 has a first protrusion 161 facing the heat radiation surface 111a of the first electronic component 111 and a second projection facing the heat radiation surface 112a of the second electronic component 112. 162. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the heat radiation surface 111a of the first electronic component 111 includes, for example, the surface of the central semiconductor chip. Therefore, the height of the first and second electronic components 111 and 112 from the surface of the circuit board 110 is such that the first electronic component 111 is higher than the second electronic component 112.
 一方、回路基板110に対向するカバー122の上壁部122aの内表面から回路基板110へ向けて突出する第1および第2の凸部161,162の高さは、第1の凸部161の方が第2の凸部162よりも低くなっている。これにより、第1および第2の凸部161,162が同じ高さである場合と比較して、第1の凸部161の頂面161aと第1の電子部品111の放熱面111aとの間隔D1と、第2の凸部162の頂面162aと第2の電子部品112の放熱面112aとの間隔D2との差が小さくなっている。 On the other hand, the heights of the first and second convex portions 161 and 162 that protrude toward the circuit board 110 from the inner surface of the upper wall portion 122a of the cover 122 facing the circuit board 110 are the same as those of the first convex portion 161. is lower than the second convex portion 162. As a result, the distance between the top surface 161a of the first protrusion 161 and the heat dissipation surface 111a of the first electronic component 111 is greater than when the first and second protrusions 161 and 162 have the same height. The difference between D1 and the distance D2 between the top surface 162a of the second convex portion 162 and the heat radiation surface 112a of the second electronic component 112 is small.

It faces the circuit board 110 in a direction perpendicular to it. Furthermore, the edge of the top surface 161a of the first convex portion 161 opposite to the recess 163 and the edge of the heat radiation surface 111a of the first electronic component 111 opposite to the wiring 115 are also perpendicular to the circuit board 110. facing the direction.
 同様に、第2の凸部162の頂面162aにおいて凹部163に隣接する端縁と、第2の電子部品112の放熱面112aにおける配線115に隣接する端縁とは、回路基板110に垂直な方向に対向している。また、第2の凸部162の頂面162aにおいて凹部163と反対側の端縁と、第2の電子部品112の放熱面112aにおける配線115と反対側の端縁も、回路基板110に垂直な方向に対向している。 Similarly, the edge adjacent to the recess 163 on the top surface 162a of the second convex portion 162 and the edge adjacent to the wiring 115 on the heat dissipation surface 112a of the second electronic component 112 are perpendicular to the circuit board 110. facing the direction. Furthermore, the edge of the top surface 162a of the second convex portion 162 opposite to the recess 163 and the edge of the heat radiation surface 112a of the second electronic component 112 opposite to the wiring 115 are also perpendicular to the circuit board 110. facing the direction.
 なお、配線115に垂直かつ回路基板110に平行な方向において、第1および第2の凸部161,162の頂面161a,162aの両端縁は、第1および第2の電子部品111,112の放熱面111a,112aの両端縁と、回路基板110に垂直な方向に対向していてもよい。また、上記第1および第2の凸部161,162の頂面161a,162aの両端縁は、上記第1および第2の電子部品111,112の放熱面111a,112aの両端縁の外側に位置してもよく、内側に位置してもよい。 In addition, in the direction perpendicular to the wiring 115 and parallel to the circuit board 110, both edges of the top surfaces 161a, 162a of the first and second convex portions 161, 162 are aligned with the edges of the first and second electronic components 111, 112. Both ends of the heat dissipation surfaces 111a and 112a may face each other in a direction perpendicular to the circuit board 110. Further, both edges of the top surfaces 161a and 162a of the first and second convex portions 161 and 162 are located outside both edges of the heat radiation surfaces 111a and 112a of the first and second electronic components 111 and 112. It may also be located inside.
 図4は、図1から図3に示す電子制御装置100を製造するための電子制御装置の製造方法Pの一例を示すフロー図である。図4に示す電子制御装置の製造方法Pのフローが開始されると、まず、カバー122を配置する工程P1が実施される。この工程P1では、たとえば、図2に示すように、カバー122の上壁部122aの内表面を上にした状態で、カバー122が配置される。 FIG. 4 is a flow diagram showing an example of an electronic control device manufacturing method P for manufacturing the electronic control device 100 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. When the flow of the electronic control device manufacturing method P shown in FIG. 4 is started, first, a step P1 of arranging the cover 122 is performed. In this step P1, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, the cover 122 is placed with the inner surface of the upper wall portion 122a of the cover 122 facing upward.
 次に、放熱部材130を配置する工程P2が実施される。この工程P2では、たとえば、前述のように、少なくとも電子制御装置100の組み立て時において、粘性、流動性、または可塑性を有する放熱部材130を、カバー122の第1および第2の凸部161,162の頂面161a,162aに塗布または配置する。これにより、第1の凸部161と凹部163と第2の凸部162の形状に倣う放熱部材130をハウジング120に配置する。 Next, step P2 of arranging the heat radiating member 130 is performed. In this step P2, for example, as described above, at least when assembling the electronic control device 100, the heat dissipating member 130 having viscosity, fluidity, or plasticity is attached to the first and second convex portions 161, 162 of the cover 122. It is coated or placed on the top surfaces 161a, 162a of. Thereby, the heat radiating member 130 that follows the shapes of the first convex portion 161, the concave portion 163, and the second convex portion 162 is arranged in the housing 120.
 次に、回路基板110を設置する工程P3が実施される。この工程P3では、回路基板110を、配線115が低誘電率媒体170によって覆われた状態で、ハウジング120に配置された放熱部材130の上に設置する。そして、放熱部材130によって第1および第2の電子部品111,112の放熱面111a,112aを跨いで覆う。同時に、配線115の周囲に放熱部材130、回路基板110、第1の電子部品111、および第2の電子部品112によって低誘電率媒体170で満たされた空間を画定する。 Next, step P3 of installing the circuit board 110 is performed. In this step P3, the circuit board 110 is installed on the heat dissipation member 130 disposed in the housing 120 with the wiring 115 covered with the low dielectric constant medium 170. Then, the heat dissipation member 130 straddles and covers the heat dissipation surfaces 111a and 112a of the first and second electronic components 111 and 112. At the same time, a space filled with a low dielectric constant medium 170 is defined around the wiring 115 by the heat dissipating member 130, the circuit board 110, the first electronic component 111, and the second electronic component 112.
 すなわち、低誘電率媒体170が空気である場合には、空気中で第1の凸部161と凹部163と第2の凸部162の形状に倣う放熱部材130の上に回路基板110を配置することで、配線115の周囲に空気で満たされた空間が画定される。また、低誘電率媒体170が前述のような低誘電率の樹脂である場合には、あらかじめ配線115にその樹脂を塗布しておく。その状態で、第1の凸部161と凹部163と第2の凸部162の形状に倣う放熱部材130の上に回路基板110を配置することで、配線115の周囲に低誘電率の樹脂で満たされた空間が画定される。 That is, when the low dielectric constant medium 170 is air, the circuit board 110 is placed on the heat dissipation member 130 that follows the shapes of the first convex portion 161, the concave portion 163, and the second convex portion 162 in the air. As a result, a space filled with air is defined around the wiring 115. Further, if the low dielectric constant medium 170 is a low dielectric constant resin as described above, the resin is applied to the wiring 115 in advance. In this state, by placing the circuit board 110 on the heat dissipation member 130 that follows the shapes of the first convex portion 161, the concave portion 163, and the second convex portion 162, a resin with a low dielectric constant is placed around the wiring 115. A filled space is defined.
 その後、図1および図2に示す複数のネジ140を回路基板110の複数の貫通孔114に挿通させてカバー122のネジ穴122cにねじ込んで、回路基板110をカバー122に固定する。さらに、放熱部材130が導電性接着剤である場合には、たとえば、放熱部材130を加熱して硬化させる。 Thereafter, the plurality of screws 140 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are inserted into the plurality of through holes 114 of the circuit board 110 and screwed into the screw holes 122c of the cover 122 to fix the circuit board 110 to the cover 122. Furthermore, when the heat dissipation member 130 is a conductive adhesive, for example, the heat dissipation member 130 is heated and cured.
 次に、ベース部121を設置する工程P4が実施される。この工程P4では、たとえば、図2に示すボルト150をベース部121の四隅の貫通孔121bに挿通させて、カバー122の四隅のネジ穴122dにねじ込んで、ベース部121をカバー122に固定する。これにより、回路基板110を収容するハウジング120が形成され、電子制御装置100が完成する。以上により、図4に示す電子制御装置の製造方法Pのフローが終了する。 Next, step P4 of installing the base portion 121 is performed. In this step P4, for example, the bolts 150 shown in FIG. 2 are inserted into the through holes 121b at the four corners of the base part 121 and screwed into the screw holes 122d at the four corners of the cover 122, thereby fixing the base part 121 to the cover 122. As a result, a housing 120 that accommodates the circuit board 110 is formed, and the electronic control device 100 is completed. With the above steps, the flow of the electronic control device manufacturing method P shown in FIG. 4 is completed.
 以下、本実施形態の電子制御装置100および電子制御装置の製造方法Pの作用を説明する。 Hereinafter, the effects of the electronic control device 100 and the electronic control device manufacturing method P of this embodiment will be explained.
 本実施形態の電子制御装置100は、前述のように、回路基板110と、ハウジング120と、放熱部材130とを備えている。回路基板110は、隣接して配置されて配線115で接続された第1および第2の電子部品111,112を含む。ハウジング120は、回路基板110を収容する。放熱部材130は、第1および第2の電子部品111,112の放熱面111a,112aとハウジング120との間に配置され、ハウジング120に対向する第1および第2の電子部品111,112の放熱面111a,112aに跨って設けられている。配線115は、放熱部材130よりも誘電率が低い低誘電率媒体170によって覆われている。 As described above, the electronic control device 100 of this embodiment includes the circuit board 110, the housing 120, and the heat radiation member 130. Circuit board 110 includes first and second electronic components 111 and 112 arranged adjacent to each other and connected by wiring 115. Housing 120 houses circuit board 110. The heat radiation member 130 is disposed between the heat radiation surfaces 111a, 112a of the first and second electronic components 111, 112 and the housing 120, and is arranged to dissipate the heat of the first and second electronic components 111, 112 facing the housing 120. It is provided across surfaces 111a and 112a. The wiring 115 is covered with a low dielectric constant medium 170 having a lower dielectric constant than the heat dissipating member 130.
 このように、放熱部材130が第1および第2の電子部品111,112の放熱面111a,112aに跨って設けられることで、放熱部材130と放熱面111a,112aおよびハウジング120との接触面積を増加させることができる。その結果、第1および第2の電子部品111,112の放熱面111a,112aから放熱部材130を介してハウジング120へ移動する熱を増加させ、第1および第2の電子部品111,112の放熱性を向上させることができる。 In this way, the heat dissipation member 130 is provided across the heat dissipation surfaces 111a, 112a of the first and second electronic components 111, 112, thereby reducing the contact area between the heat dissipation member 130, the heat dissipation surfaces 111a, 112a, and the housing 120. can be increased. As a result, the heat transferred from the heat radiation surfaces 111a, 112a of the first and second electronic components 111, 112 to the housing 120 via the heat radiation member 130 is increased, and the heat radiation of the first and second electronic components 111, 112 is increased. can improve sex.
 また、上記のように、放熱部材130よりも誘電率が低い低誘電率媒体170によって配線115が覆われていることで、ノイズの発生を抑制することができる。すなわち、配線115に由来するノイズ強度Nは、配線115とハウジング120との間のインピーダンスZに反比例する(N∝1/Z)。また、配線115とハウジング120との間のインピーダンスZは、配線115とハウジング120との間の空間を占める物質の静電容量Cおよび周波数fに反比例する(Z=1/(2πfC))。さらに、静電容量Cは、真空の誘電率ε、配線115とハウジング120との間の空間を占める物質の比誘電率ε、および面積Sに比例し、距離Dに反比例する(C=ε・ε・S/D)。 Further, as described above, since the wiring 115 is covered with the low dielectric constant medium 170 whose dielectric constant is lower than that of the heat dissipation member 130, the generation of noise can be suppressed. That is, the noise intensity N originating from the wiring 115 is inversely proportional to the impedance Z between the wiring 115 and the housing 120 (N∝1/Z). Further, the impedance Z between the wiring 115 and the housing 120 is inversely proportional to the capacitance C of the material occupying the space between the wiring 115 and the housing 120 and the frequency f (Z=1/(2πfC)). Further, the capacitance C is proportional to the dielectric constant ε 0 of the vacuum, the relative dielectric constant ε s of the material occupying the space between the wiring 115 and the housing 120, and the area S, and is inversely proportional to the distance D (C= ε 0・ε s・S/D).
 したがって、配線115が放熱部材130よりも誘電率が低い低誘電率媒体170によって覆われることで、配線115が放熱部材130に覆われている場合と比較して、配線115の周囲の静電容量Cが減少する。その結果、配線115の周囲のインピーダンスZが増加し、配線115に由来するノイズ強度Nが低下する。また、配線115を覆う低誘電率媒体170の体積が増加するほど、配線115に由来するノイズの抑制効果を向上させることができる。 Therefore, by covering the wiring 115 with the low dielectric constant medium 170 whose dielectric constant is lower than that of the heat dissipating member 130, the capacitance around the wiring 115 is reduced compared to when the wiring 115 is covered with the heat dissipating member 130. C decreases. As a result, the impedance Z around the wiring 115 increases, and the noise intensity N originating from the wiring 115 decreases. Further, as the volume of the low dielectric constant medium 170 that covers the wiring 115 increases, the effect of suppressing noise originating from the wiring 115 can be improved.
 また、本実施形態の電子制御装置100において、ハウジング120は、第1の電子部品111の放熱面111aに対向する第1の凸部161と、第2の電子部品112の放熱面112aに対向する第2の凸部162と、を有している。さらに、ハウジング120は、第1および第2の凸部161,162の間に設けられて配線115に対向する凹部163を有している。そして、放熱部材130は、これら第1の凸部161、凹部163、および第2の凸部162の形状に倣う形状を有し、回路基板110、第1の電子部品111、および第2の電子部品112とともに、配線115の周囲に低誘電率媒体170によって満たされた空間を画定する。 Furthermore, in the electronic control device 100 of the present embodiment, the housing 120 has a first convex portion 161 facing the heat radiation surface 111a of the first electronic component 111 and a first convex portion 161 facing the heat radiation surface 112a of the second electronic component 112. It has a second convex portion 162. Further, the housing 120 has a recess 163 provided between the first and second protrusions 161 and 162 and facing the wiring 115. The heat dissipation member 130 has a shape that follows the shapes of the first convex portion 161, the concave portion 163, and the second convex portion 162, and has a shape that follows the shapes of the first convex portion 161, the concave portion 163, and the second convex portion 162, and the heat dissipation member 130 has a shape that follows the shapes of the first protrusion 161, the concave portion 163, and the second convex portion 162, and is Together with the component 112, a space filled with a low dielectric constant medium 170 is defined around the wiring 115.
 また、本実施形態の電子制御装置の製造方法Pは、上記電子制御装置100を製造する方法である。電子制御装置の製造方法Pは、前述のように、工程P2と工程P3を有している。工程P2では、第1の凸部161と凹部163と第2の凸部162の形状に倣う放熱部材130をハウジング120に配置する。工程P3では、回路基板110を配線115が低誘電率媒体170によって覆われた状態でハウジング120に配置された放熱部材130の上に設置し、放熱部材130によって第1および第2の電子部品111,112の放熱面111a,112aを跨いで覆う。それと同時に、配線115の周囲に放熱部材130、回路基板110、第1の電子部品111、および第2の電子部品112によって低誘電率媒体170で満たされた空間を画定する。 Furthermore, the electronic control device manufacturing method P of this embodiment is a method of manufacturing the electronic control device 100 described above. As described above, the electronic control device manufacturing method P includes the process P2 and the process P3. In step P2, the heat dissipation member 130 that follows the shapes of the first convex portion 161, the concave portion 163, and the second convex portion 162 is arranged in the housing 120. In step P3, the circuit board 110 is installed on the heat dissipation member 130 disposed in the housing 120 with the wiring 115 covered with the low dielectric constant medium 170, and the heat dissipation member 130 connects the first and second electronic components 111. , 112 and covers the heat dissipating surfaces 111a and 112a. At the same time, a space filled with a low dielectric constant medium 170 is defined around the wiring 115 by the heat dissipation member 130, the circuit board 110, the first electronic component 111, and the second electronic component 112.
 このように、本実施形態の電子制御装置100および電子制御装置の製造方法Pでは、放熱部材130が第1の凸部161、凹部163、および第2の凸部162の形状に倣う形状を有する。これにより、ハウジング120の第1および第2の凸部161,162と反対側の放熱部材130の表面にハウジング120の凹部163の形状に対応する凹部を形成し、その凹部を配線115に対向させて配置することができる。その結果、第1および第2の電子部品111,112の放熱面111a,112aの広い範囲と、ハウジング120の広い範囲を、放熱面111a,112aを跨ぐ放熱部材130を介して熱的に接続することができ、第1および第2の電子部品111,112の放熱性が向上する。さらに、放熱部材130の凹部と、回路基板110の表面と、第1および第2の電子部品111,112とによって、配線115の周囲に低誘電率媒体170によって満たされた空間を画定し、配線115に由来するノイズを低減することができる。 As described above, in the electronic control device 100 and the electronic control device manufacturing method P of the present embodiment, the heat dissipation member 130 has a shape that follows the shapes of the first convex portion 161, the concave portion 163, and the second convex portion 162. . As a result, a recess corresponding to the shape of the recess 163 of the housing 120 is formed on the surface of the heat dissipation member 130 on the opposite side to the first and second projections 161 and 162 of the housing 120, and the recess is opposed to the wiring 115. It can be placed as follows.
