Description

半導体装置および半導体装置ユニットSemiconductor equipment and semiconductor equipment units
 本開示は、半導体装置および半導体装置ユニットに関する。 The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor device and a semiconductor device unit.
 従来、MOSFET(Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor)などの電力用スイッチング素子を備える半導体装置が知られている。このような半導体装置は、産業機器から家電や情報端末、自動車用機器まであらゆる電子機器に搭載される。特許文献1には、従来の半導体装置が開示されている。特許文献1に記載の半導体装置は、複数の半導体素子(10)、およびこれら半導体素子を覆う封止樹脂(70)を備えている。複数の半導体素子(10)の各々は、SiCを構成材料とするスイッチング素子である。複数の半導体素子(10)は、複数の半導体素子10A(第1スイッチング素子)および複数の半導体素子10B(第2スイッチング素子)を含んでいる。上記従来の半導体装置において、複数の半導体素子10Aは上アーム回路を構成し、複数の半導体素子10Bは下アーム回路を構成する。上アーム回路において、複数の半導体素子10Aは互いに並列に接続され、下アーム回路において、複数の半導体素子10Bは互いに並列に接続される。複数の半導体素子10Aと複数の半導体素子10Bとは、直列に接続されている。SiCを構成材料とする半導体素子は大面積化が困難であるため、特許文献1に記載された半導体装置のように、当該半導体装置に要求される電流容量に応じて、複数ずつの半導体素子10A,10Bがそれぞれ並列して内蔵される。 Conventionally, semiconductor devices including power switching elements such as MOSFETs (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors) are known. Such semiconductor devices are installed in all kinds of electronic equipment, from industrial equipment to home appliances, information terminals, and automobile equipment. Patent Document 1 discloses a conventional semiconductor device. The semiconductor device described in Patent Document 1 includes a plurality of semiconductor elements (10) and a sealing resin (70) that covers these semiconductor elements. Each of the plurality of semiconductor elements (10) is a switching element made of SiC. The plurality of semiconductor elements (10) include a plurality of semiconductor elements 10A (first switching element) and a plurality of semiconductor elements 10B (second switching element). In the conventional semiconductor device described above, the plurality of semiconductor elements 10A constitute an upper arm circuit, and the plurality of semiconductor elements 10B constitute a lower arm circuit. In the upper arm circuit, the plurality of semiconductor elements 10A are connected in parallel with each other, and in the lower arm circuit, the plurality of semiconductor elements 10B are connected in parallel with each other. The plurality of semiconductor elements 10A and the plurality of semiconductor elements 10B are connected in series. Since it is difficult to increase the area of a semiconductor element using SiC as a constituent material, as in the semiconductor device described in Patent Document 1, a plurality of semiconductor elements 10A are required depending on the current capacity required for the semiconductor device. , 10B are built in parallel.
 しかしながら、上記従来の半導体装置の構成によれば、並列された複数ずつの半導体素子10A,10Bそれぞれにおいて熱干渉が生じるおそれがあり、放熱性の低下が懸念される。また、半導体装置において要求される電流容量に応じて、内蔵する半導体素子10A,10Bの数量を変える必要がある。これに対応するには、半導体装置の製品種類を増やす必要があり、製造コストの上昇を招くことになる。 However, according to the configuration of the conventional semiconductor device described above, there is a risk that thermal interference may occur in each of the plurality of semiconductor elements 10A and 10B arranged in parallel, and there is a concern that heat dissipation performance may deteriorate. Furthermore, it is necessary to change the number of built-in semiconductor elements 10A and 10B depending on the current capacity required of the semiconductor device. To cope with this, it is necessary to increase the number of semiconductor device products, which leads to an increase in manufacturing costs.

When the first switching element 10A is joined to the first conductive part 2A, the element back surface 102 faces the first conductive part 2A. The second switching element 10B is mounted on the conductive support 2. The second switching element 10B is conductively bonded to the conductive support 2 (second conductive portion 2B to be described later) via a conductive bonding material 19. When the second switching element 10B is joined to the second conductive part 2B, the element back surface 102 faces the second conductive part 2B.
 2つのスイッチング素子10(第1スイッチング素子10Aおよび第2スイッチング素子10B)はそれぞれ、第1主面電極11、第2主面電極12および裏面電極13を有する。以下で説明する第1主面電極11、第2主面電極12および裏面電極13の構成は、各スイッチング素子10において共通する。第1主面電極11および第2主面電極12は、素子主面101に設けられている。第1主面電極11および第2主面電極12は、図示しない絶縁膜により絶縁されている。裏面電極13は、素子裏面102に設けられている。 The two switching elements 10 (first switching element 10A and second switching element 10B) each have a first main surface electrode 11, a second main surface electrode 12, and a back electrode 13. The configurations of the first main surface electrode 11, second main surface electrode 12, and back surface electrode 13 described below are common to each switching element 10. The first main surface electrode 11 and the second main surface electrode 12 are provided on the element main surface 101. The first main surface electrode 11 and the second main surface electrode 12 are insulated by an insulating film (not shown). The back electrode 13 is provided on the back surface 102 of the element.
 第1主面電極11は、たとえばゲート電極であって、スイッチング素子10を駆動させるための駆動信号(たとえばゲート電圧)が入力される。各スイッチング素子10において、第2主面電極12は、たとえばソース電極であって、ソース電流が流れる。裏面電極13、たとえばドレイン電極であって、ドレイン電流が流れる。裏面電極13は、素子裏面102の略全域を覆っている。裏面電極13、たとえばAg(銀)めっきにより構成される。 The first principal surface electrode 11 is, for example, a gate electrode, and a drive signal (eg, gate voltage) for driving the switching element 10 is input thereto.

 各スイッチング素子10は、第1主面電極11(ゲート電極)に駆動信号(ゲート電圧)が入力されると、この駆動信号に応じて、導通状態と遮断状態とが切り替わる。導通状態では、裏面電極13(ドレイン電極)から第2主面電極12(ソース電極)に電流が流れ、遮断状態では、この電流が流れない。各スイッチング素子10は、スイッチング動作を行う。半導体装置A10は、第1スイッチング素子10Aおよび第2スイッチング素子10Bのスイッチング機能により、後述の第1主端子512と第3主端子532とに入力される直流電圧をたとえば交流電圧に変換して、第2主端子522から交流電圧を出力する。 When a drive signal (gate voltage) is input to the first main surface electrode 11 (gate electrode), each switching element 10 switches between a conductive state and a cutoff state in accordance with this drive signal. In a conductive state, a current flows from the back electrode 13 (drain electrode) to the second main surface electrode 12 (source electrode), and in a cutoff state, this current does not flow. Each switching element 10 performs a switching operation. The semiconductor device A10 converts, for example, a DC voltage input to a first main terminal 512 and a third main terminal 532, which will be described later, into an AC voltage using the switching functions of the first switching element 10A and the second switching element 10B.
