Detailed Description
The invention will be further explained with reference to the drawings.
Fig. 2 and 3 show the structure of a semiconductor power device of an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the semiconductor power device 100 may be an IGCT device (Integrated Gate-commutilated Thyristor in chinese), an IGBT device (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor in chinese) or the like. The semiconductor power device 100 includes a power processing assembly, a heat conducting base plate 30 for carrying the power processing assembly, a housing 40 fastened to the heat conducting base plate 30 and accommodating the power processing assembly together therewith, and a potting adhesive (not shown) disposed between the housing 40 and the heat conducting base plate 30 and capable of burying the power processing assembly.
The power processing module includes an insulating substrate 21 and a plurality of chips 22 disposed on the insulating substrate 21. The insulating substrate 21 may be selected from a glass substrate with a wiring layer (e.g., copper foil), a quartz substrate, a sapphire substrate, or a ceramic substrate. The plurality of chips 22 are electrically connected through the wiring layer of the insulating substrate 21. The particular choice of chip 22 is related to the particular choice of semiconductor power device 100, such as when semiconductor power device 100 is selected as an IGCT device, chip 22 may be selected as a GTO chip 22; for another example, when semiconductor power device 100 is selected as an IGBT device, chip 22 may be selected as IGBT chip 22. It should be noted that when the chip 22 is selected as the IGBT chip 22 of the IGBT device, it is difficult to connect the chips 22 by only the line layer of the insulating substrate 21 to meet the requirement of the IGBT device, so the power processing assembly may further include a bonding wire 24 for electrically connecting the top electrode of the chip 22 with the insulating substrate 21.
The power processing assembly also includes a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor includes a sensor body 231 disposed within the insulating substrate 21 and below a selected chip 22, and an electrical connection 232 connected to the sensor body 231 and extending out of the insulating substrate 21. The sensor body 231 is used for detecting the working temperature of the chip 22, and the electric connection member 232 can transmit the detection signal of the sensor body 231 to the outside of the insulating substrate 21. The temperature sensor is typically selected to be a thermistor or thermocouple with a pin that is an integral or partial structure of electrical connection 232. Electrical connector 232 is preferably L-shaped so that a first end thereof can enter dielectric substrate 21 and be connected to sensor body 231, while an opposite second end can exit the top of housing 40 and facilitate a person making an electrical connection therewith. To improve the stability of the L-shaped electrical connector 232, the second end of the L-shaped electrical connector may first penetrate the sidewall of the housing and then exit the top of the housing 40.
In the present embodiment, the sensor body 231 of the temperature sensor of the power processing assembly is completely disposed in the insulating substrate 21, so that it can be insulated from the chip 22 by the insulating substrate 21, and the risk of short-circuit arc breakdown of the chip 22 and damage to the temperature sensor is reduced. Meanwhile, the sensor body 231 of the temperature sensor in the present embodiment is located below the selected chip 22 in addition to the insulating substrate 21, but the sensor of the temperature sensor in the prior art is originally located at one side of the chip 22, and since the inventor of the present invention finds that the heat quantity of the lower region of the selected chip 22 (especially, the inside of the insulating substrate 21) is closer to the actual operating temperature of the chip 22 than the heat quantity of the side region thereof after the inventor of the present invention has paid attention to, compared with the prior art, the error between the temperature detection result of the temperature sensor in the present embodiment and the actual operating temperature of the selected chip 22 is smaller, which is beneficial to accurately controlling the operating temperature of the chip 22. In a preferred embodiment, the insulating substrate 21 is selected as a ceramic substrate with a circuit layer, which not only can further reduce the risk of short-circuit arc breakdown of the chip 22 and damage to the temperature sensor, but also can further reduce the error between the temperature detection result of the temperature sensor and the actual operating temperature of the selected chip 22, because the ceramic substrate has the advantages of low cost, good insulation and high heat transfer efficiency.
In the present embodiment, the insulating substrate 21 includes a substrate body 211 and a receiving groove 212 formed on the substrate body 211, wherein the receiving groove 212 is for receiving a sensor body 231 of the temperature sensor and an electrical connector 232. By accommodating the temperature sensor in the accommodation groove 212 provided in the substrate body 211, the temperature sensor can be incorporated into the insulating substrate 21 at low cost, and the insulating substrate 21 can ensure good insulation between the sensor body 231 of the temperature sensor and the chip 22. In addition to the way of accommodating the temperature sensor by the accommodation groove 212 provided in the substrate body 211, the temperature sensor may be installed in the insulating substrate 21 by another way (for example, a pre-embedded way), and the insulating substrate 21 can ensure that the sensor body 231 of the temperature sensor and the chip 22 are insulated and isolated.
In this embodiment, the substrate body 211 includes a first edge and a second edge opposite to each other, and the receiving groove 212 vertically extends from the first edge of the substrate body 211 toward the second edge thereof, so that the manufacturing difficulty and the manufacturing cost of the receiving groove 212 can be effectively reduced. In order to determine the length of the accommodating groove 212 and further reduce the manufacturing difficulty and the manufacturing cost of the accommodating groove 212, the distance from the selected chip 22 to the first edge of the insulating substrate 21 is less than or equal to the distance from the other chips 22 to the first edge of the insulating substrate 21. The cross section of the receiving groove 212 may be selected to be circular, polygonal or other shapes, but it is recommended to select the shape to match the cross section of the sensor body 231, so as to ensure a larger contact area between the two, and further reduce the error between the temperature detection result of the temperature sensor and the actual operating temperature of the selected chip 22.
In this embodiment, the power processing assembly further includes a thermal conductive adhesive (not shown) filled in the receiving groove 212 and capable of fixing the temperature sensor in the receiving groove 212. The thermal conductive adhesive not only can fix the temperature sensor in the accommodating groove 212, but also can further reduce the error between the temperature detection result of the temperature sensor and the actual working temperature of the selected chip 22. The heat-conducting glue belongs to the conventional products in the field and is not described in detail herein.
Furthermore, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. In the description of the present invention, "a plurality" means two or more unless specifically defined otherwise.
