Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of power electronics, and particularly relates to a buck circuit silicon carbide power module.
Background
buck half-bridge circuits are widely used in a variety of electronic devices. However, the power devices used by the conventional commercial buck half-bridge module still mainly comprise silicon-based devices, and the circuit has low current-carrying capacity and high loss and is not suitable for being used in high-power-level circuits.
Silicon carbide devices have higher current carrying capability, higher switching speed, lower switching losses, and are capable of operating at higher temperatures than silicon-based devices. However, the parasitic inductance of the current conversion loop of the existing commercial silicon carbide module is generally large, and the switching voltage and current stress borne by the silicon carbide device can be increased. In addition, the current carrying capacity between single silicon carbide chips is limited, and the current carrying capacity of a module is often improved by connecting a plurality of power chips in parallel in a high-power occasion, however, the current imbalance among the chips connected in parallel is caused by different parasitic inductance introduced into a driving circuit.
Based on the above circumstances, there is an urgent need for a buck circuit silicon carbide power module which can realize low parasitic inductance, current equalization of parallel power chips and high current-carrying capacity.

The third chip area is in a shape of pi, the fourth chip area is in a shape of Chinese character 'shan', the third chip area and the fourth chip area are arranged up and down and are placed together in a staggered mode, and the second negative electrode connecting area is composed of two polygonal areas and is filled in a groove in the middle of the fourth chip area; the third control area is located above the third chip area, and the fourth control area is located below the fourth chip area. The length of the loop is reduced through reasonable layout design among different connection areas, so that parasitic inductance of a current conversion loop is reduced, the reliability of the module is improved, the buck circuit can work under higher voltage level and higher switching frequency, and the power density of the module is effectively improved.

Detailed Description
The following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention will be provided with reference to the drawings and examples, so that how to apply the technical means to solve the technical problems and achieve the technical effects can be fully understood and implemented. It should be noted that, as long as there is no conflict, the embodiments and the features of the embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other, and the technical solutions formed are within the scope of the present invention.
In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without some of these specific details or with other methods described herein.
The invention provides a buck circuit silicon carbide power module, which comprises: the silicon carbide power chip and the driving resistor form two buck half-bridge circuits which comprise a first buck half-bridge circuit and a second buck half-bridge circuit; the silicon carbide power chips are connected through metal bonding wires; the bottom layer is directly welded on the bottom plate through the copper-clad ceramic DBC substrate.
Examples
Fig. 1 shows a schematic structural diagram of a buck circuit silicon carbide power module provided in this example, which includes DBC substrates 101 and 102, a silicon carbide power chip 201a, a silicon carbide power chip 201b, a silicon carbide power chip 202a, a silicon carbide power chip 202b, positive power terminals 301 and 302, negative power terminals 401 and 402, output power terminals 501 and 502, a driving terminal 601a, a driving terminal 601b, a driving terminal 602a, a driving terminal 602b, a driving resistor 7, a bottom board 8, and a package case 9. The silicon carbide power chip 201a and the silicon carbide power chip 201b form a first buck half-bridge circuit and are welded on the DBC substrate 101, and the silicon carbide power chip 202a and the silicon carbide power chip 202b form a second buck half-bridge circuit and are welded on the DBC substrate 102.
Fig. 2 shows a schematic circuit diagram of the first buck half-bridge circuit of the present example. The first buck half-bridge circuit in this example includes a silicon carbide power chip 201a, a silicon carbide power chip 201 b. The silicon carbide power chip 201a forms an upper bridge arm of the first buck half-bridge circuit, and the silicon carbide power chip 201b forms a lower bridge arm of the first buck half-bridge circuit. The second buck half-bridge circuit has the same structure as the first buck half-bridge circuit, and is not described herein. It should be noted that, the two buck half-bridge circuits mentioned in this embodiment may use one half-bridge circuit alone, or may use two half-bridge circuits simultaneously, and the present invention is not limited to this application.
Preferably, the silicon carbide power chips 201a, 202a, 201b and 202b used in this embodiment are formed by connecting 6 silicon carbide MOSFET power chips in parallel, so that the current carrying capacity of the module can be improved. Meanwhile, the silicon carbide power chips 201a and 201b are symmetrically distributed about the horizontal axis of the module, so that the length balance of the parallel power loop can be realized, the loop connection distance is reduced, and the loop parasitic inductance is reduced. The silicon carbide power chip 202a and the silicon carbide power chip 202b form a second buck half-bridge circuit, which is consistent with the first buck half-bridge circuit loop layout and is not described herein again.
It should be further noted that, in the present embodiment, each power semiconductor chip included in the buck circuit may be implemented by using a different chip, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, a silicon carbide MOSFET chip with a freewheeling diode may be employed.
Further, it should be noted that, in different embodiments of the present invention, each power semiconductor chip included in the buck circuit may be implemented by using a different number of chips in parallel, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, 6 silicon carbide power chips may be employed in parallel.
In the present embodiment, 4 copper pillar terminals are used for each of the positive power terminals 301 and 302 and the negative power terminals 401 and 402, and 6 copper pillar terminals are used for each of the output power terminals 501 and 502. And the multiple terminals are symmetrically distributed, so that the electrified current of each copper column can be reduced, and the stability is improved. Meanwhile, the layout positions of the positive power terminal and the negative power terminal are optimized, and the positive power terminal and the negative power terminal are placed in parallel and relatively close to each other as far as possible on the premise of ensuring insulation, so that the length of a loop is reduced, and the parasitic inductance of the loop is reduced.
It is noted that in different embodiments of the present invention, the power terminals may be implemented using different numbers of differently shaped terminals, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the positive power terminal employs 4 copper pillar terminals and the output power terminal employs 6 copper pillar terminals.
In this embodiment, 4 driving terminals are distributed at four corners of the module. The driving terminals 601a are connected to the gates of the respective parallel power chips of the silicon carbide power chip 201a through different driving resistors 7. The driving resistor and the parallel power chip of 201a are oppositely arranged in parallel. When the module works, a driving signal is transmitted to the grid electrode of the silicon carbide power chip 201a through the driving resistor, and the power chip is controlled to be turned off. Because the distances from the parallel power chips of the silicon carbide power chip 201a to the driving terminal 601a are different, the parasitic inductance of the driving loop is different, and the switching speeds of the multiple parallel power chips of 201a are consistent by changing the resistance value of the driving resistor 7, so that the current sharing among the multiple parallel chips is realized. The current sharing principle of the silicon carbide power chip 201b, the silicon carbide power chip 202a and the silicon carbide power chip 202b is the same as that of the power chip 201a, and the description thereof is omitted.
Fig. 3 shows a schematic structural view of the DBC substrates 101 and 102 of the present embodiment. The DBC substrate 101 includes a circuit layer 1a, an insulating layer 1b, and a heat dissipation layer 1 c. The power chip, the power terminal and the driving terminal are welded on the circuit layer. The circuit layer 1a is made of an oxygen-free copper material, and the surface of the circuit layer is subjected to nickel plating treatment, so that the oxidation resistance of the surface is enhanced, and the wire bonding is facilitated. The insulating layer 1b is made of AlN material. The heat generated in the working process of the power chip is conducted to the heat dissipation layer through the circuit layer and the insulating layer to dissipate the heat. The DBC substrates 102 and 101 have the same structure and are not described in detail herein.
Fig. 4 shows a schematic diagram of the connection region distribution of the circuit layers of the DBC substrates 101 and 102 of the present embodiment. The chip comprises a first chip area 101a, a second chip area 101b, a third chip area 102a, a fourth chip area 102b, a first negative electrode connection area 101c, a second negative electrode connection area 102c, a first control area 101d, a second control area 101e, a third control area 102d and a fourth control area 102 e. The drain and positive power terminal 301 of the sic power chip 201a is soldered on the first chip region 101a, the drain and output power terminal 501 of the sic power chip 201b is soldered on the second chip region 101b, and the negative power terminal 401 is soldered on the first negative connection region 101 c. The driving terminal 601a is soldered to the first control area 101d, and the driving terminal 601b is soldered to the second control area 101 e. The power chips are interconnected through bonding wires. The DBC substrate 101 and the DBC substrate 102 are axisymmetrically distributed about a module vertical center line. The connections of the power chip, the connection terminals, and the DBC substrate 102 circuit layer connection area are similar to those of the DBC substrate 101 circuit layer connection area, and are not described herein again.
In the implementation process of the module, the power chip, the power terminal and the driving terminal are firstly welded on the DBC substrate, then the power chip is connected in a lead bonding mode, then the DBC substrate is welded on the bottom plate, finally the module shell is sleeved on the bottom plate, and plastic package is carried out through the plastic sealing glue, so that the buck circuit silicon carbide power module shown in the figure 1 is constructed, and the advantages of simplified process, compact structure and light weight are achieved.
As can be seen from the above description, in the buck circuit silicon carbide power module provided in this embodiment, the power chip having a specific power conversion function is soldered on the circuit layer of the DBC substrate by a specific technology, and using the silicon carbide device, the module can operate at a higher switching frequency, so as to reduce the volume of the passive device of the module, reduce the loss in the module, and thus implement a high power density.
Further, by optimizing the layout arrangement of the circuit connection area of the circuit layer, the buck circuit commutation loop is symmetrical. And on the basis of ensuring the insulating condition of the module, the length of the commutation loop is reduced, and the problem of larger parasitic inductance introduced by a longer commutation loop can be avoided, so that the reliability of the module is ensured and the loss is reduced. Meanwhile, through the reasonable layout of the power chips in the circuit and the optimization of the driving resistance value, the influence of the parasitic inductance of a current conversion loop can be reduced, the current sharing among a plurality of parallel power chips is realized, and the operation reliability of the module is improved.
Further, the buck circuit silicon carbide power module provided by the example comprises two buck half-bridge circuits. They may be used either individually or simultaneously.
As can be seen from the above description, the embodiment provides a buck circuit silicon carbide power module, in which a silicon carbide semiconductor chip is soldered on a DBC substrate through a chip interconnection technology, and compared with an existing power module, by using a silicon carbide semiconductor device, the module can operate at a higher frequency and a higher temperature, and the working performance of the module can be effectively improved. Meanwhile, the parallel power chips inside the module are symmetrically distributed, and the direction of the bonding wire is vertical to the placing direction of the parallel chips, so that the length of the parallel loop is consistent. Furthermore, aiming at the characteristic that the silicon carbide chip is sensitive to parasitic inductance, the invention provides a novel layout of a DBC circuit layer connecting area, and the circuit layout is optimized by arranging the combined placement positions of different connecting areas, so that the low parasitic parameters of the module and the current sharing of the parallel chips are realized.
