The first chip 121 and the second chip 122 are of a unitary structure. The via structure penetrates the first chip 121 and the second chip 122. For example, the first chip 121 and the second chip 122 may be an entire chip structure cut from the same silicon wafer.
Through setting up first chip 121 and second chip 122 as an organic whole structure, can reduce the processing degree of difficulty, and then reduce cost, in addition, can also increase the connection stability between first power component 191 and the second power component 192, prolong the life of this power module 100.
Of course, in other embodiments, the first chip 121 and the second chip 122 may be provided in a split structure (not shown in the drawings), that is, a space between the first chip 121 and the second chip 122 is provided, and a part of the plastic package case 130 is provided in the space between the first chip 121 and the second chip 122.

The side of the first metal frame 111 facing away from the first chip 121 and the side of the second metal frame 112 facing away from the first chip 121 are located on the same plane.
By arranging the surface of the first metal frame 111 facing away from the first chip 121 and the surface of the second metal frame 112 facing away from the first chip 121 on the same plane, the heat dissipation area of the power module 100 can be increased relative to the package of only one power device, and the heat dissipation performance of the power module 100 can be further improved.
In one possible implementation, as shown in fig. 3, the first metal frame 111 and the second metal frame 112 are of a unitary structure. By arranging the first metal frame 111 and the second metal frame 112 as an integral structure, the heat dissipation area of the power module 100 can be increased, the thermal resistance of the power module 100 can be reduced, and the heat dissipation performance can be improved.

So that the first metal frame 111 and the second metal frame 112 are arranged in an insulating manner. Illustratively, the via structure 170 extends through the spacer 180. By penetrating the via structure 170 through the spacer 180, the difficulty of processing the via structure 170 can be reduced because there is no metal frame 110 within the spacer 180.
By arranging the first metal frame 111 and the second metal frame 112 at intervals, electrical connection between the first power component 191 and the second power component 192 is not provided, so that the power module 100 can be applied to a scene where the two power components do not need to be connected, and flexibility of application scenes of the power module 100 is improved.

By placing the drain lead 140 at one end in the plastic package 130 in contact with the side edge of the metal frame 110, the metal frame 110 is electrically conductive, so that after the drain lead 140 is connected with the metal frame 110, the metal frame 110 can be used as a part of the drain, thereby achieving the purpose of heat dissipation through the drain, and the area of the metal frame 110 is much larger than that of the drain lead 140, so that the heat dissipation effect of the power assembly can be improved. In addition, the power module can be applied to different scenes by arranging the second power component to be in a structure radiating through the drain electrode, so that the applicability of the power module is improved.

By setting the thickness of the first connection portion 1511 of the first gate pin 151 to be smaller than the thickness of the first metal frame 111, a space can be reserved for the plastic package housing 130 located on the side of the first connection portion 1511 facing away from the first chip 121, so as to ensure that the first surface of the plastic package housing 130 is flush with the side of the first metal frame 111 facing away from the first chip 121 for subsequent assembly with other devices. By covering a part of the structure of the plastic package body 130 on the surface of the first connection portion 1511 facing away from the first chip 121, the first connection portion 1511 can be wrapped inside the plastic package body 130, so as to prevent a short circuit between the source and the gate of the first power component 191 when the power module 100 is connected with the heat sink.
Similarly, by setting the thickness of the second connection portion 1521 of the second gate pin 152 to be smaller than the thickness of the second metal frame 112, a space can be reserved for the plastic package housing 130 located on the side of the second connection portion 1521 facing away from the second chip 122, so as to ensure that the first surface of the plastic package housing 130 is flush with the side of the second metal frame 112 facing away from the second chip 122, so as to facilitate subsequent assembly with other devices.

In addition, when the radiator is connected, the exposed surfaces of the first metal frame 111 and the second metal frame 112 can be bonded with the radiator, so that the heat dissipation effect of each position of the power module 100 is guaranteed to be in a good state.
In the embodiment of the present application, the first source lead 161 is electrically connected to the metal frame 111, and since the first metal frame 111 is also of a conductive structure, after the first source lead 161 is electrically connected to the first metal frame 111, the first metal frame 111 can be made to serve as a part of the source, and thus the purpose of heat dissipation through the source is achieved, and since the area of the first metal frame 111 is significantly larger than that of the source lead, the heat dissipation effect of the first power component 191 can be improved. In addition, by setting the first power component 191 to be a structure that dissipates heat through the source, the power module 100 can be applied in different scenarios, and the applicability of the power module 100 is improved.
Similarly, by electrically connecting the second source lead 162 to the second metal frame 112, since the second metal frame 112 is also electrically conductive, after the second source lead 162 is electrically connected to the second metal frame 112, the second metal frame 112 can be made to serve as a part of the source, and the purpose of heat dissipation through the source can be achieved, and since the area of the second metal frame 112 is significantly larger than the source lead, the heat dissipation effect of the second power component 192 can be improved. In addition, by setting the second power component 192 to be a structure that dissipates heat through the source, the power module 100 can be applied in different scenarios, and the applicability of the power module 100 is improved.

In one possible implementation, the gate bosses and the metal frame bosses corresponding to the same chip 120 have the same height in the thickness direction of the power module 100.
Through the same height setting of the grid boss and the metal frame boss corresponding to the same chip 120, one surface of the chip 120 deviating from the metal frame 110 is parallel to the metal frame 110, so that stress at the connection part of the chip 120 and the metal frame 110 and the connection part of the chip 120 and the grid pin 150 is uniform, and further, the risk of cracking at the connection position between the chip 120 and the metal frame 110 or the grid pin 150 can be prevented, so that the service life of the power module 100 is prolonged.
