Description
本開示は、半導体装置及び半導体装置の製造方法に関わる。
The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device.
電鉄用モータ等の大電力制御に用いられる一般的な半導体装置の構成は、表面に半導体素子が搭載された絶縁基板、及び絶縁基板の裏面に接合されたベース板から構成される組立体を取り囲むようにケースがベース板に固定されており、ケース内部に絶縁基板と間隔を空けて制御基板が配置され、絶縁基板及び制御基板は外部接続端子により外部に電気的に接続される。さらに、半導体素子及び電極はボンディングワイヤにより電気的に接続される。また、ケース内部に半導体素子保護、並びに部分放電及び絶縁破壊防止のための弾性率が非常に小さいシリコーンゲル、及びシリコーンゲルの上側に端子固定及びパッケージの機密保持のためにエポキシ樹脂組成物等の硬質樹脂が充填されている。
The structure of a general semiconductor device used for high-power control of motors for electric railways, etc. surrounds an assembly consisting of an insulating substrate with a semiconductor element mounted on its front surface and a base plate bonded to the back surface of the insulating substrate. The case is fixed to the base plate, the control board is arranged inside the case with a gap from the insulating board, and the insulating board and the control board are electrically connected to the outside by external connection terminals. Furthermore, the semiconductor element and the electrodes are electrically connected by bonding wires. In addition, a silicone gel with a very small elastic modulus is used inside the case to protect the semiconductor element and prevent partial discharge and dielectric breakdown. Filled with hard resin.
この従来の半導体装置では、低温時、熱収縮するシリコーンゲルが硬質樹脂に拘束されることにより、シリコーンゲルに引張応力が働く。そのためシリコーンゲルと絶縁基板との間で界面剥離の発生を招きやすい。
In this conventional semiconductor device, tensile stress acts on the silicone gel as the silicone gel, which thermally shrinks at low temperatures, is constrained by the hard resin. Therefore, interfacial peeling is likely to occur between the silicone gel and the insulating substrate.
そこで、シリコーンゲルの構造欠損の発生を抑制する技術が検討されている。例えば、特許文献1では、シリコーンゲルと硬質樹脂との界面に接着阻害層を設置することによって、低温時、熱収縮するシリコーンゲルが硬質樹脂から拘束されるのを防止する。よってシリコーンゲル中に気泡の発生、及びシリコーンゲルと絶縁基板との間での界面剥離の発生を抑制する構造としている。
Therefore, techniques for suppressing the occurrence of structural defects in silicone gel are being studied. For example, in Patent Document 1, an adhesion-inhibiting layer is provided at the interface between a silicone gel and a hard resin to prevent the hard resin from binding the silicone gel, which thermally shrinks at low temperatures. Therefore, the structure suppresses the generation of air bubbles in the silicone gel and the occurrence of interfacial peeling between the silicone gel and the insulating substrate.
特許文献1の半導体装置によれば、シリコーンゲルの上面はその上方からの拘束が弱くなり、低温時、シリコーンゲルが熱収縮することに伴い、シリコーンゲルの上面が内側に引っ張られ、下方に変位する。他方でシリコーンゲルはケースの壁面に拘束されるので、接着阻害層、空気及びケースから構成される三重点に応力が集中する。このため、シリコーンゲルにせん断応力が働き、シリコーンゲルとケースとの間での界面剥離が発生しやすくなるという課題があった。シリコーンゲルとケースとの間の界面剥離は、半導体装置内における部分放電又は絶縁破壊の原因となる。
According to the semiconductor device of Patent Document 1, the upper surface of the silicone gel is less restrained from above, and when the temperature is low, as the silicone gel thermally contracts, the upper surface of the silicone gel is pulled inward and displaced downward. do. On the other hand, since the silicone gel is constrained by the wall surface of the case, the stress is concentrated at the triple point composed of the adhesion inhibiting layer, air and case. For this reason, there is a problem that shear stress acts on the silicone gel, and interfacial peeling between the silicone gel and the case tends to occur. Interfacial peeling between the silicone gel and the case causes partial discharge or dielectric breakdown in the semiconductor device.
また硬質樹脂および接着阻害層を設けず、シリコーンゲルの上方を空気で満たすように構成する場合もある。この構成においても同様に、シリコーンゲル、空気及びケースの三重点への応力集中が生じるので、低温時のシリコーンゲルとケースとの間の界面剥離が発生しやすい。
In some cases, the hard resin and the adhesion-inhibiting layer are not provided, and the upper part of the silicone gel is filled with air. Also in this configuration, stress concentration occurs at the triple point of the silicone gel, air, and the case, so interfacial separation between the silicone gel and the case at low temperatures is likely to occur.
本開示は、上述した課題を解決するためになされたものであり、シリコーンゲルとケースとの間での界面剥離を阻止できる半導体装置及び半導体装置の製造方法を提供することを目的とする。

図2及び図3に示された突出部9の外縁がケース8の内壁に接して設けられる。図2、図3に示すように、突出部9は、上面視する方向(図1で言えば、ベース板1の表面に垂直な方向)に貫通する貫通孔90を、ケース8の内壁より内側に有し、上面視でケース8の内壁から貫通孔90までの領域を埋めた形状である。つまり貫通孔90は突出部9の上面及びその裏面である底面を貫通し、ケース8の内壁には接しない。突出部9の内側面が貫通孔90の側壁を構成する。 The
The outer edge of the projecting
突出部9は、突出部9の底面が半導体素子4及びボンディングワイヤ5よりも上側に位置する高さから、突出部9の上面が制御基板7よりも下側に位置する高さまでの範囲に設けられる。突出部9の内側面は、シリコーンゲル封止部11の上面にほぼ直交する。貫通孔90とケース8の内壁から貫通孔90までの領域との上面視の面積比(貫通孔90:ケース8の内壁から貫通孔90までの領域)はおおよそ9:1~5:5であることが望ましく、上面視で貫通孔90は、ケース8の内壁で形成される領域のほぼ中央に位置するように設けられる。

The inner surface of the protruding portion 9 is substantially orthogonal to the upper surface of the silicone gel sealing portion 11 . The area ratio between the through hole 90 and the area from the inner wall of the case 8 to the through hole 90 in a top view (through hole 90: area from the inner wall of the case 8 to the through hole 90) is about 9:1 to 5:5. Desirably, the through hole 90 is provided so as to be positioned substantially in the center of the area formed by the inner wall of the case 8 when viewed from above.
突出部9は、ケース8に一体成形で又はケースと別々に形成される。突出部9は、一体成形の場合、金型を用いてケース8と圧縮成形され、ケース8と突出部9とが単一の部材となる。突出部9とケース8とが別々に形成される場合、個別に成形された突出部9とケース8とが、シリコーン系若しくはエポキシ系等の接着剤(図示せず)、又はネジ(図示せず)でケース8内壁に固定される。突出部9は、例えばPPS(Polyphenylenesulfide)で形成される。
The protruding part 9 is formed integrally with the case 8 or separately from the case. In the case of integral molding, the projecting portion 9 is compression-molded with the case 8 using a mold, and the case 8 and the projecting portion 9 form a single member. When the projecting portion 9 and the case 8 are formed separately, the projecting portion 9 and the case 8 that are separately molded are bonded together by a silicone-based or epoxy-based adhesive (not shown) or screws (not shown). ) to the inner wall of the case 8 . The projecting portion 9 is made of, for example, PPS (Polyphenylene sulfide).
貫通孔90の上面視の形状として、図2の突出部9aの貫通孔90aの断面形状は長方形、図3の突出部9bの貫通孔90bの断面形状は楕円形に形成されている。貫通孔90の上面視形状は、図2,3に示した形状に限らず、例えば、正方形又は円形でもよい。
As for the top view shape of the through-hole 90, the cross-sectional shape of the through-hole 90a of the projecting portion 9a in FIG. 2 is rectangular, and the cross-sectional shape of the through-hole 90b of the projecting portion 9b in FIG. 3 is elliptical. The top view shape of the through hole 90 is not limited to the shape shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and may be square or circular, for example.
なお複数の貫通孔が分散して突出部9に設けられてもよい。いずれも貫通孔もケース8の内壁より内側に設けられていればよい。実施の形態1では、貫通孔90に2つの第一のバスバー61が通されるが、複数の貫通孔の例として、貫通孔90とは別に、バスバー貫通用の貫通孔が設けられてもよい。その場合の貫通孔はバスバーの配置に一致する箇所に設けられる。
It should be noted that a plurality of through-holes may be distributed and provided in the protruding portion 9 . In both cases, the through holes may be provided inside the inner wall of the case 8 .

The through holes in that case are provided at locations that match the arrangement of the busbars.
シリコーンゲル封止部11は、シリコーンゲルをベース板1とケース8とで囲まれる領域内に充填することにより形成される。シリコーンゲルは、硬化後の針入度が65以上で弾性率が非常に小さく、硬化後の体積膨張係数が900~1200ppm/K程度であり、硬化前は低粘度の液体、硬化後はゲル状となる。また、シリコーンゲルには、加熱硬化型と室温硬化型があるが、以下では加熱硬化型を用いて説明する。
The silicone gel sealing portion 11 is formed by filling a region surrounded by the base plate 1 and the case 8 with silicone gel. Silicone gel has a penetration of 65 or more after curing, a very small elastic modulus, and a volume expansion coefficient of about 900 to 1200 ppm/K after curing. becomes. There are two types of silicone gel: heat-curable and room-temperature-curable, but the heat-curable type will be described below.
シリコーンゲル封止部11は、半導体素子4及び絶縁基板2を封止し、シリコーンゲル封止部11の上面が突出部9の底面以上の高さとなるようにケース8内部に充填されている。つまりシリコーンゲル封止部11が突出部9の少なくとも底面に接合されている。
シリコーンゲル封止部11の上面が突出部9の底面と同じ高さに形成されてもよいが、実施の形態1においてはシリコーンゲル封止部11の上面が突出部9の上面と同じ高さに形成される。よってシリコーンゲル封止部11は貫通孔90に充填され、突出部9の底面及び内側面並びにケース8の側面に接合される。シリコーンゲル封止部11の上面が突出部9の上面よりさらに高い位置に設けられてもよいが、制御基板7よりも下側の位置に抑えるのが望ましい。 The siliconegel sealing portion 11 seals the semiconductor element 4 and the insulating substrate 2 , and fills the inside of the case 8 so that the top surface of the silicone gel sealing portion 11 is higher than the bottom surface of the projecting portion 9 . That is, the silicone gel sealing portion 11 is bonded to at least the bottom surface of the projecting portion 9 .
Although the top surface of siliconegel sealing portion 11 may be formed at the same height as the bottom surface of protruding portion 9 , in the first embodiment, the top surface of silicone gel sealing portion 11 is at the same height as the top surface of protruding portion 9 . formed in Accordingly, the silicone gel sealing portion 11 is filled in the through hole 90 and joined to the bottom surface and inner side surface of the protruding portion 9 and the side surface of the case 8 . Although the upper surface of the silicone gel sealing portion 11 may be provided at a position higher than the upper surface of the projecting portion 9 , it is desirable to keep it below the control board 7 .
シリコーンゲル封止部11の上面が突出部9の底面と同じ高さに形成されてもよいが、実施の形態1においてはシリコーンゲル封止部11の上面が突出部9の上面と同じ高さに形成される。よってシリコーンゲル封止部11は貫通孔90に充填され、突出部9の底面及び内側面並びにケース8の側面に接合される。シリコーンゲル封止部11の上面が突出部9の上面よりさらに高い位置に設けられてもよいが、制御基板7よりも下側の位置に抑えるのが望ましい。 The silicone

The lid 10 is installed on the top of the case 8 and seals the inside of the case 8 . The lid 10 separates the inside and outside of the semiconductor device 1000 to prevent dust and the like from entering the inside of the semiconductor device 1000 . For example, it is made of PPS (Polyphenylene sulfide) and fixed to the case 8 with a silicone-based or epoxy-based adhesive (not shown) or screws (not shown). A space is formed above the silicone gel sealing portion 11 , and the upper surface of the silicone gel sealing portion 11 is in contact with the air 13 .
蓋10には第二のバスバー62の断面とほぼ同じ形状を有する貫通孔(不図示)が第二のバスバー62の数だけ設けられ、蓋10がケース8に取り付けられると貫通孔に第二のバスバー62が挿通される。よって第二のバスバー62の一部は半導体装置1000から露出される。第一のバスバー61及び第二のバスバー62を含むバスバー6は、外と電気的な接続を行う外部接続端子として機能する。
The lid 10 is provided with through holes (not shown) having substantially the same shape as the cross section of the second busbars 62 , the number of which is the same as the number of the second busbars 62 . A bus bar 62 is inserted. Therefore, a portion of second bus bar 62 is exposed from semiconductor device 1000 . The busbars 6 including the first busbar 61 and the second busbar 62 function as external connection terminals for electrical connection with the outside.

An assembly process for assembling 100 is performed.
ベース板1と絶縁基板2とをはんだ12で接合する。絶縁基板2の上部電極21と半導体素子4をはんだ12で接合する。半導体素子4と上部電極21とをボンディングワイヤ5で接続する。さらに、上部電極21に2つの第一のバスバー61をはんだで接合する。このようにしてステップS1では、絶縁基板2、半導体素子4及びベース板1から、絶縁基板2の上面に半導体素子4が、絶縁基板2の下面にベース板1がそれぞれ接合された第一組立体100を組み立てる組み立て工程が行われる。 4, in step S1, a

図5を参照し、ステップS1の後のステップS2にて、上面視する方向に貫通する貫通孔90をケース8内壁より内側に有し、上面視でケース8の内壁から貫通孔90までの領域を埋める突出部9が設けられたケース8が用意される。ケース8がステップS1で作製された第一組立体100を取り囲むように、ケース8をベース板1に接着剤又はネジ等で固定する。このようにしてステップS2では、突出部9が設けられたケース8を第一組立体100のベース板1に固定するケース固定工程が行われ、その結果、第二組立体101が形成される。
Referring to FIG. 5, in step S2 after step S1, a through hole 90 penetrating in the direction viewed from the top is provided inside the inner wall of the case 8, and a region from the inner wall of the case 8 to the through hole 90 is formed in the top view. A case 8 provided with a protruding portion 9 for filling is prepared. The case 8 is fixed to the base plate 1 with an adhesive, screws, or the like so that the case 8 surrounds the first assembly 100 produced in step S1. Thus, in step S2, a case fixing step of fixing the case 8 provided with the projecting portion 9 to the base plate 1 of the first assembly 100 is performed, and as a result, the second assembly 101 is formed.
図6を参照し、ステップS2の後のステップS3にて、ステップS2で作製した第二組立体101のベース板1とケース8とで取り囲まれた領域に、封止部材であるシリコーンゲルを注入する。シリコーンゲルは、低粘度の液体状物質である。その後、シリコーンゲルが注入された第二組立体101をオーブンにより70℃で1時間加熱することによりシリコーンゲルが硬化し、絶縁基板2及び半導体素子4を封止するシリコーンゲル封止部11が形成される。シリコーンゲル封止部11は、その上面が突出部9の上面と同じ高さとなるようケース8の中に充填される。このようにしてステップS3では、絶縁基板2及び半導体素子4をシリコーンゲルで封止する第一の封止工程が行われ、その結果、第三組立体102を形成する。
Referring to FIG. 6, in step S3 after step S2, silicone gel as a sealing member is injected into the region surrounded by the base plate 1 and the case 8 of the second assembly 101 produced in step S2. do. Silicone gel is a low-viscosity liquid substance. After that, the second assembly 101 into which the silicone gel has been injected is heated in an oven at 70° C. for 1 hour to cure the silicone gel and form the silicone gel sealing portion 11 for sealing the insulating substrate 2 and the semiconductor element 4 . be done. The silicone gel sealing portion 11 is filled in the case 8 so that its upper surface is level with the upper surface of the projecting portion 9 . Thus, in step S3, a first sealing process is performed to seal the insulating substrate 2 and the semiconductor element 4 with silicone gel, and as a result, the third assembly 102 is formed.
なおシリコーンゲル封止部11の上面は少なくとも突出部9の底面の高さにあればよい。よって形成すべきシリコーンゲル封止部11の上面の高さに応じて硬化前に注入されるシリコーンゲルの注入量を変える。
The upper surface of the silicone gel sealing portion 11 should be at least as high as the bottom surface of the projecting portion 9 . Therefore, the injection amount of the silicone gel to be injected before curing is changed according to the height of the upper surface of the silicone gel sealing portion 11 to be formed.
図7を参照し、ステップS3の後のステップS4にて、2つの第二のバスバー62が接続された制御基板7を用意する。その制御基板7をステップS3で形成された第三組立体102に取りつける。具体的には、制御基板7はシリコーンゲル封止部11から露出した第一のバスバー61の部分とはんだで接合する。このとき第二のバスバー62は制御基板7の内部に形成された電気経路を介して第一のバスバー61と電気的に接続された状態となる。このようにしてステップS4では、制御基板7を突出部9の上面より高い位置に取り付ける制御基板取付工程が行われ、その結果、第四組立体103が形成される。
Referring to FIG. 7, in step S4 after step S3, the control board 7 to which the two second bus bars 62 are connected is prepared. The control board 7 is attached to the third assembly 102 formed in step S3. Specifically, the control board 7 is soldered to the portion of the first bus bar 61 exposed from the silicone gel sealing portion 11 . At this time, the second bus bar 62 is electrically connected to the first bus bar 61 through an electrical path formed inside the control board 7 . In this manner, in step S4, a control board mounting step is performed to mount the control board 7 at a position higher than the upper surface of the projecting portion 9, and as a result, the fourth assembly 103 is formed.
ステップS4の後のステップS5にて、蓋10が接着剤又はネジ等を用いてステップS5で形成された第四組立体103のケース8上部に固定され、ケース8を密閉する。このとき2つの第二のバスバー62のそれぞれ一部が蓋10から外側に突出する。このようにして図1に示される半導体装置1000の構造が得られる。
In step S5 after step S4, the lid 10 is fixed to the upper part of the case 8 of the fourth assembly 103 formed in step S5 using an adhesive or screws, thereby sealing the case 8. At this time, a part of each of the two second bus bars 62 protrudes outward from the lid 10 . Thus, the structure of the semiconductor device 1000 shown in FIG. 1 is obtained.
ステップS5の後、必要な電気的特性等を検査して半導体装置1000を完成させる。
After step S5, necessary electrical characteristics are inspected, and the semiconductor device 1000 is completed.
図8及び図9を用いて、実施の形態1における半導体装置1000の効果について説明する。図8は、実施の形態1に係る半導体装置1000のシリコーンゲル封止部11、突出部9及びケース8から構成される三重点付近の断面図、図9は従来の半導体装置のシリコーンゲル封止部11、空気13及びケース8から構成される三重点付近の断面図である。
Advantages of the semiconductor device 1000 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. FIG. FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the semiconductor device 1000 according to the first embodiment near the triple point composed of the silicone gel sealing portion 11, the protruding portion 9, and the case 8, and FIG. 9 is a silicone gel sealing of a conventional semiconductor device. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the vicinity of the triple point composed of the portion 11, the air 13 and the case 8. FIG.
図9に示すように半導体装置1000に突出部9がない場合、低温時、シリコーンゲル封止部11の熱収縮により、拘束を受けないシリコーンゲル封止部11の上面は内側に引っ張られ下方に変位するが、シリコーンゲル封止部11の側面はケース8の壁面に拘束されるので、シリコーンゲル封止部11、空気13及びケース8から構成される三重点に応力が集中する。この応力が三重点から下方向へのせん断応力として働き、例えば約-70℃の低温にもなると、図9のように、シリコーンゲル封止部11とケース8との間での界面剥離が起こり得る。
As shown in FIG. 9, when the semiconductor device 1000 does not have the protruding portion 9, the thermal contraction of the silicone gel sealing portion 11 at low temperatures pulls the upper surface of the silicone gel sealing portion 11, which is not restrained, inward and downward. Although it is displaced, the side surface of the silicone gel sealing portion 11 is constrained by the wall surface of the case 8 , so the stress concentrates on the triple point formed by the silicone gel sealing portion 11 , the air 13 and the case 8 . This stress acts as a downward shearing stress from the triple point, and at a low temperature of, for example, about −70° C., as shown in FIG. obtain.
これに対し、図8に示すように、実施の形態1に係る半導体装置1000では、突出部9を設け、シリコーンゲル封止部11が突出部9の少なくとも底面に接するので、ケース8壁面だけでなく突出部9の底面にも拘束される。そのため、シリコーンゲル封止部11、突出部9及びケース8から構成される三重点への応力集中が緩和される。よって突出部9を設けない場合と比べて、シリコーンゲル封止部11に働くせん断応力が抑制されるので、シリコーンゲル封止部11とケース8との間での界面剥離を阻止できる。従って、界面剥離が起因する半導体装置1000における部分放電及び絶縁破壊の抑制が可能となる。
In contrast, as shown in FIG. 8, in the semiconductor device 1000 according to the first embodiment, the projecting portion 9 is provided, and the silicone gel sealing portion 11 is in contact with at least the bottom surface of the projecting portion 9. It is also constrained by the bottom surface of the protruding portion 9. Therefore, stress concentration at the triple point formed by the silicone gel sealing portion 11, the protruding portion 9 and the case 8 is alleviated. Therefore, the shear stress acting on the silicone gel sealing portion 11 is suppressed compared to the case where the protruding portion 9 is not provided. Therefore, it is possible to suppress partial discharge and dielectric breakdown in the semiconductor device 1000 caused by interfacial peeling.
なおシリコーンゲル封止部11の上面が突出部9の上面と同じ高さに位置とした場合、図8のように、低温時のシリコーンゲル封止部11の収縮によって、シリコーンゲル封止部11、空気及び突出部9の三重点にシリコーンゲル封止部11の界面剥離が生じる。しかし突出部9の底面からの拘束力により、その界面剥離はシリコーンゲル封止部11、突出部9及びケース8の三重点には進行しにくい。
また、シリコーンゲル封止部11の上面が突出部9の上面より高い位置にある場合、低温時に、シリコーンゲル封止部11、空気及びケース8の三重点から界面剥離が生じる。その界面剥離がさらに突出部9の上面にも及んだとしても、突出部9の底面からの拘束力により、その界面剥離はシリコーンゲル封止部11、突出部9及びケース8の三重点には進行しにくい。 When the upper surface of the siliconegel sealing portion 11 is positioned at the same height as the upper surface of the protruding portion 9, as shown in FIG. , at the triple point of air and the protrusion 9, interfacial delamination of the silicone gel sealing portion 11 occurs. However, due to the restraining force from the bottom surface of the projecting portion 9 , the interfacial peeling does not easily progress to the triple point of the silicone gel sealing portion 11 , the projecting portion 9 and the case 8 .
Further, when the upper surface of the siliconegel sealing portion 11 is higher than the upper surface of the protruding portion 9, interfacial peeling occurs from the triple point of the silicone gel sealing portion 11, air, and case 8 at low temperatures. Even if the interfacial peeling extends to the upper surface of the protrusion 9, the restraining force from the bottom surface of the protruding portion 9 causes the interfacial peeling to occur at the triple point of the silicone gel sealing portion 11, the protruding portion 9, and the case 8. is difficult to progress.
また、シリコーンゲル封止部11の上面が突出部9の上面より高い位置にある場合、低温時に、シリコーンゲル封止部11、空気及びケース8の三重点から界面剥離が生じる。その界面剥離がさらに突出部9の上面にも及んだとしても、突出部9の底面からの拘束力により、その界面剥離はシリコーンゲル封止部11、突出部9及びケース8の三重点には進行しにくい。 When the upper surface of the silicone
Further, when the upper surface of the silicone
なお、半導体素子4及び絶縁基板2の封止部材としてシリコーンゲル110を使用する例について説明したが、その他の絶縁性のゲル状封止材及び樹脂封止材を用いてもよい。
Although the example of using the silicone gel 110 as the sealing member for the semiconductor element 4 and the insulating substrate 2 has been described, other insulating gel-like sealing materials and resin sealing materials may be used.

図11~図13を用いて、実施の形態2における半導体装置1001の製造方法について説明する。実施の形態1におけるステップS1~S3は実施の形態2にも適用される。
A method for manufacturing the semiconductor device 1001 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 13. FIG. Steps S1 to S3 in the first embodiment are also applied to the second embodiment.
図11を参照し、ステップS3の後のステップS6にて、第三組立体102のケース8の内部に接着阻害層15を形成する。具体的には、第三組立体102のシリコーンゲル封止部11の上面及び突出部9の上面に、シート状の接着阻害物質を配置する、スプレー等で接着阻害物質を吹き付ける、ペースト状の接着阻害物質を塗布する、又は接着阻害物質を低温で焼き入れる、等により接着阻害層15が形成される。このとき2つの第一のバスバー61の一部は接着阻害層15の上面から突出している。このようにしてステップS6では、シリコーンゲル封止部11の上面に接着阻害層15を配置する接着阻害層配置工程が行われ、その結果、第五組立体104が形成される。
Referring to FIG. 11, in step S6 after step S3, the adhesion inhibiting layer 15 is formed inside the case 8 of the third assembly 102. As shown in FIG. Specifically, on the upper surface of the silicone gel sealing portion 11 and the upper surface of the protruding portion 9 of the third assembly 102, a sheet-like adhesion inhibiting substance is placed, an adhesion inhibiting substance is sprayed with a spray or the like, or a paste adhesion is performed. The adhesion-inhibiting layer 15 is formed by applying an adhesion-inhibiting substance, baking the adhesion-inhibiting substance at a low temperature, or the like. At this time, part of the two first bus bars 61 protrude from the upper surface of the adhesion inhibition layer 15 . In this way, in step S6, the adhesion inhibiting layer arranging step of arranging the adhesion inhibiting layer 15 on the upper surface of the silicone gel sealing portion 11 is performed, and as a result, the fifth assembly 104 is formed.
図12を参照し、ステップS6の後のステップS7にて、2つの第二のバスバー62が接続された制御基板7を用意する。その制御基板7をステップS6で形成された第五組立体104に取り付ける。具体的には、制御基板7は接着阻害層15から露出した第一のバスバー61の部分とはんだで接合する。このとき第二のバスバー62は制御基板7の内部に形成された電気経路を介して第一のバスバー61と電気的に接続された状態となる。このようにしてステップS7では、制御基板7を突出部9の上面より高い位置に取り付ける制御基板取付工程が行われ、その結果、第六組立体105が形成される。
With reference to FIG. 12, in step S7 after step S6, the control board 7 to which the two second bus bars 62 are connected is prepared. The control board 7 is attached to the fifth assembly 104 formed in step S6. Specifically, the control board 7 is soldered to the portion of the first bus bar 61 exposed from the adhesion inhibition layer 15 . At this time, the second bus bar 62 is electrically connected to the first bus bar 61 through an electrical path formed inside the control board 7 . In this way, in step S7, a control board mounting step is performed to mount the control board 7 at a position higher than the upper surface of the projecting portion 9, and as a result, the sixth assembly 105 is formed.
図13を参照し、ステップS7の後のステップS8にて、第六組立体105のケース8の内部にエポキシ樹脂封止部14を形成する。具体的には、エポキシ樹脂又はエポキシ樹脂を主成分とする材料である封止材を接着阻害層15の上面に注入する。続いて、その封止材が注入された第六組立体105をオーブンにより150℃で1~2時間、引き続き200℃で2時間加熱して封止材を硬化し、エポキシ樹脂封止部14を形成する。このときエポキシ樹脂封止部14の上面は、制御基板7の上面以上に位置する。このようにしてステップS8では、接着阻害層15の上面をエポキシ樹脂で封止する第二の封止工程が行われ、その結果、第七組立体106が形成される。
Referring to FIG. 13, in step S8 after step S7, the epoxy resin sealing portion 14 is formed inside the case 8 of the sixth assembly 105. As shown in FIG. Specifically, a sealing material, which is an epoxy resin or a material containing epoxy resin as a main component, is injected onto the upper surface of the adhesion inhibiting layer 15 . Subsequently, the sixth assembly 105 into which the sealing material has been injected is heated in an oven at 150° C. for 1 to 2 hours and then at 200° C. for 2 hours to harden the sealing material, and the epoxy resin sealing portion 14 is formed. Form. At this time, the upper surface of the epoxy resin sealing portion 14 is positioned above the upper surface of the control board 7 . Thus, in step S8, a second sealing process is performed to seal the upper surface of the adhesion inhibiting layer 15 with epoxy resin, and as a result, the seventh assembly 106 is formed.
ステップS8の後、実施の形態1のステップS5と同じ工程が実施されることによって、図10に示される半導体装置1001の構造が得られる。
After step S8, the same process as step S5 of the first embodiment is performed to obtain the structure of the semiconductor device 1001 shown in FIG.
実施の形態2に係る半導体装置1001において、上記(1)のように、接着阻害層15がエポキシ樹脂封止部14とは接着し難く、シリコーンゲル封止部11とは接着する材料である場合、低温時にシリコーンゲル封止部11が熱収縮することに伴い、シリコーンゲル封止部11に働く圧縮応力によりシリコーンゲル封止部11及び接着阻害層15の中に含まれる気泡が移動し、接着阻害層15とエポキシ樹脂封止部14との間に空隙が生じる。
In the semiconductor device 1001 according to the second embodiment, as in (1) above, when the adhesion inhibition layer 15 is made of a material that is difficult to adhere to the epoxy resin sealing portion 14 but adheres to the silicone gel sealing portion 11, As the silicone gel sealing portion 11 thermally shrinks at a low temperature, the compressive stress acting on the silicone gel sealing portion 11 causes the air bubbles contained in the silicone gel sealing portion 11 and the adhesion inhibiting layer 15 to move, resulting in adhesion. A gap is formed between the inhibition layer 15 and the epoxy resin sealing portion 14 .
上記(2)のように、接着阻害層15がエポキシ樹脂封止部14及びシリコーンゲル封止部11共に接着するが非常に破壊しやすい材料である場合、シリコーンゲル封止部11が熱収縮すると、接着阻害層15がエポキシ樹脂封止部14に拘束されるものの接着阻害層15に破壊が起こり、接着阻害層15に空隙が生じる。
As in (2) above, when the adhesion inhibiting layer 15 adheres to both the epoxy resin sealing portion 14 and the silicone gel sealing portion 11 but is made of a material that is very easily destroyed, if the silicone gel sealing portion 11 thermally shrinks, Although the adhesion inhibiting layer 15 is restrained by the epoxy resin sealing portion 14 , the adhesion inhibiting layer 15 is broken and voids are generated in the adhesion inhibiting layer 15 .
さらに上記(3)のように、エポキシ樹脂封止部14及びシリコーンゲル封止部11共に接着しにくい材料である場合、シリコーンゲル封止部11及び接着阻害層15の中に含まれる気泡が移動し、接着阻害層15とエポキシ樹脂封止部14との間に空隙が生じる。
接着阻害層15がシリコーンゲル封止部11に接着しにくい材料であっても、シリコーンゲル封止部11と接着阻害層15との間に空隙が生じないのは、上記(3)が液体状だからである。 Furthermore, as in (3) above, when both the epoxyresin sealing portion 14 and the silicone gel sealing portion 11 are made of materials that are difficult to adhere to, air bubbles contained in the silicone gel sealing portion 11 and the adhesion inhibiting layer 15 move. Then, a gap is generated between the adhesion inhibiting layer 15 and the epoxy resin sealing portion 14 .
Even if the adhesion-inhibitinglayer 15 is made of a material that is difficult to adhere to the silicone gel sealing portion 11, no gap is formed between the silicone gel-sealing portion 11 and the adhesion-inhibiting layer 15 because (3) above is a liquid state. That's why.
接着阻害層15がシリコーンゲル封止部11に接着しにくい材料であっても、シリコーンゲル封止部11と接着阻害層15との間に空隙が生じないのは、上記(3)が液体状だからである。 Furthermore, as in (3) above, when both the epoxy
Even if the adhesion-inhibiting
(1)~(3)のいずれであっても、低温時、シリコーンゲル封止部11の上面は内側からの引っ張り力によって下方に変位する。しかし実施の形態1と同様、シリコーンゲル封止部11は、突出部9の底面に接するので、突出部9の底面に拘束される。シリコーンゲル封止部11の上面が変位しても、突出部9の底面からの拘束によってシリコーンゲル封止部11、突出部9及びケース8から構成される三重点に応力が集中することが避けられる。従って、シリコーンゲル封止部11とケース8との間での界面剥離を阻止できる。
In any of (1) to (3), when the temperature is low, the upper surface of the silicone gel sealing portion 11 is displaced downward by a pulling force from the inside. However, as in the first embodiment, the silicone gel sealing portion 11 is in contact with the bottom surface of the projecting portion 9 , and is constrained by the bottom surface of the projecting portion 9 . Even if the upper surface of the silicone gel sealing portion 11 is displaced, the concentration of stress on the triple point formed by the silicone gel sealing portion 11, the protrusion 9, and the case 8 can be avoided by restraint from the bottom surface of the protrusion 9. be done. Therefore, interfacial separation between the silicone gel sealing portion 11 and the case 8 can be prevented.
さらに、高温時(例えば約180℃)又は低気圧時(例えば、約10kPa)、熱膨張するシリコーンゲル110がエポキシ樹脂封止部14により押さえられるため、シリコーンゲル110に圧縮応力が働き、シリコーンゲル110中で気泡の発生を阻止でき。シリコーンゲル110と絶縁基板2との間で界面剥離の発生を阻止できる。従って高温時又は低気圧時における半導体装置1001における部分放電及び絶縁破壊の抑制が可能となる。
Furthermore, when the temperature is high (for example, about 180° C.) or when the pressure is low (for example, about 10 kPa), the thermally expanding silicone gel 110 is pressed by the epoxy resin sealing portion 14, so a compressive stress acts on the silicone gel 110, and the silicone gel 110 is compressed. In 110, the generation of air bubbles can be prevented. Interfacial separation between the silicone gel 110 and the insulating substrate 2 can be prevented. Therefore, it is possible to suppress partial discharge and dielectric breakdown in the semiconductor device 1001 at high temperature or low pressure.
なお、半導体素子4及び絶縁基板2を封止する第一の封止材の上側に充填される封止部材としてエポキシ樹脂封止部14を使用する例について説明したが、ウレタン樹脂等、第一の封止材より硬質の樹脂を封止部材として用いてもよい。
The example of using the epoxy resin sealing portion 14 as the sealing member filled on the upper side of the first sealing material that seals the semiconductor element 4 and the insulating substrate 2 has been described. A resin harder than the sealing material may be used as the sealing member.
また、半導体素子4及び絶縁基板2を封止する第一の封止材にシリコーンゲル、第一の封止材の上側に充填される第二の封止材にエポキシ樹脂を用いる例について説明したが、第二の封止材は、第一の封止材よりも体積膨張係数が小さい樹脂であればよい。
Also, an example has been described in which silicone gel is used as the first sealing material for sealing the semiconductor element 4 and the insulating substrate 2, and epoxy resin is used as the second sealing material filled on the upper side of the first sealing material. However, the second sealing material may be a resin having a smaller volume expansion coefficient than the first sealing material.
図14は、本開示に係る半導体装置1000及び半導体装置1001の突出部9の変形例として突出部9aの構成を示す断面図である。
半導体装置1000及び半導体装置1001では突出部9の内側面が、シリコーンゲル封止部11の上面にほぼ直交する平面をなしている。図14に示すように、突出部9aでは、内側面と上面との角及び内側面と底面との角にそれぞれ丸みをつけている。この丸み部分においてシリコーンゲル封止部11に生じる応力が緩和されるので、シリコーンゲル封止部11は突出部9から剥がれにくくなる。 FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view showing a configuration of a protrudingportion 9a as a modified example of the protruding portion 9 of the semiconductor device 1000 and the semiconductor device 1001 according to the present disclosure.
In thesemiconductor device 1000 and the semiconductor device 1001 , the inner side surface of the protruding portion 9 forms a plane substantially perpendicular to the upper surface of the silicone gel sealing portion 11 . As shown in FIG. 14, in the projecting portion 9a, the corners between the inner surface and the upper surface and the corners between the inner surface and the bottom surface are rounded. Since the stress generated in the silicone gel sealing portion 11 is relieved at this rounded portion, the silicone gel sealing portion 11 is less likely to separate from the projecting portion 9 .
