Hereinafter, a circuit board and a semiconductor module according to embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1A shows a semiconductor module 1000 of this embodiment. In FIG. 1A, the second metal plate 12 is indicated by a wavy line and is seen through so that the connection between the circuit board 10 and the semiconductor element 50 can be easily seen. 1B is an X-X ′ cross-sectional view of FIG. 1A, FIG. 1C is a Y-Y ′ cross-sectional view of FIG. 1A, and FIG. 1D is a Z-Z ′ cross-sectional view of FIG. FIG. 1E shows the circuit board 10 separated from the semiconductor module 1000, and the connection portions of the conductor posts 31 to 33 are indicated by arrows.
As shown in FIGS. 1A to 1E, the semiconductor module 1000 of the present embodiment includes a circuit board 10, a semiconductor element 50, and a radiator 100. The semiconductor module 1000 is mounted on, for example, an HV (hybrid vehicle) such as an FCHEV (fuel cell hybrid vehicle), and is used, for example, as a switching element for boosting electric power from a battery or controlling a motor. The semiconductor element 50 is, for example, a rectangular plate IGBT element, a GTO thyristor element, or the like. A similar structure can also be adopted by a semiconductor device high speed diode (FWD: Free Wheeling Diode) having two electrodes.
A radiator 100 is provided on the lower surface of the semiconductor element 50. As a result, heat dissipation is enhanced, temperature rise of the semiconductor element 50 is reduced, and damage, abnormal operation, and the like are suppressed. On the other hand, the circuit board 10 is electrically connected to the upper surface of the semiconductor element 50.
The circuit board 10 includes a first metal plate 11, a second metal plate 12, a third metal plate 13, an insulating fixing resin 21, a reinforcing resin 22, and first to third conductor posts. 31-33.
The material of the 1st-3rd metal plates 11-13 should just be a highly conductive and high heat capacity conductor material. Examples of the material of the first to third metal plates 11 to 13 include Cu, Cu—Cr alloy, Cu—Ni—Si alloy, and Cu—Fe alloy. The second metal plate 12 is more conductive and flexible than the first and third metal plates 11 and 13 in consideration of mountability with a control plate such as an IPM (Intelligent Power Module) board and the degree of design freedom. For example, a metal foil or a flexible wiring board is preferable. However, the materials of the first to third metal plates 11 to 13 are not limited to these materials.
The first and third metal plates 11 and 13 are each made of, for example, a copper plate having a thickness of about 1.0 mm. In an HV (hybrid vehicle) such as an FCHEV (fuel cell hybrid vehicle), a very large current flows, and thus it is necessary to increase the heat capacity for heat radiation. The second metal plate 12 is made of, for example, a copper plate having a thickness of about 0.2 mm. The second metal plate 12 can be made flexible, and the mountability is also improved.
The fixing resin 21 and the reinforcing resin 22 are made of, for example, bismaleimide triazine resin (BT resin), and are for fixing the first to third metal plates 11 to 13 as shown in FIGS. 1B to 1D, for example. is there. By using the fixing resin 21 and the reinforcing resin 22 in combination, the metal plate and parts can be held more stably. The fixing resin 21 is disposed between the first to third metal plates 11 to 13 and mechanically connects and electrically insulates the first to third metal plates 11 to 13. The reinforcing resin 22 covers the first to third metal plates 11 to 13 and the fixing resin 21. By being fixed by the fixing resin 21 and the reinforcing resin 22, the connection strength between the first to third metal plates 11 to 13 is increased. The fixing resin 21 and the reinforcing resin 22 may be any resin having insulating properties and heat resistance. Examples of the material of the fixing resin 21 or the reinforcing resin 22 include an epoxy resin, a phenol resin, a polyimide resin, a polyamide, and a silicon resin. The fixing resin 21 and the reinforcing resin 22 are formed as necessary, and their shapes, materials, and the like can be changed according to applications and the like.
The fixing resin 21 and the first to third metal plates 11 to 13 are formed with holes (holes) for inserting (for example, inserting) the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 at predetermined positions. . The hole is, for example, a through hole or a bottomed hole. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 1B to 1D, one end of the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 and the first to third metal plates 11 to 13 are electrically connected via the solder 25, respectively. Is done. In addition, the solder 25 is arrange | positioned at the end of the 1st-3rd conductor posts 31-33, and also flows into the contact part of the 1st-3rd metal plates 11-13 in detail (refer FIG. 2D). Any kind of solder may be used. For example, Sn-Cu, Bi-Sn, Sn-Pb, Zn-Al, and Sn-Zn can be used. The first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 are fitted to each of the first to third metal plates 11 to 13 so that they are connected with high reliability. The reinforcing resin 22 preferably covers the insertion holes of the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33. This is because peeling of the solder 25 can be prevented and connection reliability can be maintained. The material of the conductor post may be any material. For example, Cu, Cu—Cr alloy, Cu—Ni—Si alloy, Cu—Fe alloy, Al, Al alloy and the like can be used.
The semiconductor element 50 has a collector electrode 51, a gate electrode 52, and an emitter electrode 53. The semiconductor element 50 and the spacer 54 are mounted on the metal layer 104 formed on the radiator 100. The spacer 54 may be any conductor as long as it is a conductor, and may be one obtained by plating a metal such as copper on a core material made of resin, metal, or ceramic in addition to Cu or Cu alloy. The collector electrode 51 is electrically connected to the metal layer 104 and is electrically connected to the first metal plate 11 via the spacer 54 and the first conductor post 31. The gate electrode 52 is electrically connected to the second metal plate 12 through the second conductor post 32. The emitter electrode 53 is electrically connected to the third metal plate 13 via the third conductor post 33. The first to third metal plates 11 to 13 are disposed substantially parallel to the surface of the semiconductor element 50. The spacer 54 is provided according to the length of the first conductor post 31 and may not be provided depending on the case (for example, when the lengths of the conductor posts are not unified).
The radiator 100 includes a substrate 100a made of, for example, ceramic (for example, aluminum nitride: AlN, silicon nitride: SiN, alumina: Al 2 O 3 , beryllia: BeO), and metal layers 104 formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the substrate 100a. Is composed of. A semiconductor element 50 is mounted on the radiator 100. As described above, the metal layer 104 is electrically connected to the first metal plate 11 via the spacer 54 and the first conductor post 31. The metal layer 104 may be formed only on the upper surface of the radiator 100, on the mounting side, or on both surfaces. (When formed on both surfaces, it is only necessary to be electrically connected to the first metal plate 11 at least on the mounting side.) Furthermore, the substrate 100a of the radiator 100 is made of an inorganic material such as ceramic. The material is not limited and may be a resin or a metal, but a material having high heat dissipation is preferable. When metal is used, the metal layer 104 is not necessarily provided.
2A and 2B are a sectional view and a top view of the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33, respectively. The first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 include a flange portion 500, a head portion 501a, and a leg portion 501b. In addition, you may change the shape of the 1st-3rd conductor posts 31-33 as needed. The length of the head 501a and the length of the leg 501b are preferably substantially the same, but are not limited thereto.
Furthermore, as shown to FIG. 2C, it is preferable that the surface 500s of the collar part 500 of the 1st-3rd conductor posts 31-33 and the surface 501s of the head part 501a or the leg part 501b are uneven surfaces. By doing so, the surface areas of the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 are increased, and the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 are connected to the first to third metal plates 11 to 31 as shown in FIG. 2D. 13 between the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 and the first to third metal plates 11 to 13 when the solder 25 is formed by being inserted into the thirteen holes 31a to 33a (through holes). Increases area. As a result, connection reliability can be improved.
Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 2E to 2G, it is desirable to form notches 501c in the head portions 501a and the leg portions 501b (each end portion) of the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33. It is effective not only for increasing the contact area but also for bleeding air during solder reflow.
You may change the diameter of the 1st-3rd conductor posts 31-33 according to the electrode to connect. For example, the diameter of the first conductor post 31 and the third conductor post 33 that are connected to the collector electrode 51, the emitter electrode 53, and the second conductor post that are connected to the gate electrode 52 that flows a relatively small current. Smaller than the diameter of 32 is preferable. This is because as the contact area between the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 and the semiconductor element 50 is smaller, cracks are less likely to occur, and thus connection reliability can be improved. Furthermore, the entire cross-sectional area of the first and third conductor posts 31 and 33 is larger than that of the second conductor post 32 connected to the gate electrode 52 (for example, by increasing the number) because a large current needs to flow. It is desirable to enlarge it. This is because the Joule resistance of the first and third conductor posts 31 and 33 can be kept small.
The directions in which the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 protrude from the first to third metal plates 11 to 13 (longitudinal directions of the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33) are parallel to each other. Is preferred. Moreover, it is preferable that the front end surfaces of the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 are also parallel to each other. By doing so, when the radiator 100 and the circuit board 10 are arranged in parallel, the surfaces of the semiconductor element 50 and the spacer 54 and the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 can be crossed at a right angle. Because it can. As a result, the first to third metal plates 11 to 13 can be connected to the semiconductor element 50 and the like without matching the directionality of the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 in the rotational direction.
The 1st-3rd metal plates 11-13 are connected to the conductor layer of the semiconductor element 50 and the heat radiator 100 through the 1st-3rd conductor posts 31-33. For this reason, even if the semiconductor module 1000 is exposed to a high temperature and exceeds the glass transition temperature of the resin used, the first to third metal plates 11 to 13 hold the components and the metal plate themselves stably. be able to. Further, unlike the resin substrate, the thermal deformation is not maintained (they remain deformed). In particular, the effect of stably holding can be exhibited in an environment such as an automobile or other transportation device to which vibration or impact is applied.
Hereinafter, a method for manufacturing the circuit board 10 will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the first to third metal plates 11 to 13 are arranged at predetermined positions of the mold jig 1031, and the first to third metal plates 11 are used by the mold jig 1032. Fix ~ 13. Next, as shown in FIG. 3C, the fixing resin 21 is poured from an injection port (not shown) provided in the mold jig 1031 or 1032. Next, as shown in FIG. 3D, after heating and curing, the mold jigs 1031 and 1032 are removed, and holes 31a, 32a and 33a (for inserting the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 at predetermined positions). Only holes 32a and 33a are shown).
Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. 3E to 3G, the first to third conductor posts are respectively formed on the first to third metal plates 11 to 13 using the first jig 1011 and the second jig 1012. 31 to 33 are inserted.
As shown in FIG. 3E, a first jig 1011 and a second jig 1012 are prepared. The first jig 1011 has a hole 1011a having a diameter equal to or slightly larger than the shaft diameter of the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33. The holes 1011a are formed corresponding to positions where the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 are inserted. The 2nd jig | tool 1012 is a jig | tool for accommodating the collar part 500 (FIG. 2A) of the 1st-3rd conductor posts 31-33 in the hole 1012a. As shown in FIG. 3F, by vibrating the first jigs 1011 and 1012, the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 (only the second and third conductor posts 32 and 33 are shown) are formed in the holes 1011a. Insert.
3G, after the second jig 1012 is removed, the first to third metal plates 11 to 13 fixed by the fixing resin 21 are held using the holding jig 1013 as shown in FIG. 3H. Press and press. Thereby, the 1st-3rd conductor posts 31-33 are inserted in the hole formed in each of the 1st-3rd metal plates 11-13 (press fit insertion). As a result, both are fitted.
Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 3I, ball-shaped solder 25 (solder balls) is mounted on the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 using the solder mask 1014. As the solder mask, a thin plate material perforated at a position corresponding to the conductor post can be used. The solder balls are, for example, Sn-Cu, Bi-Sn, Sn-Pb, Zn-Al, or Sn-Zn solders that are ball-shaped, depending on the required amount of solder. The size can be selected from several tens of μm to about 1 mm. Then, after removing the solder mask, the solder 25 is melted by reflowing at 200 to 250 ° C., for example, and enters the gaps between the holes 31a, 32a, and 33a (FIG. 2D). As a result, the first to third metal plates 11 to 13 and the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 are firmly connected. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 3J, a reinforcing resin 22 is formed on the entire surface of the metal plates 11 to 13 including the solder 25. Thus, the circuit board 10 is completed.
Next, a method for manufacturing the radiator 100 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 4A, a substrate 100a made of ceramic is prepared. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 4B, the first underlayer 102a made of titanium (Ti) having a thickness of 0.1 μm is formed on both surfaces of the substrate 100a by, for example, Ar plasma, DG 4 to 5 kW, and sputtering for 5 to 15 minutes. And a second underlayer 102b made of copper having a thickness of 1.0 μm. Thereby, the base layer 102 composed of the first base layer 102a and the second base layer 102b is formed. The first and second base layers 102a and 102b are each formed as a solid pattern.
Next, as illustrated in FIG. 4C, an electrolytic plating film 104 c is formed on the entire surface of the base layer 102. Specifically, for example, using the substrate 100a as a cathode and the copper plate electrode as an anode, the substrate 100a is immersed in a copper sulfate solution, and electrolytic copper plating is performed at a current amount of 3 A / dm 2 for 30 minutes. Thereafter, an etching resist 1021a is formed at a predetermined position of the electrolytic plating film 104c. The etching resist forms a circuit pattern. As an etching resist, for example, a printing method in which acid-resistant ink is screen-printed, or the entire surface of the electrolytic plating film 104c is covered with a photosensitive agent, a dry film, etc., only the conductor pattern portion is exposed, development is fixed, You can use the photo method to leave.
Next, as shown in FIG. 4D, the metal plating layer 104a and the base layer 103 are formed by removing the electrolytic plating film 104c and the base layer 102 exposed from the etching resist 1021a by etching. As a result, the metal layer 104 including the metal layer 104a and the base layer 103 is completed. The underlayer 103 includes a first underlayer 103a and a second underlayer 103b, and is not a solid pattern but a circuit pattern. As the copper etching solution, a CuCl 2 solution can be used, and for etching Ti, a nitric acid solution (fluorine: nitric acid: water = 1: 1: 18) can be used. Thus, the heat radiator 100 is completed.
Finally, as shown in FIG. 5A (corresponding to the cross section of FIG. 1B) and FIG. 5B (corresponding to the cross section of FIG. 1C), the semiconductor element 50 and the spacer 54 mounted on the radiator 100 and the circuit board 10 are By mounting through the solders 52a to 54a, the semiconductor module 1000 of the present invention is completed. Solders 52a to 54a (FIGS. 1B to 1D) are used for the connection between the second and third conductor posts 32 and 33 and the semiconductor element 50 and the connection between the first conductor post 31 and the spacer 54. The solders 52a to 54a are, for example, Sn-Cu, Bi-Sn, Sn-Pb, Zn-Al, Sn-Zn, and the like in a bath in which solder is melted. It can be formed by dipping the tip of 33. Further, a solder layer may be formed on the semiconductor element 50 (gate electrode 52, emitter electrode 53) and the radiator 100 (spacer 54) by using the solder balls.
In addition, it is not limited to the said embodiment, For example, you may implement as changed as follows.
A plurality of semiconductor elements may be used. A plurality of different types of semiconductor elements may be used. For example, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, in addition to the IGBT element (semiconductor element 50), an FWD element 60 may be separately mounted in parallel between the emitter and collector of the IGBT element. Similar to the semiconductor element 50, the upper surface of the FWD element 60 is electrically connected to the first to third metal plates 11 to 13 via the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33. By disposing the FWD element 60 in parallel with the IGBT element, noise (reverse current) generated by switching of the IGBT element can be reduced.
6A and 6B, the FWD element 60 has the electrode 61 on the first surface and the electrode 62 on the second surface opposite to the first surface. The FWD element 60 is mounted on the metal layer 104 formed on the radiator 100. The electrode 61 is electrically connected to the third metal plate 13 through the third conductor post 33. The electrode 62 is electrically connected to the first metal plate 11 through the metal layer 104 and the first conductor post 31.
As shown in FIG. 7A, the holes 31 a, 32 a, 33 a (only the holes 32 a, 33 a are shown) may be bottomed holes that do not penetrate the fixing resin 21. In this case, the fixing resin 21 can also play the role of the reinforcing resin 22, and the number of steps can be reduced, and the solder 25 (shown in FIGS. 1B and 1C) can be prevented from being peeled off to maintain connection reliability. be able to.
Holes 31a, 32a, and 33a (described in FIG. 2D) for inserting the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 formed in the first to third metal plates 11 to 13 are shown in FIG. 7B. Alternatively, it may be a bottomed hole that exposes the first to third metal plates 11 to 13 (only the second and third metal plates 12 and 13 are shown). Then, the conductor posts 32T and 33T having a T-shaped cross section may be connected to the bottomed hole. By doing in this way, the inclination of the 1st-3rd conductor posts 31-33 can be suppressed, and it can electrically connect with the 1st-3rd metal plates 11-13 more reliably.
As shown in FIG. 7C, instead of the second metal plate 12, the second metal whose thickness is covered by the fixing resin 21 and the reinforcing resin 22 is substantially the same as that of the first and third metal plates 11 and 13. A plate 12b may be used. By doing so, the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 are surely formed on substantially the same plane, and the contact area between the second conductor post 32 and the second metal plate 12b can be increased. . As a result, connection reliability is improved. Further, the thickness of the portion of the second metal plate 12b that is not covered with the fixing resin 21 and the reinforcing resin 22 is made thinner than the first and third metal plates 11 and 13, so that the second metal plate 12b is flexible. It is possible to improve the mountability.
You may form the 1st-3rd conductor posts 31-33 with the same material as the 1st-3rd metal plates 11-13 by processing a metal plate. For example, as shown in FIG. 7D, the second and third metal plates 12c and 13b may be processed to form the second and third conductor posts 32P and 33P with the same material. By doing so, it is not necessary to perform a process such as a process of forming an insertion hole in each metal plate and a process of inserting a conductor post, and therefore the number of processes can be reduced.
You may make all the thickness of the 1st-3rd metal plates 11-13 the same. For example, as shown in FIG. 7E, a second metal plate 12d may be used instead of the second metal plate 12. By doing so, the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 can be surely formed on substantially the same plane, and the contact area between the second conductor post 32 and the second metal plate 12d is greatly connected. Reliability is improved. Furthermore, since the fixing resin 21 can also be formed with a substantially uniform thickness, cracks and breaks in thermal expansion can be prevented.
For example, as shown in FIG. 7F, the thickness of the fixing resin 21 provided on the lower surface of the second metal plate 12 may be adjusted so as to be substantially the same as the first and third metal plates 11 and 13. . That is, in this case, the fixing resin 21 is not coated on the first and third metal plates 11 and 13. After that, as shown in FIG. 7G, the second metal plate 12 is connected with the fixing resin 21, the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 are inserted, and the upper and lower surfaces are covered with the reinforcing resin 22 to fix them. May be. By doing so, the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 are surely formed on substantially the same plane, and the flange portion 500 (FIG. 2A) of each of the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 and each metal plate. Can be reliably contacted. As a result, connection reliability is improved. Furthermore, since the reinforcing resin 22 can be formed on the upper and lower surfaces, the strength is improved.
The shapes of the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 are not limited to those shown in FIGS. 2A to 2G and are arbitrary. For example, the shape of the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 may be a polygonal column shape. Further, the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 may have different shapes. However, manufacture becomes easy by making the 1st-3rd conductor posts 31-33 into the same shape.
When the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 have different shapes, the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 are set on a jig by a method as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, for example. Is done.
As shown in FIG. 8A, the through holes into which the first and second conductor posts 31 and 32 other than the third conductor post 33 are to be inserted are closed using the second jig 1015, and the third holes After the conductor post 33 is erected on the first jig 1011, the second conductor post 32 is preferably erected on the first jig 1011 using a third jig 1016 as shown in FIG. 8B. Moreover, you may stand up one by one, paying attention to the direction of the 1st-3rd conductor posts 31-33.
In the above embodiment, the material, size, and the like of each part can be arbitrarily changed. For example, the first to third metal plates 11 to 13 may have the same thickness. The fixing resin 21 and the reinforcing resin 22 may have different lengths and shapes. Moreover, the material of the 1st-3rd conductor posts 31-33 is arbitrary if it is a conductor. For example, a metal other than copper may be used.
With respect to other points as well, the configuration (components, dimensions, material, shape, number of layers, arrangement, etc.) of the circuit board 10, the semiconductor element 50, the radiator 100, etc. is arbitrary within the scope of the present invention. Can be changed.
The circuit board 10 may be manufactured by a method shown in FIG. 9A, for example, without using the mold jigs 1031 and 1032 (FIGS. 3A to 3C).
As shown in FIG. 9A, first, a release paper 1002 and a reinforcing resin 21a are sequentially laminated on the lower jig 1001. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 9B, the first and third metal plates 11 and 13 (only the third metal plate 13 is shown) are laminated on the reinforcing resin 21a. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 9C, a reinforcing resin layer 21b is laminated between the first metal plate 11 and the third metal plate 13 (see FIG. 1A). Next, as shown in FIG. 9D, a spacer 1003 for height adjustment is arranged, and the second metal plate 12 is laminated at a predetermined position. And as shown to FIG. 9E, the release paper 1004 is laminated | stacked on it, and a heat press is performed. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 9F, the lower jig 1001 and the release papers 1002 and 1004 are removed. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 9G, an opening 1012b for contacting the flanges of the first to third conductor posts 31 to 33 is formed by laser irradiation or counterboring. Then, holes 31a, 32a, 33a (described in FIG. 2D) for inserting conductor posts are formed. Thereafter, through the conductor post insertion step described above, the circuit board 10 is completed as shown in FIG. 9H.
As for the first metal plate 11 and the third metal plate 13, as shown in FIG. 10, a metal plate 14 in which the first metal plate 11 and the third metal plate 13 are integrated is used. After the resin is fixed, the first metal plate 11 and the third metal plate 13 may be separated from each other by cutting along the BB ′ section.
The embodiment of the present invention has been described above. However, various modifications and combinations required for design reasons and other factors are not limited to the invention described in the “claims” or the “mode for carrying out the invention”. It should be understood that it is included in the scope of the invention corresponding to the specific examples described in the above.
