In the power supply module 1a and the process flow I disclosed in Embodiment 1, no traditional welding point exists in the power supply module 1a, the switch assembly layer 20 and the magnetic assembly layer 10 are integrally pressed through an insulating material, the switch unit and the input capacitor both directly grow a metal wiring layer from the positions of the pins, the inductors L1 and L2 directly grow a metal wiring layer from the pin position, and the two metal wiring layers are fixedly connected through the first connecting layer 30. Therefore, in the embodiment, the welding layer which is used for fixing and electrically connecting the switch assembly layer 20 and the magnetic assembly layer 10 is not included in the embodiment. When the bottom surface of the power supply module 1a is welded with the system board, the welding high temperature does not cause remelting of welding spots or welding layers in the power supply module 1a, and a series of failure problems caused by remelting of welding spots in the power supply module 1a cannot be caused, and the failure problems comprise device displacement or cracks generated at the welding layer position and the like. In addition, as the power of the module becomes higher and higher, when the power supply module operates, the temperature generated by the internal device is increased, the temperature can reach 125-150° C., and the melting point of the solder is about 220° C., so that the reliability of the strength of the welding spot is reduced due to the internal temperature rise; and in the embodiment, the cross-layer electric interconnection structure is formed directly on the side surface of the module, internal welding spots are not needed, and the reliability of the cross-layer electric interconnection structure in the high-temperature working environment is also improved.


In addition, the metal interconnection layer extends from the top surface of the power supply module to the bottom surface of the power supply module through the side surface, and the metal interconnection layer is directly connected with the substrate layer of the switch unit through the metal wiring layer. Due to the fact that the loss proportion of the switch unit in the whole power supply module is large, the metal wiring layer directly and rapidly transmits the heat of the switch unit to the metal interconnection layer, the area of the metal interconnection layer is larger than the area of the switch unit, the heat conductivity in the horizontal direction is high, the heat flow area of the switch unit is effectively increased, and the thermal resistance in the vertical direction of the power supply module is reduced. In the embodiment, the thickness of the metal interconnection layer is greater than 200 μm, so that the upward thermal resistance of the power supply module can be further reduced. According to the power supply module formed by the process flow I, the production efficiency can be improved through parallel production; and through the integrated pressing and forming and metal interconnection layer process, the flatness of the bottom surface of the power supply module is good, and the yield of welding with the system board is improved.


Embodiment 2

Embodiment 3

In order to solve the requirement of load on large-current power supply, the current required by the load can reach about 1000A, and the power supply current of each power supply module is about 80A Therefore, the embodiment adopts a plurality of power supply modules to be connected in parallel. One application mode is to respectively weld a plurality of discrete power supply modules on the bottom surface of a system board; the other application mode is to integrate a plurality of power supply modules in an integrated module, and as shown in FIG. 6A, the six power supply modules 1 are integrated in one integrated module 4 as an example for description, but are not limited thereto. Side surfaces 106 of every two power supply modules 1 (such as power supply modules 1-1 and 1-4) are adjacently arranged to form a group of power supply modules, and the two adjacent power supply modules 1 share one group of signal electrical connectors 46; holes can also be drilled between a group of power supply modules, required signal electrical connectors 46 are formed through electroplating, and signals of each power supply module in one group of power supply modules are electrically connected with the corresponding signal electrical connectors. The two adjacent power supply modules are connected through the connection position 401, and the connection position 401 extends from the top surface 201 of the power supply module to the bottom surface 102 and can be formed by pressing an insulating material.


In the present embodiment, one power module 1 comprises nine signal electrical connectors (such as a signal electrical connector Sig1), and one integrated module 4 comprises six power modules 1-1 to 1-6, ie comprising 27 signal electrical connectors. When the integrated module 4 is fixedly and electrically connected with the system board, corresponding 27 signal bonding pads need to be arranged on the system board, and the wiring complexity in the system board is increased. In order to reduce the wiring complexity of the system board, in the signal area 460 on the bottom surface 102 of the power supply module shown in FIG. 6A, the insulating dielectric layer 461 is pressed again and electroplated, as shown in the inner hole 462 in FIG. 6B, the inner hole 462 is electrically connected with each signal electric connector Sig1, and then the surface of the insulating dielectric layer 461 is metalized to form the metallized wiring layer 463, so that the signal wiring layer 464 is electrically connected with each inner hole 462. Therefore, the wires corresponding to the signal electrical connectors Sig1 on the system board are gathered together and are electrically connected with the signal wiring layer 464. As shown in FIG. 6B, only the signal electrical connector Sig1 is taken as an example for description. Similarly, the other eight signal electrical connectors in each power supply module 1 can be electrically connected to the corresponding signal wiring layers by means of corresponding inner holes, thereby reducing the wiring complexity on the system board.


Furthermore, the bottom surface of the integrated module 4 can be completely laminated with one insulating dielectric layer, then drill and electroplate in the area of the metal interconnection layer on the bottom surface, and the corresponding metal wiring layer is formed through metallization, so that the gathering of the power pin routing is realized, and the wiring complexity on the system board is further reduced.


In the embodiment, because the integrated module 4 is integrally welded to the system board, the problem of flatness of the bottom surface of the integrated module 4 is solved, the welding difficulty with the system board is increased, and the power supply reliability is reduced. As shown in the side cross-sectional view shown in FIG. 6C, each welding ball in the ball grid array package (BGA) is electrically connected with the corresponding interconnection layer on the bottom surface of each power supply module 1, and is used for absorbing the tolerance of the flatness of the bottom surface of the integrated module 4. Furthermore, the welding ball 470 at the edge of the bottom surface of the integrated module 4 is a copper alloy ball coated with a tin layer, and at least four welding ball 470 are arranged in one integrated module and are respectively located at four corners of the integrated module. When the integrated module and the system board are assembled, firstly, the integrated module and the system board are mechanically locked, and then reflow soldering is carried out. Due to the fact that the welding ball 470 is arranged on the edge of the integrated module, when other welding balls are melted at high temperature, the whole integrated module is supported by the welding ball 470, welding collapse caused by overlarge or overweight of the integrated module is avoided, and the assembly failure efficiency is reduced.

On the basis of the power supply module 1b shown in FIG. 4, the first bonding layer 303 is added to the first connecting layer 30, as shown in FIG. 7B. The first bonding layer 303 is connected with the SW2 wiring layers 264 and 144, and the material for forming the first bonding layer comprises brazing filler metal, tin-silver alloy, tin-copper alloy, tin-silver-copper alloy, tin-antimony alloy, gold-tin alloy, high-lead solder, silver sintering slurry, copper sintering slurry, instantaneous liquid-phase sintering material or conductive slurry.

Furthermore, the second connection layer 60 may also include a second bonding layer 601, as shown in FIG. 7B.

The two current paths are connected in parallel, so that the transmission impedance on the current path can be reduced.

The copper foil 47 and the copper foil 48 cover part of the top surface, part of the side surface and part of the bottom surface of the inductors L1 and L2. The copper foils 47 and 48 may cover 50%-99% of the total area of the four side surfaces of the inductors L1 and L2, but are not limited thereto. As shown in FIG. 9B, the SW2 wiring layer 144 is electrically connected to the end surface of the first end 112a of the second winding 112 by means of the inner hole 121, and the SW2 wiring layer 144 extends to the SW2 interconnection layer 44 on the side surface of the power supply module 1d and is electrically connected to the SW2 interconnection layer 44. Similarly, the SW1 wiring layer 143 is also electrically connected to the first end surface of the first winding by means of the inner hole, and the SW1 wiring layer 143 extends to the SW1 interconnection layer 43 on the side surface of the power supply module 1d and is electrically connected to the SW1 interconnection layer 43.

The cross-sectional area S of the overlapping area between the copper foil 48 and the GND interconnection layer is S=L*d.
