Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a semiconductor for electric power used in electric vehicles and so on, in particular to a structure of a main circuit terminal which is outwardly introduced.

2. Discussion of Background

A semiconductor device for electric power as an intelligent power module (IPM) used to control to drive an electric vehicle is required to have a small size, compactness, a long-lifetime under severe circumstances in terms of temperature, vibration, and so on, and high reliability. A conventional semiconductor device for electric power will be described in reference of FIGS. 11 through 14 .

In FIGS. 11 and 12 , numerical reference 1 designates a resin case; numerical reference 2 designates a main circuit terminal inserted in the resin case 1 ; numerical reference 2 a designates an end of the main circuit terminal connecting to an outside and exposed on an outer surface of the resin case 1 ; and numerical reference 2 b designates an end of the main circuit terminal 2 connected to an inside and exposed to an inner surface of the resin case 1 . The main circuit terminal 2 is bent at substantially right angles so that a part of the end 2 a of the main circuit terminal 2 on the side of connecting to the outside is in parallel to an outwardly exposed resin surface 1 a of the resin case 1 . Further, numerical reference 3 designates a metallic base plate forming a bottom portion of the resin case 1 ; numerical reference 4 designates a cover made of a resin; numerical reference 5 designates a connector for a signal circuit, which connector is mounted on a control board 11 , described below; and numerical reference 6 designates a signal circuit terminal located in the control board 11 . References (P) and (N), affixed to the end 2 a of the main circuit terminal 2 for outwardly connecting, respectively designate an input of a positive electricity and an input of a negative electricity. References (U), (V), and (W) designate three phases, i.e. a U-phase, a V-phase, and a W-phase.

Numerical reference 7 designates a nut. The nut 7 is inserted in a hexagonal hole 1 b previously formed at time of molding to receive the nut and covered by the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side. The insulating substrate 8 is mounted on the metallic base plate 3 forming a bottom portion of the resin case 1 , a semiconductor element for electric power 9 is mounted on the insulating substrate 8 , and the end 2 b of the main circuit terminal 2 on the inwardly connecting side is connected to the semiconductor element for electric power 9 by an aluminum wire 10 . Numerical reference 11 designates the control board, on which the connector 5 for the signal circuit is mounted. On the control board, controlling parts 12 are mounted, and the controlling parts 12 are connected to the semiconductor element for electric power 9 through a relay terminal for signal 13 . The insulating substrate 8 , the semiconductor element for electric power 9 , and so on are sealed by a gel-like sealing resin 14 .

In the following discussion, in reference of FIG. 13 , details of a structure of the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side in the main circuit terminal 2 and a method of assembling the same will be described. In FIG. 13 , after embedding the nut 7 in the hole 1 b formed in the resin case 1 , the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side is bent at substantially right angles in a bending portion 2 e so that the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side covers the nut 7 , whereby an outer surface 2 c and an inner surface 2 d of the end 2 a are substantially parallel with a resin surface 1 a of the resin case 1 . As a result, the inner surface 2 d is positioned on a plane substantially the same as the resin surface 1 a. However, there is a small gap between the inner surface 2 d and the resin surface 1 a. The hole 1 b is formed to be larger than the dimensions of the nut 7 in consideration of the capability of assembling the hole 1 b and the nut 7 , wherein there is a gap G between inner wall surfaces of the hole 1 b and the nut 7 embedded in the hole 1 b.

A busbar (not shown) being a conductor for outwardly connecting is in contact with the outer surface 2 c of the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side, the bolt is screwed to the nut 7 through a hole 2 f for a bolt in the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side to fix the busbar (not shown) to the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side. The bolt can be tightened with a relatively large torque for example, 12N-m and so on with respect to a bolt size M6. When mounted on a vehicle, oscillation by a relatively large acceleration, for example 20 G, is applied to the resin case 1 .

The conventional semiconductor device for electric power was constructed as described above. Therefore, when the nut 7 was tightened with a large torque, because there was the gap G between the nut and the hole 1 b formed in the resin case 1 around the nut 7 , a corner of the nut 7 was in contact with a wall surface of the hole 1 b so as to cause high stress, and therefore the resin case 1 was destroyed. Further, the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side was supported by the bending portion 2 e, being an extension of the bending portion 2 e, there was a problem that the bending portion 2 e was deformed by buckling a large torque. Further, there was a problem that the main circuit terminal was broken at the bending portion 2 e by a fatigue failure caused by vibration occurred by a large acceleration applied for a long time.

As a countermeasure to the above-mentioned problems, proposed was the use of a nut 7 molded integrally with a resin case 1 so that a contact surface between an end 2 a on an outwardly connecting side and that an inner surface 2 d was exposed to avoid a clearance between the nut 7 , and the molded resin. In this proposal, however, although a problem that the resin case 1 was broken could be solved, since a tip of the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side was exposed from a bending portion 2 e, the above-mentioned buckling problem and breaking problem of the bending portion 2 e caused by a fatigue failure could not be solved.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

A detailed explanation will now be given of preferred embodiments of the present invention in reference to FIGS. 1 through 10 as follows, wherein the same numerical references are used for the same or similar portions and description of these portions is omitted.

The semiconductor device for electric power according to Embodiment 1 will be described in reference of FIGS. 1 through 4 . In the figures, numerical references which are the same as those in the conventional technique designate portions which are the same as or similar to those in the conventional technique. In FIGS. 1 and 2 , numerical reference 1 designates a resin case; numerical reference 2 designates a main circuit terminal inserted in the resin case 1 ; numerical reference 2 a designates an end of the main circuit terminal 2 on an outwardly connecting side, the end being exposed to an outer surface of the resin case 1 ; and numerical reference 2 b designates an end of the main circuit terminal 2 on an inwardly connecting side, the end being exposed to an inner surface of the resin case 1 . An outer surface 2 c of the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side and an outwardly exposed resin surface 1 a of the resin case 1 are arranged on the same plane. The end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side is bent at substantially right angles so that an inner surface 2 d of the end 2 a sinks and extends into the resin surface 1 a. Further, numerical reference 3 designates a metallic base plate forming a bottom portion of the resin case 1 ; numerical reference 4 designates a cover made of a resin; numerical reference 5 designates a connector for a signal circuit mounted on a control board 11 described below; and numerical reference 6 designates a signal circuit terminal 6 located in the signal circuit connector 5 . References (P) and (N), affixed to the end 2 a of the main circuit terminal 2 on the outwardly connecting side respectively designate an input of positive electricity and an input of negative electricity. References (U), (V), and (W), affixed to the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side in FIG. 1 respectively designate outputs from three phases, i.e. a U-phase, a V-phase, and a W-phase.

Numerical reference 7 designates a flange nut inserted along with the main circuit terminal 2 into the resin case 1 , wherein the flange nut has a flange 7 a, the flange 7 a is in contact with the inner surface 2 d of the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side, and the flange nut is sealed by a resin in a state that the flange nut is covered by the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side.

An insulating substrate 8 is mounted on the metallic base plate 3 forming the bottom portion of the resin case 1 . A semiconductor element 9 for electric power is mounted on the insulating substrate 8 . The end 2 b of the main circuit terminal 2 on the inwardly connecting side is connected to the semiconductor element 9 for electric power by an aluminum wire 10 . Further, numerical reference 11 designates the control board, on which the connector for signal circuit 5 is mounted. On the control board, controlling parts 12 are mounted, and the control board is connected to the semiconductor element 9 for electric power through a relay terminal 13 for a signal. The insulating substrate 8 , the semiconductor element 9 for electric power, and so on are sealed by the sealing resin 14 in a gel-like form.

In the next discussion, details of a structure of the end 2 a of the main circuit terminal 2 on the outwardly connecting side and a method of assembling will be described in reference of FIG. 3 . In FIG. 3 , the outer surface 2 c of the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side and the outwardly exposing resin surface 1 a of the resin case 1 are arranged on the same plane, and the main circuit terminal 2 is bent at substantially right angles at a bending portion 2 e so that the inner surface 2 d sinks into and is embedded within the resin surface 1 a. Namely, the main circuit terminal 2 is bent at substantially right angles at the bending portion 2 e, plated, and thereafter inserted in the resin case 1 , wherein the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side other than the outer surface 2 c sinks into the resin. Numerical reference 2 f designates a hole for inserting a bolt 16 , described below, which hole is formed in the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side.

Further, the flange nut 7 is inserted in the resin case 1 together with the main circuit terminal 2 in a state such that the flange 7 a is in contact with the inner surface 2 d of the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side, and sealed by the resin so that the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side covers the flange nut 7 .

When the semiconductor device is practically used, as illustrated in FIG. 4 , a busbar as an outwardly connecting conductor 2 a is in contact with the outer surface 2 c of the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side, the bolt 16 is screwed to the flange nut 7 through the bolt hole 2 f of the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side, and the busbar 15 is fixed to the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side. Meanwhile, the bolt 16 is tightened with a relatively large torque such as 12 N-m with respect to a bolt size of M6. When the semiconductor device is mounted on a vehicle, oscillation resulting from a relatively large acceleration such as 20 G is applied to the resin case 1 .

However, because the flange nut 7 and the resin case 1 are monolithically molded, there is no clearance between the nut and the molding resin. Therefore, when the bolt is tightened with large torque, there is no danger that high stress occurs at the resin surface by a contact of a corner of the flange nut 7 with the resin surface, whereby the resin case 1 is not destroyed. Further, the outer surface 2 c of the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side and the outer resin surface 1 a of the resin case 1 are at the same level, and a surface other than the outer surface 2 c of the end on the outwardly connecting side being in contact with the busbar 15 sinks into the resin case 1 and fixed thereto. Therefore, the bending portion 2 e for supporting the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side is not easily buckled and deformed by the above-mentioned large torque, whereby there is no danger that the bending portion 2 e is broken by a fatigue failure caused by the oscillation by the above large acceleration.

Because the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side and the resin case 1 are monolithically molded, accuracy in finishing is high and a process of bending after the molding is not necessitated, whereby the cost thereof becomes low. Also, because the outer surface 2 c of the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side and the resin surface 1 a around the outer surface 2 c are in the same planes, a shape of a die (not shown) is simplified, whereby the machining costs of the die can be reduced.

Further, because the flange nut 7 is used instead of an ordinary nut (not shown), and the flange 7 a is in contact with the inner surface 2 d of the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side, the outer surface 2 c is pushed onto an inner surface of the die by the flange nut 7 in contact with the inner surface 2 d of the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side. At this time, the flange 7 a having a relatively wide contact surface is directly in contact with the inner surface 2 d with pressure, the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side is not deformed by a pressure of the resin applied at time of monolithically molding, whereby a burr of the resin is not adhered to the outer surface 2 c.

Embodiment 2

The semiconductor device for electric power according to Embodiment 2 has a structure different from that of Embodiment 1 illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 4 at points that the bending portion 2 e of the end 2 a of the main circuit terminal 2 on the outwardly connecting side is processed to have a radius of 2 mm or more, i.e. R 2 , on the outer surface as illustrated in FIG. 5 . The other features of the structure are the same.

Since the bending portion 2 e of the end 2 a of the main circuit terminal 2 on the outwardly connecting side is bent to have a relatively large radius, a plating layer (not shown) is formed on the main circuit terminal 2 , and thereafter the main circuit terminal and the resin case 1 are monolithically molded, it is possible to prevent a minute crack from occurring in the bending portion 2 e, which is easily broken in the conventional technique, it is possible to prevent a minute crack from occurring in the plating layer, corrosion resistance is excellent, and reliability becomes high so as to bear oscillation by a large acceleration for a long time.

Embodiment 3

The semiconductor device for electric power according to Embodiment 3 has a structure different from that of Embodiment 1 illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 4 such that anchors 2 g are formed by bending protrusions on both sides of an end 2 a on an outwardly connecting side toward an inside of a resin case, and the anchors 2 g are embedded in a resin of the resin case 1 as illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7 . The other features of the structures are the same.

Because the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side has the anchors 2 g embedded in the resin of the resin case 1 and is firmly fixed to the resin case 1 by an effect of anchoring, a bending portion 2 e supporting the end 2 a of the outwardly connecting side is not easily buckled and deformed by relatively large torque, whereby strength against tightening by the large torque is excellent, the main circuit terminal is not broken by a fatigue failure caused by an oscillation by a large acceleration, and reliability becomes high.

Embodiment 4

The semiconductor device for electric power according to Embodiment 4 has a structure different from that of Embodiment 1 illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 4 such that a step 2 h is formed in an outer peripheral edge of an end 2 a on an outwardly connecting side as illustrated in FIG. 8 . The other features of the structures are the same.

Because a molding resin wraps the step 2 h and reaches a recess formed in the step 2 h, and the recess is covered by the resin, it is possible to prevent the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side from floating, strength against tightening by large torque is excellent, and there is no danger that the main circuit terminal is broken by a fatigue failure caused by an oscillation by a large acceleration, whereby reliability becomes high.

In the semiconductor device for electric power according to Embodiment 4 illustrated in FIG. 8 , although the step 2 h is formed on a side of the outer surface 2 c of the outer peripheral edge in the end 2 a of the main circuit terminal 2 on the outwardly connecting side, a surface which is C-shaped or a slanted surface may be formed instead of the step 2 h, wherein the molding resin wraps and reaches these surfaces to cover the C-shaped surface or the slanted surface, whereby effects similar to those described above are obtainable.

Embodiment 5

The semiconductor device for electric power according to Embodiment 5 has a structure different from that described in Embodiment 1 illustrated in Figures through 4 such that a resin protrusion 1 c protruding higher than an outer surface 2 c covers both sides of the outer surface 2 c of an end 2 a on an outwardly connecting side, which both sides are in perpendicular with the bending portion 2 e, as illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10 . The other features of the structures are the same.

Because the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side is secured by the resin protrusion 1 c protruding more than the outer surface 2 c, it is possible to prevent the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side from floating, strength against tightening by a large torque is excellent, and the semiconductor device can bear an oscillation by a large acceleration. Further, the resin protrusion 1 c works as an insulating barrier between adjacent main circuit terminals 2 , for example, a positive terminal 2 a (P) and a negative terminal 2 a (N). Accordingly, it is possible to make the distance between the adjacent main circuit terminals 2 closer while keeping a requisite insulation distance, the inductance can be reduced, and the resin case can be made small and compact.

As described, the semiconductor device for electric power according to Embodiment 1 through 5 illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 10 can be produced with a high accuracy of finishing because the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side and the resin case 1 are monolithically molded and also can be produced at a low cost because the process of bending after molding is unnecessitated.

Further, except for Embodiment 5, because the resin surface 1 a of the resin case 1 and the outer surface 2 c of the end on the outwardly connecting side are on the same planes, an inner surface of the die is relatively simplified, and a machining cost of the die is reduced. Although, in Embodiment 5, the resin protrusion 1 c protruding more than the outer surface 2 c of the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side exists, accuracy of the elected resin of the resin protrusion 1 c is not required, it is possible to reduce the machining cost of the die in a manner similar to the above.

In the semiconductor devices for electric power according to Embodiments 1 through 5 illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 10 , the flange nut 7 is used as the nut inserted in the resin case 1 together with the main circuit terminal 2 , and the flange 7 a is in contact with the inner surface 2 d of the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side. However, the nut is not limited to the flange nut 7 , and an ordinary nut (not shown) may be used to obtain effects to that in the flange nut as long as the thickness of the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side is sufficiently thick, and there is no danger that a burr of the resin is not formed on the outer surface 2 c by a deformation of the end 2 a on the outwardly connecting side by a pressure of the resin applied at time of molding the resin case 1 .

Further the semiconductor devices for electric power according to Embodiments 1 through 5 illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 10 have the resin case 1 . However, the semiconductor devices are not limited to that having the resin case 1 , and the resin case 1 may be omitted by transfer-molding the insulating substrate on the metallic base, the semiconductor element for electric power mounted on the insulating substrate, the main circuit terminal, the controlling parts, the relay terminal for signal, and so on so as to be monolithic, whereby effects similar to those described above are obtainable.

The first advantage of the semiconductor device for electric power has high reliability to bear tightening with large torque, and the machining cost of the die can be reduced because a shape of the die is simple.

The second advantage of the semiconductor device for electric power according to the present invention is that the semiconductor device for electric power having high accuracy is obtainable at a low cost because the main circuit terminal is molded together with the resin case and no bending process is necessitated after molding.

The third advantage of the semiconductor device for electric power according to the present invention is that the end on the outwardly connecting side is not deformed by a molding pressure, and it is possible to prevent a resin burr from being produced on the outer side surface of the end.

The fourth advantage of the semiconductor device for electric power according to the present invention is that it is possible to prevent a minute crack from occurring in the bending portion and the plated portion thereon, and the semiconductor device for electric power has high reliability to withstand oscillation due to a large acceleration for a long time.

The fifth advantage of the semiconductor device for electric power according to the present invention is that the end on the outwardly connecting side is firmly fixed, strength against tightening with large torque is excellent, and it is possible to bear oscillation generated by a large acceleration.

The sixth advantage of the semiconductor device for electric power according to the present invention is that it is possible to prevent the end on the outwardly connecting side from floating, strength against tightening with large torque is excellent, it is possible to bear oscillation by a large acceleration, the insulating distance between the main terminals is maintained, and the semiconductor device has a small size and compactness.
