Definitions
- the present invention relates to a power converter, and more particularly to a power converter having a function of cutting off a short-circuit current when a component is short-circuited.
- Such a vehicle has an inverter device for driving a motor.
- the motor drive inverter device supplies high-voltage drive power to a motor drive circuit using a battery as a power source.
- a resin-sealed power semiconductor device is used for an inverter device for driving a motor.
- resin-encapsulated semiconductor devices are becoming increasingly important as key devices.
- a power semiconductor element is resin-sealed together with other components.
- a resin-encapsulated semiconductor device when power is supplied from a battery, a short circuit failure occurs in a power semiconductor element or a short circuit failure occurs in a snubber circuit electronic component such as a smoothing capacitor. Current flows. More specifically, for example, when the upper and lower arms of the inverter are short-circuited due to a malfunction of the gate drive circuit in the inverter control circuit, an overcurrent flows through the power semiconductor element, causing a short-circuit failure.
- the resin-encapsulated semiconductor device emits smoke and fires due to a large current. Moreover, it is conceivable that the battery connected to the inverter device is damaged due to an overcurrent exceeding the rating. In order to avoid such a situation, usually, a sensor that detects an excessive current is used to control the switching element at a high speed when the excessive current flows to interrupt the current. However, in order to prevent failures such as smoke as described above more reliably, it is also beneficial to take further measures to cope with unexpected situations.

- the conventional semiconductor device described in Patent Document 1 has the following problems.
- the semiconductor device described in Patent Document 1 when the semiconductor device described in Patent Document 1 is mounted on a semiconductor module, power leads of the semiconductor device are soldered to bus bars of the semiconductor module. At this time, if an overcurrent flows through the power lead, the fuse portion provided in the power lead is torn. In this way, the overcurrent can be temporarily interrupted, but the torn fuse portion may be melted at a higher temperature and may be in electrical contact with a solder joint or the like. In that case, there existed a subject that the fuse part did not play the role as a fuse function. Further, in Patent Document 1, since the fuse portion is provided outside the semiconductor module, the mounting area of components is increased and the semiconductor device is enlarged.
- the conventional semiconductor device described in Patent Document 2 has the following problems.
- the sealing resin is broken by a spring force to separate the main circuit wiring from the semiconductor element. Therefore, since a member and a mounting area for securing the spring force are necessary, the semiconductor device is increased in size.
- the joint since a force is constantly applied to the joint between the semiconductor element and the main circuit wiring due to the spring force, the joint may be damaged, and it is difficult to ensure long-term reliability.

- the fuse portion is formed in the wiring member, and the thickness of the mold resin provided on the upper side of the fuse portion is reduced, so that when the overcurrent flows, the fuse portion is blown together with the broken fuse portion. Since the mold resin on the upper side of the part pops off, the overcurrent can be reliably interrupted with a simple configuration.

- FIG. 4 is a top view of the high-current wiring member 15a.
- the fuse portion 16 is formed by providing a notch portion 33 in the energization path excluding the joint portion of the large current wiring member 15a.
- the notch 33 is configured by a round hole.
- the fuse part 16 is formed by forming a round hole as the notch 33 in the metal plate constituting the large current wiring member 15a. Is done.
- the fuse part 16 is comprised from a part of large current wiring member 15a. Accordingly, the fuse portion 16 is produced by being integrated with the high current wiring member 15a using the same material. Therefore, it is not necessary to add a new fuse member. Therefore, the number of parts is not added and the cost is not increased.
- the cross-sectional area of the fuse portion 16 is smaller than the other portion of the large current wiring member 15a by the notch portion 33. Therefore, as indicated by the thick arrow C2 in FIG. 5, the current density is locally increased only in the fuse portion 16 as compared with the current C1 flowing in other portions. As a result, when a current flows through the large current wiring member 15a, the temperature of the fuse portion 16 only rises locally due to deterioration in heat dissipation and increase in heat generation density.
- the temperature of the fuse part 16 rises rapidly in a short time.
- the fuse portion 16 is broken by heat and flies away.
- the fuse portion 16 blows away the mold resin 20 in the area R2 where the thickness of the mold resin 20 is thin to the upper surface side, and the fuse portion 16 bounces off the outside of the mold resin 20, whereby the large current wiring member 15a.
- the fuse portion 16 can be separated from each other, thereby preventing the large current wiring member 15a and the fuse portion 16 from coming into contact with each other and energizing again.
- the fuse portion 16 is likely to jump to the outside of the mold resin 20, the separation distance of the tearing portion of the high current wiring member 15 a can be increased, and the overcurrent flowing through the high current wiring member 15 a can be reliably cut off. it can.
- the mold resin 20 has an area R2 on the upper surface side of the wiring member 15 thinner than the area R1 on the lower surface side. Therefore, when the fuse part 16 is torn, the mold resin 20 on the upper surface side together with the fuse part 16 is a power conversion module. Blow away toward the outside of 100. As in the conventional semiconductor device, if the fuse portion 16 is not blown away and remains in the power conversion module 100, the metal of the torn fuse portion 16 is melted by heat, and the lead frame 13 or The semiconductor element 14 is electrically connected, and as a result, the current flows again.
- the mold resin 20 on the upper side of the fuse portion 16 is thinned, and the fuse portion 16 is blown off together with the mold resin 20 so that the current flows again due to the adhesion of the melted fuse portion 16. It can be prevented from flowing. Furthermore, in a low withstand voltage system using a 12V battery for automobiles, when a large current flows, the battery voltage drops to below 10V, so that no arc is generated when the fuse portion 16 is broken, and the structure can be further simplified. Further, the power conversion device can be further reduced in size and cost.
- the cross-sectional area of the fuse portion 16 is reduced by making a round hole in the metal plate, but the cross-sectional area of the fuse portion 16 can also be reduced by locally reducing the thickness of the metal plate by pressing or the like. Needless to say, similar effects can be obtained. Further, the fuse portion 16 may be formed by combining the formation of the round hole and the reduction of the thickness.
- FIG. 6 shows a temperature distribution when a current is passed through the large current wiring member 15a.
- FIG. 6 is a temperature distribution of the large current wiring member 15a when an excessive current flows through the large current wiring member 15a shown in FIG. 4 and the fuse portion 16 reaches the melting point.
- the fuse portion 16 As shown in FIG. 6, in the large current wiring member 15a, only the fuse portion 16 is locally heated, but at this time, there is a temperature gradient toward the joint at both ends of the large current wiring member 15a. I understand that. Therefore, even if the fuse part 16 is torn, the joint part is not destroyed. Further, by changing the size of the round hole constituting the notch 33, it is possible to adjust the current when the melting point is reached and the time until the melting point 16 is reached when the melting point is reached.
- the fuse portion 16 is formed by providing the cutout portion 33 in the large current wiring member 15a used in the power conversion module 100 to locally reduce the cross-sectional area.
- the fuse portion 16 since a part of the large current wiring member 15a is used as the fuse portion 16, it is not necessary to newly add a fuse member. Therefore, the number of parts is not added and the number of mounting steps is not increased, so that productivity is high. In addition, the power converter is not increased in size.
- the thickness of the mold resin 20 is changed between the upper surface side and the lower surface side of the fuse portion 16 of the large current wiring member 15a, and the thickness of the mold resin 20 on the upper surface side is reduced.
- the separation distance of the tearing portion of the high current wiring member 15a can be increased, so that the high current wiring member 15a can be prevented from conducting again, and the overcurrent can be reliably cut off. can do. As a result, smoke and ignition of the power converter can be prevented.

- the second embodiment is basically based on the idea described in the first embodiment.
- the height of the large current wiring member 15a is compared with the height of the control wiring member 15b and other electronic components. Then, the height of the control wiring member 15b and other electronic components is higher than that of the large current wiring member 15a. Therefore, the mold resin 20 has a thickness corresponding to the height of the control wiring member 15b and other electronic components. As a result, there is a limit in reducing the thickness of the mold resin 20 provided on the upper side of the fuse portion 16, which is a design constraint for the fuse portion 16.
- the recess 24 is provided on the upper surface of the mold resin 20 in the area R2 provided on the upper side of the fuse portion 16 of the high current wiring member 15a.
- the position of the recessed portion 24 corresponds to the position of the fuse portion 16 so that it is just above the fuse portion 16. Thereby, the thickness of the mold resin 20 can be partially reduced, and the tall wiring member 15 and the electronic component can be used as they are.

- the temperature of the fuse portion 16 rapidly increases in a short time. Then, when the temperature reaches the melting point of the metal constituting the fuse part 16, the fuse part 16 is torn and flies off. At that time, together with the fuse part 16, the mold resin 20 in the area R2 on the upper side of the fuse part 16 is also simultaneously blown off. In this way, the overcurrent can be surely interrupted by blowing away the fuse portion 16 and the mold resin 20 on the upper side to gain a separation distance.

If it remains, the metal of the torn fuse portion 16 is melted and electrically contacts the lead frame 13, the semiconductor element 14, the control wiring member 15 b, etc. May flow. However, in the second embodiment, since the fuse portion 16 does not remain, it is possible to reliably prevent the current from flowing again.

- the sealing material 26 is made of a material having a thermal conductivity smaller than that of the mold resin 20. For example, if the thermal conductivity of the mold resin 20 is about 0.5 to several W / mK, the thermal conductivity of the sealing material 26 is preferably about 0.2 to 0.5 W / mK.
- the sealing material 26 is made of, for example, a silicone resin having a thermal conductivity in such a range.
- the heat dissipation of the fuse part 16 is deteriorated, and when an overcurrent flows through the fuse part 16, the temperature easily rises, and the fuse part 16. This has the effect of shortening the time until tearing. Furthermore, when the sealing material 26 is made of a silicone resin, an arc extinguishing action can be expected.

Therefore, regardless of the height of the control wiring member 15b and other electronic components, only the height of the mold resin 20 above the fuse portion 16 can be made thin independently. As a result, the choice of the shape of the fuse portion 16 is widened, and since a tall wiring member and electronic component can be used, the degree of design freedom can be increased. Further, since it is only necessary to provide the recess 24 in the mold resin 20, there is no additional number of parts and the number of mounting steps does not increase, so that productivity is high.
