INSULATED POWER SEMICONDUCTOR MODULE WITH REDUCED PARTIAL DISCHARGE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD

摘要

A method for assembling a power semiconductor module with reduced partial discharge behavior is described. The method comprises the steps of bonding an insulating substrate (2) onto a bottom plate (11); disposing a first conductive layer (4) on 5 a portion of said insulating substrate (2), so that at least one peripheral top region of said insulating substrate (2) remains uncovered by the first conductive layer (4); bonding a semiconductor chip (6) onto said first conductive layer (4); disposing a precursor (51) of a first insulating material (5) in a first corner (24) formed by said first conductive layer (4) and said peripheral region of said insulating substrate (2); po- 10 lymerizing the precursor (51) of the first insulating material (5) to form the first insulating material (5); and covering said semiconductor chip (6), said substrate (2), said first conductive layer (4), and said first insulating material (5) at least partially with a second insulating material. According to the invention, the precursor (51) of the first insulating material is a low viscosity monomer or oligomer, preferably a polyimide. 15 Also disclosed is a semiconductor module with reduced partial discharge behavior.
