It should be noted that the connecting element 104 may be a metal wire, a metal row or other connecting devices, and is not limited herein. The electrode may be the collector C, the gate G, or the emitter E of the power chip 200, without a one-to-one relationship.

In addition, when the collector C of the power chip 200 is connected to the substrate 100, an insulating liquid such as oil is required to be used as the cooling liquid, so as to avoid the short circuit problem of the cooling liquid circulation system. When the emitter E of the power chip 200 is connected to the substrate 100, it is conceivable to directly use water as the coolant of the coolant circulation system.

In the present embodiment, the power chip 200 and the substrate 100, the power chip 200 and the first section 1331 of the upper copper layer 133 of the double-sided copper-clad ceramic board 130 can be fixed by soldering, and the lower copper layer 131 of the double-sided copper-clad ceramic board 130 and the substrate 100 can be fixed by soldering, so as to form the illustrated solder layer 111.

It should be noted that equivalent substitutions of other materials exist in the above-mentioned upper copper layer 133, lower copper layer 131, copper connection layer 112, ceramic layer 132, and the like, and the materials used are not limited.

In some embodiments, the power module further includes a temperature sensor (not shown) mounted on the substrate 100 and connected to the controller of the cooling fluid circulation system. The temperature sensor is used for detecting the working temperature of the power chip 200 and/or the substrate 100 and sending the working temperature to the controller of the cooling liquid circulation system, so as to adjust the liquid inlet temperature, the flow rate or the pressure difference of the inlet liquid and the outlet liquid of the cooling liquid and other parameters under the control of the controller.

It can be understood that the power module realizes the real-time monitoring of the working temperature of the power chip 200 or the substrate 100 by arranging the temperature sensor, and adjusts the liquid inlet temperature, the flow rate or the pressure difference of inlet and outlet liquid of the cooling liquid under the control of the cooling liquid circulation system according to the normal working temperature range of the power chip 200, so as to adjust the actual working temperature of the power chip 200 to keep the power chip in the normal working state all the time.

In summary, the power module of the present invention has the following advantages over the prior art:

1. the liquid cooling system inside the substrate 100 can be cooled forcibly, and the heat dissipation capacity is N times of that of the traditional packaging heat conduction mode;

2. the working temperature of the power chip 200 can be effectively adjusted by controlling the water inlet temperature and the water inlet and outlet pressure of the cooling liquid circulating system, so that the power chip is kept in an efficient working temperature area;

3. the temperature difference among the power chip 200, the double-sided copper-clad ceramic plate 130, the substrate 100 and the like can be ensured in a reasonable range, and the internal stress among materials of all layers caused by temperature change, material thermal expansion coefficient difference and the like is reduced;

4. the junction temperature of the power chip 200 can be effectively controlled, the risk that the junction temperature is too high, the failure rate of a product is reduced, and the service life is influenced is eliminated;

5. the junction temperature of the power chip 200 is effectively controlled, and the bearing capacity of the power module system can be greatly improved.
