Abstract: A high-power semiconductor device module is implemented with a cavity in the molding package. The cavity reduces a volume of the molding compound, preventing an accumulation of stress in the module, and associated warpage of the package. Chip assemblies within the module are designed to fit within the cavity, so that semiconductor dies, and sensing devices therein are protected from damage during a sintering process in which the module is mounted to a heat sink. After the sintering process, the cavity can be sealed with a gel material. The molding package described herein can also enhance reliability of the module during operation, ensuring that the product is robust for electric and hybrid electric vehicle applications.

Abstract: A protective dam can relieve stress in a chip assembly of a high-power semiconductor device module used in electric vehicle or industrial applications. Some chip assemblies that incorporate copper spacers for thermal dissipation can cause the device module to become vulnerable to cracking. Adding a protective dam can absorb stress to prevent damage to materials surrounding the chip assembly. Various types of protective dams are presented, including high profile flexible protective dams, low profile flexible protective dams, metallic protective dams, and integral protective dams. The protective dams can be incorporated into a high-power semiconductor device module that features single sided or dual sided cooling via direct bond metal structures.

Abstract: A semiconductor device module may include a leadframe spacer that provides the functions of both a leadframe and a spacer, while enabling a double-sided cooling configuration. Such a leadframe spacer may include a leadframe surface that provides a die attach pad (DAP) that is shared by at least two semiconductor devices. The leadframe spacer may include at least one downset, where the semiconductor devices may be attached within a recess defined by the at least one downset. A first substrate may be connected to a first side of the leadframe. A second substrate may be connected to downset surfaces of the at least one downset, and positioned for further connection to the semiconductor devices in a double-sided assembly.

Abstract: A power module includes a spacer block, a thermally conductive substrate coupled to one side of the spacer block, and a semiconductor device die coupled to an opposite side of the spacer block. The spacer block includes a solid spacer block and an adjacent flexible spacer block. An inner portion of the device die is coupled to the solid spacer block, and an outer portion of the semiconductor device die is coupled to the adjacent flexible spacer block.
Claims 3 and 10 are objected to as being dependent upon a rejected base claim, but would be allowable if rewritten in independent form including all of the limitations of the base claim and any intervening claims.-

Abstract: Methods of forming semiconductor packages include providing a first insulator layer coupled with a first metallic layer. A recess is formed in the first metallic layer and a semiconductor die is mechanically coupled therein. The die is mechanically coupled with a second metallic layer and the second metallic layer is coupled with a second insulator layer. The die and layers are at least partially encapsulated to form the semiconductor package. The first and/or second metallic layers may be insulator-metal substrates, metal-insulator-metal (MIM) substrates, or may be formed of lead frames. In implementations the package does not include a spacer between the die and the first metallic layer and does not include a spacer between the die and the second metallic layer. In implementations the first insulator layer and the second insulator layer are exposed through the encapsulant or are mechanically coupled with metallic layers exposed through the encapsulant.
