- the dimensions of the mold and the thickness of the release sheet 27 are set so that the electrode lead frame 316 sinks into the release sheet 27 when the mold is clamped. That is, the mold dimensions are set in consideration of the height dimension variation when forming the lead frame structure, and the electrode lead frame 316 sinks into the release sheet 27 to a predetermined amount (for example, about 25 ⁇ m). Thus, the thickness dimension of the release sheet 27 is selected.
- FIG. 14D is a view showing the power semiconductor unit 6 after the transfer mold dies 26a and 26b are removed from the state of FIG. 14C and the release sheet 27 is removed.
- the tip portion of the electrode lead frame having the largest height is in contact with the upper die 26a, and in the other regions, it is between the upper die 26a. There is a gap.
- the sealing material 13 wraps around the heat radiating surface 319s of the electrode lead frame 319, as indicated by reference numeral D1 in FIG.
- the shape of the sealing material edge portion where the sealing material 13 wraps around tends to be an inversely tapered shape with respect to the heat radiation surface 319 s of the electrode lead frame 319 due to surface tension and the like.
- the sealing material 13 may be removed by machining, or may be removed by laser processing.
- the laser irradiation range S1 is set to be inside the outer edge of the electrode lead frame 319 as shown in FIG. The reason is that when the laser light is incident on the outer side of the outer peripheral edge of the electrode lead frame 319, the sealing material 13 is deeply cut, and a steep step is generated in that portion. And by changing the irradiation intensity of the laser, the edge portion of the enclosing sealing material 13 turned into the inclined surface 13a as shown in FIG.
- FIG. 16 is a plan view of the power semiconductor unit 6 after forming the inclined surface.
- the sealing material 13 wraps around the heat radiation surfaces 318 s and 319 s, and the central portion is exposed from the sealing material 13.
- the edge portion of the sealing material 13 in contact with the periphery of the exposed regions 318A and 319A has a step shape as shown in FIG. 14 (d).
- the inclined surface 13a is exposed by forming the inclined surface by laser irradiation or the like described above. It is formed so as to surround 318A and 319A.

At that time, the insulating sheet 10 is disposed between the front and back surfaces of the power semiconductor unit 6 and the inner peripheral surface of the metal cylinder 1. The insulating sheet 10 is pressure-bonded to both the front and back surfaces of the power semiconductor unit 6 as will be described later. At that time, voids are likely to occur in the regions indicated by reference numerals D1 and D2 in FIG.
- the inclined surface 13a described above is formed in the edge of the sealing material in the region D1.
- the end portion of the electrode lead frame 316 is chamfered to form an inclined surface 316c (corresponding to the inclined surface 7a of the electrode lead frame 7 in FIG. 13), as shown in FIG. 14 (c).
- transfer molding was performed with the electrode lead frame 316 submerged in the release sheet 27.
- FIG. 17 is an enlarged view of the regions D1 and D2 when the above-described inclined surface processing is performed, and shows an example of the inclined surfaces 13a and 316c formed at the step portion between the heat radiation surface and the sealing material 13. It is. Looking at the protruding relationship between the heat radiation surface and the surface 13b of the sealing material 13, the sealing material surface 13b protrudes in the region D1 as shown in FIG. 17A, and conversely, in FIG. In the region D2, the heat radiation surface 316s of the electrode lead frame 316 protrudes. In the case of the region D2, since a part of the inclined surface 316c obtained by chamfering is sunk in the release sheet 27 as shown in FIG. 14C, the sealing material 13 has a part on the inclined surface 316c. It is shaped to ride.
- the slope shape of the step is similar in both cases.
- the intersection of the projecting surface and the inclined surface is Q, and the intersection of the inclined surface and the recessed surface is P
- the inclination ⁇ of the straight line L1 passing through the points P and Q is the average of the inclined surface PQ. It can be said that it shows a general inclination.
- the inclined surface PQ refers to a curved surface from the point P to the point Q, and is a substantially inclined surface of the step structure.
- the inclined surface in the region D2 is the surface of the release sheet 27 and the chamfered portion of the electrode lead frame 316 when the electrode lead frame 316 is submerged in the release sheet 27 (the inclined surface 7a in FIG. 13A). Therefore, the inclined surface of the step structure cannot be strictly a plane as indicated by the straight line L1. On the other hand, in the case of the inclined surface 13a of the sealing material 13 shown in FIG. 17A, a flat inclined surface as shown by a straight line L1 can be used.

Therefore, when pressure is applied from above, a part of the insulating sheet 10 is deformed without a gap following the surface shape of the power semiconductor unit 6.
- FIG. 19 shows a case where an inclined surface is not formed in the step portion of the sealing material 13 as a comparative example. Since the pocket-shaped space is formed in the edge portion (the portion indicated by the symbol C) of the sealing material 13 that wraps around the heat dissipation surface of the electrode lead frame 319, the insulating sheet 10 can be used even when pressure bonding is performed. It is very difficult to enter the space without any gaps, and voids are generated in that portion.
- the deformable insulating sheet 10 is pressed against the inclined surface PQ by pressing, but the pressure P1 depends on the angle ⁇ of the inclined surface PQ.
- the magnitude of the pressure P1 can be considered as a component perpendicular to the inclined surface PQ of the applied pressure P0, and becomes larger as the angle ⁇ is smaller. Since this pressure P1 acts so as to compress the void, a larger one is preferable.
- the pressure P0 is about 1 MPa, and in order to suppress the generation of voids, it is preferable that a pressure equal to or more than 1/3 of the pressure P1 acts as the pressure on the inclined surface PQ.
- the angle ⁇ of the inclined surface PQ it is preferable to set the angle ⁇ of the inclined surface PQ to 70 deg or less.
- the angle between the inclined surface PQ and the adjacent heat radiating surface or sealant surface is an obtuse angle, and the obtuse angle is set to 110 degrees or more and less than 180 degrees.
- the inclined surface PQ is curved, and the inclination angle is an angle ⁇ 1 in the vicinity of the point P1, and an angle ⁇ 2 (> ⁇ 1) in the vicinity of the point Q1.
- the planar inclined surface PQ is described in FIG. 18, it is more preferable to use a curved inclined surface having angles ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 as shown in FIG. With such a shape, the insulating sheet 10 flows with a pressure applied perpendicularly to the heat radiating surface 319s of the electrode lead frame 319, and the effect of flowing the void of the heat radiating surface 319s to the side is great.
- the void can be compressed by increasing the pressure applied when the insulating sheet 10 is crimped.
- the semiconductor element may be destroyed. Therefore, it is desirable that the semiconductor element can be compressed to a void of about 7.5 ⁇ m or less without affecting the insulation performance.

If the thermal conductivity is 3 W / mK or more, sufficient heat dissipation can be obtained even when the thickness of the insulating sheet 10 is 100 ⁇ m or more in order to ensure insulation reliability.
- the adhesive strength with respect to the metal cylinder 1 is 10 MPa or more, the adhesive force can be made higher than the stress generated in the temperature cycle, and the adhesion reliability is increased.

- the high thermal conductive layer 37 is flexible, so that the power semiconductor 6 and the metal cylinder 1 It is excellent in terms of followability to the surface shape.
- the uncured transfer mold sealing material contains a release agent such as polyethylene and stearic acid.
- This release agent is solid and non-sticky at room temperature, but becomes liquid at 90 ° C. or higher.
- the release agent that has become liquid has a lower solubility parameter than the epoxy resin that is the base resin of the sealing material, so that it floats to the surface when the sealing material is cured and improves the mold separation between the transfer mold and the sealing material. I am doing. Therefore, the adhesiveness of the adhesive to the sealing material that has been transfer molded is generally poor due to the raised release agent.
- the adhesive is improved by removing the release agent by UV cleaning, plasma cleaning, laser irradiation, polishing, or the like.
- the present inventors pay attention to a silicone resin having a solubility parameter close to that of the mold release agent, and form a high adhesion layer 38 containing the silicone resin 36 as shown in FIG. It was found that high adhesion can be achieved without a process. However, since the silicone resin has a low elastic modulus, there is a problem that the adhesive strength is lowered. In view of this, an investigation was made using an adhesive having a microphase separation structure in which a fine silicone resin is dispersed in a matrix resin having a high elastic modulus.
- the insulating sheet 10 has a three-layer structure in which the high thermal conductive layer 37 is sandwiched between the high adhesion layers 38, so that the insulating sheet 10 having high thermal conductivity and adhesion can be obtained. We were able to.
