By the way, when forming the coolant flow path in the mold resin itself, there is a problem of how to seal the mating surfaces where a plurality of semiconductor mounting bodies (semiconductor modules) are combined.
In Patent Document 1, an adhesive is applied to the entire peripheral wall portion of the mating surface formed by the mold resin constituting the semiconductor mounting body, and the respective semiconductor mounting bodies are joined by this adhesive.
However, the adhesive is difficult to apply uniformly and is not sufficient for the continuous sealing of the mating surfaces.
On the other hand, it is also conceivable to use a sealing material such as an O-ring or a gasket instead of using an adhesive. However, when these sealing materials are used, the assembling man-hours are required, and if dust or the like is sandwiched between the mating surface and the sealing material, it becomes difficult to seal the mating surface.

  The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and can easily assemble a laminated body of semiconductor modules, and can maintain a sealing state of a mating surface for long-term use. It is intended to provide a laminated body.

A first invention is a laminated body of semiconductor modules in which a plurality of semiconductor modules formed by arranging semiconductor elements in a mold resin are laminated,
The mold resin includes a coolant channel for flowing a coolant that cools the semiconductor element, a seal filling groove formed on the entire periphery of the mating surface where the mold resin meets each other on the outer peripheral side of the coolant channel, and the seal A filling connection port formed through the semiconductor module in the stacking direction so as to communicate with the filling groove;
A lid is laminated on both sides of the plurality of semiconductor modules, and a filling inlet that communicates with the seal filling groove is formed on one of the lids.
The semiconductor module laminate is characterized in that the sealing material injected from the filling inlet is continuously filled into the plurality of seal filling grooves via the filling connection port (Claim 1). .

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for manufacturing a stacked body of semiconductor modules in which a plurality of semiconductor modules formed by arranging semiconductor elements in a mold resin are stacked.
The mold resin includes a coolant channel for flowing a coolant for cooling the semiconductor element, a seal filling groove formed on the entire periphery of the mating surface where the mold resin is combined with each other on the outer peripheral side of the coolant channel, And forming a filling connection port penetrating in the stacking direction of the semiconductor module so as to communicate with the seal filling groove,
A laminated body on both sides of the plurality of semiconductor modules is laminated with a lid, and a filling inlet that communicates with the seal filling groove is formed on one of the lid,
A method of manufacturing a laminated body of a semiconductor module, comprising: injecting a sealing material from the filling inlet, and continuously filling the sealing material into the plurality of seal filling grooves via the filling connection port. (Claim 6).

The laminated body of the semiconductor module of the first invention does not require application of an adhesive or the like, and seals (seal) the mating surface of the mold resin without using a sealing material such as an O-ring or a gasket. It is something that can be done.
Specifically, in the present invention, the seal filling groove and the filling connection port are formed in the mold resin, and the sealing material injected from the filling injection port is transferred to the plurality of seal filling grooves via the filling connection port. The laminated body is formed by continuously filling and laminating each semiconductor module. That is, a stacked body can be formed by stacking the semiconductor modules and filling the sealing material in the stacked state.
Thereby, the sealing material of the present invention does not need to be applied to the mating surfaces like an adhesive, and does not need to be molded into a predetermined shape like an O-ring or a gasket. Therefore, sealing of the mating surfaces where the mold resins are combined can be performed by a simple method, and sealing of the mating surfaces can be performed stably.

  Therefore, according to the laminated body of the semiconductor module of the first invention, it is easy to assemble the laminated body of the semiconductor module, and the sealing state of the mating surface can be maintained for long-term use.

  According to the method for manufacturing a laminated body of semiconductor modules of the second invention, as in the first invention, assembly of the laminated body of semiconductor modules is easy, and the sealing state of the mating surface for long-term use Can be sustained.
