SEMICONDUCTOR MODULE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A SEMICONDUCTOR MODULE

摘要

An exemplary semiconductor module includes a substrate formed of a ceramic insulator, and at least one metallic layer formed on the substrate. The metallic layer includes a deepening for placing and fixing a contact element. The contact element is at least partially "L"-shaped and includes a first arm for fixing the contact element at the deepening, and a second arm for interconnecting the contact element with an external device. The deepening has a horizontal dimension which is about @0.5 mm bigger than the horizontal dimension of the contact element.
