Power module and electric transportation apparatus incorporating the same

摘要

A power module includes a plurality of first semiconductor devices disposed so as to define a first layer in a substantially common plane, a plurality of second semiconductor devices disposed so as to define a second layer in a substantially same plane, and at least one metal plate electrically connected to at least two semiconductor devices selected from among the plurality of first and second semiconductor devices. The first layer and second layer are stacked such that the plurality of second semiconductor devices do not overlap the plurality of first semiconductor devices.
