Power semiconductor module

摘要

A power semiconductor module includes a plastic housing, a plurality of connection elements for external main connections and control connections, and at least one ceramic substrate which is provided at least on its top side with a structured metalization. The at least one ceramic substrate is fitted with semiconductor components and is inserted into a bottom opening of the plastic housing. The connection elements for the external main connections and control connections are connected by detaching a part of the structured metalization from the at least one ceramic substrate and bending it vertically upward to form a grip tab so that the grip tab can be connected to a connection element through the use of a brazed joint or a welded joint. These measures ensure an excellent stability with regard to fluctuating thermal loads.
