Substrate for power semiconductor modules with through-plating of solder and method for its production

摘要

A substrate for power semiconductor modules with a through-plating of solder, includes two metal plates and a ceramic plate which is seated as a layer between the metal plates and has a through hole formed therein. The substrate is plated through by making a through hole in one of the metal plates in alignment with the through hole in the ceramic plate and applying a paste solder to one side of the substrate. The substrate is then subjected to a furnace step, so that the paste solder flows into the through holes and the solder makes a permanent contact between the two metal plates. A method for producing the substrate is also provided.
