MULTI-CHIP MODULE FOR USE IN HIGH-POWER APPLICATIONS

摘要

A multiple semiconductor chip module for use in high-power applications includes at least a power semiconductor chip (30) and a control semiconductor chip (40) mounted on an electrically conductive heat sink (20). The power semiconductor chip may be a Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) device and the control semiconductor chip may be a semiconductor device having a substrate connected to ground potential. The power semiconductor chip and the control semiconductor chip are directly mounted on the electrically conductive heat sink without the use of a separate electrical insulation layer in order to obtain a multi-chip module which is simple and economical to manufacture, and which offers superior performance characteristics.
