CASING FOR SEMICONDUCTOR HIGH OUTPUT ELEMENT

摘要

A housing for high-power semiconductor components is disclosed. The housing consists of an insulator which forms the lateral boundary of the housing, a high-power semiconductor component which is bounded on either side by intermediate disks formed of tungsten or molybdenum, and outer disks formed of copper. The insulator and outer disks are connected by connecting members which may be coated with a protective layer and which surround a protective ring made of a high temperature material such as a ceramic or temperature resistant plastic. The tungsten or molybdenum intermediate disks have a higher total specific energy absorption capacity than does copper.
