Claim 13:
14. An apparatus, comprising:
a multi-level power converter including a plurality of power semiconductor packages, wherein the plurality of power semiconductor packages individually comprise:
a power transfer path comprising at least a high-side switch and a low-side switch each comprising a vertical field effect transistor including a first node and a second node arranged vertically with respect to each other along a direction perpendicular to a major surface of an individual power semiconductor package;
a first terminal coupled to the first node of the high-side switch;
a second terminal coupled to the second node of the low-side switch;
a high-side switch terminal coupled to the second node of the high-side switch; and
a low-side switch terminal coupled to the first node of the low-side switch,
wherein the high-side switch terminal and the low-side switch terminal comprise separate terminals,
the high-side switch terminal is coupled to the second node of the high-side switch via a first copper clip, and
the low-side switch terminal is coupled to the first node of the low-side switch via a second copper clip.
