Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 10:
11. A method for producing a semiconductor arrangement, the method comprising:
mounting a plurality of bonding wires on a controllable semiconductor element, the controllable semiconductor element comprising an active region of doped semiconductor material,
wherein mounting the plurality of bonding wires on the controllable semiconductor element comprises:
for each of the plurality of bonding wires, forming a first number of bond connections between the bonding wire and a first contact terminal at a top side of the controllable semiconductor element, thereby electrically and mechanically coupling the bonding wire to the first contact terminal at the top side of the controllable semiconductor element,
wherein:
the plurality of bonding wires is arranged in parallel to each other in a first horizontal direction;
the active region has a first length in the first horizontal direction and a first width in a second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction;
each of the bond connections is arranged above the active region in a vertical direction that is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction and the second horizontal direction;
a first bond connection of each of the plurality of bonding wires is arranged at a first distance from a first edge of the active region in the first horizontal direction,
the first distance is less than the first length divided by twice the first number of bond connections,
the first bond connection of each of the plurality of bonding wires is the bond connection arranged closest to the first edge,
a second bond connection of each of the plurality of bonding wires is arranged at a second distance from a second edge of the active region in the first horizontal direction,
the second edge is arranged opposite the first edge,
the second distance is less than the first length divided by twice the first number of bond connections,
the second bond connection of each of the plurality of bonding wires is the bond connection arranged closest to the second edge,
the active region of the controllable semiconductor element is a region configured to carry a current when the controllable semiconductor element is used,
the controllable semiconductor element further comprises an edge region of semiconductor material surrounding the active region in a horizontal plane and that does not carry any currents,
the plurality of bonding wires are electrically and mechanically coupled to the first contact terminal above the active region of the controllable semiconductor element but not the edge region.
