Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating a semiconductor power module package, the method comprising: obtaining a substrate comprising a ceramic insulation layer, an upper conductive layer disposed on a top surface of the ceramic insulation layer, and a lower conductive layer deposited on a bottom surface of the ceramic insulation layer; placing at least one semiconductor chip on a top surface of the substrate; mounting a temperature sensor on a top surface of the at least one semiconductor chip, wherein the temperature sensor comprises a thermistor; and arranging a plurality of leads to be electrically connected to the temperature sensor, wherein the mounting of the temperature sensor includes attaching an adhesive sheet to the top surface of the at least one semiconductor chip, attaching first and second wiring patterns to a top surface of the adhesive sheet, and coupling the first wiring pattern to a first electrode terminal of the temperature sensor and coupling the second wiring pattern to a second electrode terminal of the temperature sensor, through a soldering process so as to electrically connect the first and second electrode terminals to corresponding leads in the plurality of leads.
