Abstract:
1. A power semiconductor module comprising: a substrate; a circuit formed on said substrate and including a plurality of conductor tracks that are electrically insulated from one another and power semiconductor components arranged on said conductor tracks; a connection device to connect, in a circuit-conforming manner, said components and said tracks; at least two electrically conductive layers; and at least one electrically insulating layer disposed between said two electrically conductive layers; wherein said substrate has a first sealing area, which uninterruptedly encloses said circuit and a connection layer that connects said sealing area to an assigned second sealing area on a layer of said connection device; and wherein said first sealing area is arranged on a metallic layer and is hermetically tightly connected to at least one of said electrically conductive layers of said connection device by a pressure sintering connection and wherein said connection layer comprises a sintering metal.
