Patent ID: 7466020

Claim:
A power module, comprising: a substrate having at least one major surface; at least one electrically conducting layer disposed on the at least one major surface; at least one active semiconductor chip electrically connected to the at least one electrically conducting layer; a first film having planar conductor tracks and being made of an electrically insulating material contacting a surface of the at least one active semiconductor chip, a surface of the at least one electrically conducting layer, and a surface of the substrate; a second film contacting surfaces of the planar conductor tracks and of the first film; a passive semiconductor chip mounted on the second film above the at least one active semiconductor chip, said passive semiconductor chip being electrically connected to the planar conductor tracks via a window disposed in the second film; and a third film contacting a surface of the passive semiconductor chip and of the second film, wherein the third film comprises a planar conductor track, which is electrically connected with the at least one electrically conducting layer located below the active semiconductor chip.
