Patent ID: 7999373

Claim:
An arrangement comprising: an electronic component; a cooling body associated with said electronic component; and a support interposed between said electronic component and said cooling body, said support having a layer formed of a material having a dielectric strength of at least 10 kV/mm and a specific thermal conductivity of at least 5 W/mK, said layer of said support having: a top surface supporting said electronic component; a circumferential surface adjacent to said top surface and oriented transversely with respect to said top surface; and a formation at said circumferential surface, said formation being configured to extend along said circumferential surface of said layer so as to lengthen electrically possible pathways between said electronic component and said cooling body as compared with a condition of the layer without the formation, said formation comprising at least one of a recess in said circumferential surface and a protruding element on said circumferential surface.
