Patent ID: 8569881

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: a baseplate; a first insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) substrate coupled to the baseplate; a second IGBT substrate coupled to the baseplate; a first diode substrate coupled to the baseplate; a second diode substrate coupled to the baseplate; a first control substrate coupled to the baseplate; a second control substrate coupled to the baseplate; a third control substrate coupled to the baseplate; first bond wires coupling the first IGBT substrate and the second IGBT substrate to the first control substrate; second bond wires directly and physically coupling the first IGBT substrate and the second IGBT substrate to the second control substrate via the first diode substrate and the second diode substrate; and third bond wires directly and physically coupling the first IGBT substrate and the second IGBT substrate to the third control substrate via the second diode substrate.
