Patent ID: 8283784

Claim:
A method for producing a power semiconductor module used for housing at least one power semiconductor, the power semiconductor including connectors for connecting to at least one load terminal element, the method comprising the steps of: providing a substrate; disposing a connection device which includes a layer sequence having a first electrically conductive structured metal film, an electrically insulating film and a second electrically conductive structured metal film, atop said substrate, said connection device also including auxiliary contact pads which are configured to connect to an external circuit; forming respective first and second conductor tracks from the respective metal films; cohesively connecting respective first contact areas of said first conductor tracks to at least one second contact area of the power semiconductor and at least one third contact area of the load terminal element thereby forming an assemblage of the at least one power semiconductor and said connection device and the load terminal elements; and arranging said assemblage to form a housing of the power semiconductor module.
