Patent ID: 8895994

Claim:
An electronic device comprising: an elongated dielectric substrate having opposing first and second ends, the first end of said elongated dielectric substrate having a first passageway therethrough, and the second end of said elongated dielectric substrate having a second passageway therethrough; a plurality of conductive pads longitudinally spaced apart along at least one surface of said elongated dielectric substrate; a plurality of silicon carbide (SiC) diode dies, each SiC die having bottom and top diode terminals and being mounted on a respective conductive pad with the bottom diode terminal in contact therewith; at least one internal wirebond between the corresponding conductive pad of one SiC diode die and the top diode terminal of a next SiC diode die; a first external lead electrically coupled to the top diode terminal of a first SiC die and extending through the first passageway and longitudinally outwardly from the first end of said elongated dielectric substrate; a second external lead electrically coupled to the corresponding contact pad of a last SiC diode die and extending through the second passageway and longitudinally outwardly from the second end of said elongated dielectric substrate; and a dielectric encapsulant surrounding said dielectric substrate, conductive pads, SiC diodes, and the at least one internal wirebond.
