Patent ID: 7940526

Claim:
An electric module with at least one electric circuit provided on a common cooler structure perfused by a coolant, comprising: at least two plate-shaped coolers forming the common cooler structure and perfused by the coolant and arranged parallel to each other and at a distance from each other by spacers provided between the at least two plate-shaped coolers; at least one first channel for supplying and distributing the coolant to the at least two plate-shaped coolers, the at least one first channel extending through at least part of the spacers; at least one second channel for removing the coolant from the at least two plate-shaped coolers, the at least one second channel extending through at least part of the spacers; the at least one electric circuit with electronic components being held in a space between two adjacent coolers of the at least two plate-shaped coolers and on one of the adjacent coolers of the at least two plate-shaped coolers; and each of the at least two plate-shaped coolers comprising several interconnected layers made of a metal, wherein inner layers of the several interconnected layers of each of the at least two plate-shaped coolers are structured by openings made in said inner layers, the openings form an inner, structured cooling area, which forms a cooling channel for the coolant that branches off in three spatial axes; wherein the several interconnected inner layers form continuous posts in the structured cooling area, the continuous posts extend to a top and a bottom of a respective cooler; wherein the at least one electric circuit comprises a substrate bonded to one of the at least two plate-shaped coolers with the electric components to the substrate on a side opposite the one of the at least two plate-shaped coolers; wherein the substrate comprises an insulating layer with at least one-sided metallization that carries the electric components; and wherein the at least one electric circuit and the electric components are spaced a distance from and not in contact with another one of the two adjacent coolers of the at least two plate-shaped coolers forming the common cooler structure.
