Abstract:
A semiconductor module is disclosed. In one example, the module includes a carrier, at least one semiconductor transistor disposed on the carrier, at least one semiconductor diode disposed on the carrier, at least one semiconductor driver chip disposed on the carrier, a plurality of external connectors, and an encapsulation layer covering the carrier, the semiconductor transistor, the semiconductor diode, and the semiconductor driver chip. The semiconductor transistor, the semiconductor diode, and the semiconductor driver chip are arranged laterally side by side on the carrier.

Claim (Index 18):
A method for fabricating a semiconductor module, the method comprising:\n providing a carrier, the carrier comprising an uppermost metallic layer and an insulating layer underneath the metallic layer, the metallic layer comprising at least one metallic portion and at least one opening portion in which the insulating layer is exposed; disposing at least one semiconductor transistor and at least one semiconductor diode on metallic portions of the metallic layer; disposing at least one semiconductor driver chip on the insulating layer in an opening portion of the metallic layer, such that the semiconductor transistor, the semiconductor diode and the semiconductor driver chip are arranged laterally side by side on the carrier; applying an encapsulation layer onto the carrier, the semiconductor transistor, the semiconductor diode, and the semiconductor driver chip; forming electrical via connections into the encapsulation layer; applying a plurality of external connectors; and forming electrical connections between the semiconductor driver chip and the external connectors, between the at least one semiconductor driver chip and the at least one semiconductor transistor, and between the at least one semiconductor transistor and the at least one semiconductor diode.
