Abstract: In an arrangement having at least one substrate, at least one electrical component is disposed on a surface section of the substrate and is provided with an electrical contact area, and at least one electrical contact lug has an electrical connecting area electrically contacting the contact area of the component. The connecting area of the contact lug and the contact area of the component are interconnected so that at least one zone of the contact lug protrudes beyond the area of the component. The contact lug is provided with at least one electrically conducting film while the electrically conducting film is provided with the electrical connecting area of the contact lug. The arrangement is particularly useful for large-area, low-inductive contacting of power semiconductor chips, as it allows for high current density.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement placed on a substrate has at least one semiconductor component arranged on the substrate and having at least one electrical contact surface and at least one connection line also arranged on the substrate and used to electrically contact the contact surface of the semiconductor component. The connection line forms part of a discrete, passive electrical component arranged on the substrate. The electrical contacting of the contact surface of the semiconductor component is carried out during a step of the process and the part of the secrete, passive electrical component is produced. To this end, especially a film consisting of an electrically insulating material is applied to the power semiconductor and to the substrate under a vacuum, and the contact surface of the power semiconductor is then bared. Furthermore, the connection component is carried out and the part of the discrete, passive electrical component is produced.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a circuit assembly with at least two semiconductor components, each having terminals, whereby at least one terminal of the first semiconductor component is connected to a terminal of the other semiconductor component in an electrically conductive manner. The circuit assembly damps high-frequency oscillations that occur during switching operations. An eddy-current damping structure is provided above said assembly at a distance from the semiconductor components or said semiconductor components are directly connected to each other by means of a high-resistance wire connection in addition to the existent electroconductive connection.
