  • Patent number: 11195778
    Abstract: An electronic power module, including at least one semiconductor component, which is arranged on a support, as well as a cooling element, which is in thermal contact with the semiconductor component, wherein the support includes a semiconductor material and, at the same time, serves as a cooling element.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 24, 2016
    Date of Patent: December 7, 2021
    Assignees: AUDI AG, ABB Schweiz AG
    Inventors: Andreas Apelsmeier, Günter Vetter
  • Patent number: 10184385
    Abstract: A motor vehicle can be powered by a combustion engine or an electric machine or both. Coolant is conveyed in the coolant circuit first to the electric machine before being conveyed from the electric machine to the combustion engine for cooling both the combustion engine and the electric machine. A cooling device adjusts a temperature of the coolant in the coolant circuit in such a way that the cooling device adjusts the coolant to a first temperature, when the motor vehicle is powered by the combustion engine, and to a second temperature which is less than the first temperature, when the motor vehicle is powered by the electric machine and the combustion engine.

  • Patent number: 9905533
    Abstract: A method for producing a semiconductor arrangement, said method includes fastening a semiconductor on a base element by means of a sintered layer, wherein a side of the sintered layer which faces the base element is configured planar; and perforating a region of the base element, which directly contacts the sinter, wherein the perforating includes generating a plurality of through-openings having a closed border in the region of the base element for adjusting a stiffness of at least a portion of the base element in a targeted manner
