  • Patent number: 8110927
    Abstract: A power module having at least one electric power component, such as a power electronic semiconductor component. An electrical contact for a load current is formed on a lower surface and also on an upper surface of the power semiconductor component. To reduce an explosion pressure and accept power when the power electronic semiconductor component is overloaded, a hollow space filled with at least one electrically conducting particle is formed on an electrical contact surface of the electrical contact. In case of a short circuit, an arc is initially generated above the semiconductor element thickness of the power semiconductor component, whereupon the filling in the hollow space takes over current conduction. Preferably, the filling in the hollow space is a plurality of spherical electrically conducting particles. The explosion pressure can escape into interstices in the filling if there is a short circuit. Furthermore, metal vapors are cooled and are condensed.

  • Patent number: 7932585
    Abstract: At least one film composite is laminated on a surface of at least one electrical component. The film composite includes at least one electrically-conducting plastic film with at least one electrically conducting conductor. The electrically-conducting plastic film has a high-ohmic resistance. This method may be used in planar large-surface electrical contacting technology for the production of modules with power semiconductors, where an electrical contacting of the components is achieved by the plastic films. A low lateral electrical conductivity is achieved, such that an electrical charging of the plastic films required for the contacting technology is prevented on operation of the component or the module.

  • Patent number: 7402457
    Abstract: A film, based on polyimide or epoxy, is laminated onto a surface of a substrate under a vacuum, so that the film closely covers the surface and adheres thereto. Contact surfaces to be formed on the surface are uncovered by opening windows in the film. A contact is established in a plane manner between each uncovered contact surface and a layer of metal. This establishes a large-surface contact providing high current density for power semiconductor chips.

  • Publication number: 20080001244
    Abstract: A system has at least one electrical component that is provided with at least one electrical contact surface, at least one electrical connecting lead for electrically contacting the contact surface of the component, and at least one electrical insulating layer which is disposed on the component and encompasses at least one opening. The opening is continuous in the direction of the thickness of the insulating layer and is arranged so as to lie opposite the contact surface of the component. The insulating layer is provided with a lateral surface that delimits the opening while the electrical connecting lead is provided with at least one metallization layer located on the lateral surface. The metallization layer is oriented at an angle to the contact surface such that a section of the connecting lead which is mounted on the insulating layer largely disconnects the insulating layer and the component from each other in a mechanical manner. For this purpose, the metallization layer is preferably a few ?m think.
