Publication number: 20170338193Abstract: A description is given of a power semiconductor module 10 which can be transferred from a normal operating mode to an explosion-free robust short-circuit failure mode. Said power semiconductor module 10 comprises a power semiconductor 1 having metallizations 3 which form potential areas and are separated by insulations and passivations on the top side 2 of said power semiconductor. Furthermore, an electrically conductive connecting layer is provided, on which at least one metal shaped body 4 which has a low lateral electrical resistance and is significantly thicker than the connecting layer is arranged, said at least one metal shaped body being applied by sintering of the connecting layer such that said metal shaped body is cohesively connected to the respective potential area.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2015Publication date: November 23, 2017Inventors: Josef Lutz, Ronald Eisele, Jacek Rudzki, Martin Becker, Mathias Kock, Frank Osterwald
