  • Patent number: 11276623
    Abstract: A circuit carrier for holding at least one electrical power component is disclosed. The circuit carrier including a heat sink for holding and for cooling the power component. The heat sink having a surface. The circuit carrier includes a copper layer for mechanically connecting the heat sink to at least one copper plate, where the copper layer includes copper or a copper alloy and is cold-gas-sprayed or sintered on the surface of the heat sink. The circuit carrier also includes at least one copper plate for mechanically and electrically connecting the power component to the copper layer. The copper plate includes copper or a copper alloy and is arranged directly on a surface of the copper layer facing away from the heat sink and is areally, mechanically and electrically conductively connected to the copper layer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9848499
    Abstract: A method of producing a printed circuit board (10) with a plurality of inlays (21, 22, 23, 24), having the following steps: supplying a plurality of inlays (21, 22, 23, 24), of which at least one inlay has at least one positioning element (21.1, 21.2; 22.1 to 22.7; 23.1, 23.2; 24.1, 24.2); building up a layer sequence from a plurality of printed-circuit-board layers, with at least one recess (14) for accommodating inlays, wherein, prior to the step of the plurality of inlays (21, 22, 23, 24) being inserted, the recess (14) is defined in an uppermost layer (12) by a frame made of non-conductive printed-circuit-board material; inserting the plurality of inlays (21, 22, 23, 24) into the recess (14) defined by the frame; covering the inlays (21, 22, 23, 24) with a non-conductive printed-circuit-board material; laminating the layer sequence, and removing at least the positioning elements (21.1, 21.2; 22.1 to 22.7; 23.1, 23.2; 24.1, 24.2) which establish a conductive contact between neighboring inlays.

  • Publication number: 20110134610
    Abstract: An electronic module contains a printed circuit board having a conductor track structure and at least one receiving surface. The electronic module further contains at least one electronic component which is disposed on the at least one receiving surface and electrically connected to the conductor track structure. A coolant conducting structure is embodied in the printed circuit board and in which a cooling medium circulates during the operation of the electronic module. A section of the coolant conducting structure in the region of the at least one receiving surface being formed by a wall of the printed circuit board and a surface of the electronic component.
