  • Metal slugs for double-sided cooling of power module
    Patent number: 9698076
    Abstract: A power module for converting direct current to alternating current, the power module including: a semiconductor switching circuit device, a substrate onto which said switching circuit device is physically and electrically coupled, at least one secondary substrate with the semiconductor switching circuit device being physically and electrically coupled to the at least one secondary substrate such that the semiconductor switching circuit device is formed between the substrate and the at least one secondary substrate, at least one thermal mass attached to a respective secondary substrate of the at least one secondary substrate, and a cover at least partially disposed about said power module, said cover including an opening exposing a bottom side of the substrate.
    Type: Grant
