  • Patent number: 10092974
    Abstract: One aspect of the invention relates to a method for producing a circuit carrier. For this purpose, an electrically insulating carrier is provided, having an upper side and also an underside opposite from the upper side. A first metal foil and a hardening material are likewise provided. Then, an upper metallization layer, which is arranged on the upper side and has a hardening area, is produced. In this case, at least one contiguous portion of the hardening area is created by at least part of the hardening material being diffused into the first metal foil.

  • Patent number: 7968988
    Abstract: The power semiconductor module (1) has a heat-conducting base plate (11) on which at least three substrates (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) are placed, each substrate supporting at least one power semiconductor component (8, 9) that gives off heat generated during operation. In order to optimize a power semiconductor module of this type with regard to mechanical load and heat dissipation, the substrates (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) are placed on the base plate (11) while being arranged in a single row (12), and pressing devices (15, 16), which are situated close to the substrate, are provided on both longitudinal sides (11a, 11b) of the base plate (11) while being arranged parallel to the row (12). The base plate can be pressed against a cooling surface by the pressing devices.

  • Patent number: 7874756
    Abstract: Kit for applying a fluid onto a surface and method using the kit. The kit includes a fluid having a yield point, a fluid container having at least one opening, and an applicator element having one or more porous areas for applying the fluid to a surface. The applicator element is located on the at least one opening of the container. The at least one porous area of the applicator element is in contact with the fluid. The fluid wets the at least one porous area of the applicator element but does not leak out of it as long as the porous area is not in contact with the surface. A porosity of the at least one porous area of the applicator element is related to the yield point of the fluid or vice versa.

  • Publication number: 20070286669
    Abstract: A kit for applying a fluid onto a surface. The kit comprises (i) a fluid having a yield point, (ii) a container having at least one opening, and (iii) an applicator for applying the fluid to a surface. The applicator comprises a porous area, whereby when the applicator is disposed on the opening of the container and the porous area is in contact with the fluid, the fluid wets the porous area of the applicator without leaking out of it, as long as the porous area is not in contact with the surface. This Abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
