Patent Images
1. A power semiconductor module comprising:
- a heat sink having opposed first and second sides;
at least one power semiconductor assembly mounted on each of said first and second sides of said heat sink; and
a plurality of electrically conductive contact laminates extending parallel to the heat sink stacked on top of the power semiconductor assemblies; and
wherein each of the power semiconductor assemblies comprises at least one power semiconductor switch, in particular an IGBT, having a reverse-connected parallel diode connected across said switch, which are fitted to a substrate made of an electrically insulating and thermally conductive material selected from the group consisting of aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride and beryllium oxide.

Abstract
In the case of a power semiconductor module (1) according to the invention, substrates (8) having a power semiconductor assembly (2) are fitted on both sides of a heat sink (3). The power semiconductor assemblies (2) are made contact with by a stack of contact laminates (4), which contact laminates (4) run parallel to the heat sink (3). A very low-inductance structure is obtained thereby.
