Abstract
A power module and a method for producing it. The power module has a first substrate having power semiconductor chips, and a second substrate populated with signal semiconductor chips. The substrates are oriented parallel one above the other, their placement sides being arranged facing one another, and the second substrate, with the aid of bonding wires bent in hingelike fashion, being held at a defined distance d from the first substrate and being mechanically fixed in a plastic housing and electrically connected.
