Power module with capacitor configured for improved thermal management

Module, comprising

• a power semiconductor device,
• a ceramic capacitor which is configured for cooling the power semiconductor device, and
• at least one further capacitor configured to cool the power semiconductor device,
• wherein the ceramic capacitor comprises a lead-lanthanum-zirconate-titanate ceramic, and
• wherein the ceramic capacitor and the power semiconductor device are connected together by a layer at least comprising silver as a constituent, wherein the coefficients of thermal expansion of the ceramic capacitor, of the power semiconductor and of the silver-comprising layer differ from each other by no more than 10−5 K−1, wherein the module further comprises a control unit configured to control a function of the power semiconductor device, wherein the power semiconductor device includes an upper side on which the ceramic capacitor is arranged, and wherein the power semiconductor device includes a lower side that is opposite the upper side, the control unit being arranged directly on the lower side.
