Joining and Insulating Power Electronic Semiconductor Components

Abstract

Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a method for joining and insulating a power electronic semiconductor component with contact surfaces to a substrate. In some embodiments, the method includes: preparing the substrate with a metallization defining an installation slot having joining material, wherein the substrate comprises an organic or a ceramic wiring support; arranging an electrically insulating film and the semiconductor component on the substrate, such that the contact surfaces of the semiconductor component facing the substrate are omitted from the film and regions of the semiconductor component exposed by the contact surfaces are insulated at least in part by the film from the substrate and from the contact surfaces; and joining the semiconductor component to the substrate and electrically insulating the semiconductor component at least in part by the film in one step.
