Semiconductor module comprising a housing

Abstract

A semiconductor module comprises a substrate comprising a dielectric insulation layer and at least a first metallization layer arranged on the dielectric insulation layer, and a housing comprising sidewalls, the sidewalls defining an internal volume of the housing, wherein the housing is arranged such that the substrate is arranged within the internal volume defined by the sidewalls, with the metallization layer facing the internal volume of the housing, the housing comprises at least one mounting element for securely mounting the housing on a heat sink, and the sidewalls of the housing consist of an electrically conducting material.
