    Abstract: The present invention relates to a power semiconductor module, comprising at least two power semiconductor devices, wherein the at least two power semiconductor devices comprise at least one power semiconductor transistor and at least one power semiconductor diode, wherein at least a first substrate is provided for carrying the power semiconductor transistor in a first plane, the first plane lying parallel to the plane of the substrate, wherein the power semiconductor diode is provided in a second plane, wherein the first plane is positioned between the substrate and the second plane in a direction normal to the first plane and wherein the first plane is spaced apart from the second plane in a direction normal to the first plane. The first plane is spaced apart from the second plane in a direction normal to the first plane, whereby the first substrate is based on a direct bonded copper substrate and the first substrate is a direct-bonded copper substrate for carrying the transistor, on which first substrate a layer of a printed circuit board is provided for carrying the diode. Alternatively, the first substrate is a direct-bonded copper substrate for carrying the transistor, on which first substrate a foil is provided for carrying the diode, wherein the foil comprises an electrically insulating main body and an electrically conductive structure provided thereon for carrying the diode. Such a power semiconductor module provides a low stray inductance and/or may be built easily.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device comprises two electrodes with opposite faces; a semiconductor wafer sandwiched between the two electrodes; an outer insulating ring attached to the two electrodes and surrounding the semiconductor wafer; a middle insulating ring inside the outer insulating ring and surrounding the semiconductor wafer, whereby the middle insulating ring is made of a plastics material; and an inner insulating ring inside the middle insulating ring, whereby the inner insulating ring is made of ceramics and/or glass material. Either the middle insulating ring or the inner insulating ring has a tongue and the other thereof has a groove such that the tongue fits into the groove for their rotational alignment. The middle insulating ring and the inner insulating ring have a radial opening for receiving a gate connection of the semiconductor device.
