Abstract:
A semiconductor module is produced by providing a circuit carrier having a metallization, an electrically conductive wire and a bonding device. With the aid of the bonding device, a bonding connection is produced between the metallization and a first section of the wire. A separating location and a second section of the wire, the second section being spaced apart from the separating location, are defined on the wire. The wire is reshaped in the second section. Before or after reshaping, the wire is severed at the separating location, such that a terminal conductor of the semiconductor module is formed from a part of the wire. The terminal conductor is bonded to the metallization and having a free end at the separating location.
