The circuit carrier includes a first metallization layer, a second metallization layer, an intermediate metallization layer arranged between the first metallization layer and the second metallization layer, a first insulation layer arranged between the intermediate metallization layer and the second metallization layer, and a second insulation layer arranged between the first metallization layer and the intermediate metallization layer. Each of the half bridge circuits includes a first circuit node, a second circuit node and a third circuit node, a controllable first semiconductor switch and a controllable second semiconductor switch. The controllable first semiconductor switch has a first main contact electrically connected to the first circuit node, a second main contact electrically connected to the third circuit node, and a gate contact for controlling an electric current between the first main contact and the second main contact. Accordingly, the controllable second semiconductor switch has a first main contact electrically connected to the second circuit node, a second main contact electrically connected to the third circuit node, and a gate contact for controlling an electric current between the first main contact and the second main contact. The first semiconductor switch and the second semiconductor switch of each of the half bridge circuits are arranged on that side of the first metallization layer facing away from the second insulation layer. The bonding wire is directly bonded to the intermediate metallization layer at a first bonding location.
