Abstract: A semiconductor module arrangement includes a housing, a first semiconductor substrate arranged inside the housing, a second semiconductor substrate arranged inside the housing, a first plurality of controllable semiconductor elements, and a second plurality of controllable semiconductor elements. During operation of the semiconductor module arrangement, each controllable semiconductor element of the first plurality of controllable semiconductor elements generates switching losses and conduction losses, the switching losses being greater than the conduction losses. Further during operation of the semiconductor module arrangement, each controllable semiconductor element of the second plurality of controllable semiconductor elements generates switching losses and conduction losses, the conduction losses being greater than the switching losses. At least a first sub-group of the first plurality of controllable semiconductor elements is arranged on the first semiconductor substrate, and at least a first sub-group of the second plurality of controllable semiconductor elements is arranged on the second semiconductor substrate.

Abstract: First and second semiconductor main-elements, each having a control electrode and a load path, the load paths connected in series between first and second supply nodes, are connected with each other via a first common node. Third and fourth semiconductor main-elements, each having a control electrode and a load path, the load paths connected in series and between a third supply node and the second supply node, are connected with each other via a second common node. A fifth semiconductor main-element has a control electrode and a load path operatively connected between the first common node and an output node. A sixth semiconductor main-element has a control electrode and a load path operatively connected between the second common node and the output node. At least two of the controllable semiconductor main-elements each include a plurality of identical controllable semiconductor subcomponents.

Abstract: An embodiment of a semiconductor device includes a plurality of transistor sections separated from each other and a plurality of diode sections separated from each other. Each transistor section includes an emitter electrode and a collector electrode. Each diode section includes an anode electrode and a cathode electrode. Each transistor section is electrically coupled to a common gate pad. A ratio between an active transistor part and an active diode part of the semiconductor device is adjustable by activating a first number of the transistor sections by selectively contacting the emitter electrodes and the collector electrodes of the first number of transistor sections, and by activating a second number of the diode sections by selectively contacting the anode electrodes and the cathode electrodes of the second number of diode sections.

Abstract: A semiconductor die includes a semiconductor body having first and second active portions. The first active portion includes first source regions. The second active portion includes second source regions. A gate structure extends from a first surface into the semiconductor body and has a longitudinal gate extension along a lateral first direction. A first load pad and the first source regions are electrically connected. A second load pad and the second source regions are electrically connected. A gap laterally separates the first and second load pads. A lateral longitudinal extension of the gap is parallel to the first direction or deviates therefrom by not more than 60 degree. A connection structure electrically connects the first and second load pads. The connection structure is formed in a groove extending from the first surface into the semiconductor body and/or in a wiring layer formed on the first surface.
