    摘要: A power semiconductor module comprises a base plate (1); a semiconductor chip (2) disposed on and in contact with a top surface of the base plate (1), a preform (3) disposed on and in contact with a top surface of the semiconductor chip (2); and a pressing element (4) in contact with and applying a pressure onto a top surface of the preform (3). The preform (3) comprises a first electrically conductive layer (6) and a second electrically conductive layer (5). The first electrically conductive layer (6) has at least one protrusion (7) protruding towards the top surface of the semiconductor chip (2) and defining a recess (9) in the first electrically conductive layer (6) of the preform (3), wherein the recess (9) may annularly surround the protrusion (7). The at least one protrusion (7) is made from the same material as the first electrically conducting layer (6) and integrally formed with it or the first electrically conducting layer (6) and the at least one protrusion (7) are made from different materials. At least a portion of the second electrically conductive layer (5) is positioned in the recess (9) and on the top surface of the semiconductor chip (2). The material of the at least one protrusion (7) has a higher melting point than the material of the second electrically conductive layer (5). The power semiconductor module is configured so that in an event of semiconductor chip failure with heat dissipation, the protrusion (7) of the first electrically conductive layer (6) penetrates through residual material (8) of the semiconductor chip (2) upon pressure applied by the pressing element (4) towards the base plate (1) so as to establish a contact between the protrusion (7) of the first electrically conductive layer (6) and the base plate (1) and form a short circuit bridging the defective semiconductor chip (2) in a short circuit failure mode. The bottom surface of the preform (3) may be formed by a bottom surface of the second electrically conductive layer (5) alone or by a bottom surface of the second electrically conductive layer (5) and a bottom surface of the protrusion (7).

    摘要: Ein leistungselektronisches Schaltmodul umfasst mindestens einen Leistungshalbleiter (20) und einen an dem Leistungshalbleiter (20) elektrisch anbindbaren oder angebundenen ersten Schaltkontakt (30) und einen an dem Leistungshalbleiter elektrisch anbindbaren oder angebundenen zweiten Schaltkontakt (10), wobei erster (30) und zweiter Schaltkontakt (10) zumindest in einem Bereich zueinander kraftbeaufschlagt und mittels einer elektrischen Isolation (40) voneinander beabstandet sind, wobei die Isolation (40) derart angeordnet und ausgebildet ist, dass sie infolge Bestromung des Leistungshalbleiters (20) mit einem Fehlerstrom dort entfernbar ist, wo die Isolation (40) bei ausbleibender Bestromung den ersten und den zweiten Schaltkontakt (10, 30) voneinander beabstandet. Folglich werden der erste und der zweite Schaltkontakt (10, 30) im Fehlerfall nicht weiter durch die Isolation (40) beabstandet und können aufgrund der Kraftbeaufschlagung aufeinander zu miteinander elektrisch leitend in Kontakt treten und einen alternativen Fehlerstrompfad ausbilden.

    摘要: Embodiments herein describe techniques for fuse lines and plugs formation. A semiconductor device may include a fuse line having a nominal fuse segment abutted to a necked fuse segment. The nominal fuse segment may be wider than the necked fuse segment. A first spacer may be along a first side of the fuse line and a second spacer along a second side opposite to the first side of the fuse line. The first spacer may include a part having a width at least twice a width of a part of the second spacer. A plug within a vicinity of the necked fuse segment may have a plug width that may be at least twice a plug with of a plug of an interconnect line outside the vicinity. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed.

    摘要: Techniques and mechanisms for controlling configurable circuitry including an antifuse. In an embodiment, the antifuse is disposed in or on a substrate, the antifuse configured to form a solder joint to facilitate interconnection of circuit components. Control circuitry to operate with the antifuse is disposed in, or at a side of, the same substrate. The antifuse is activated based on a voltage provided at an input node, where the control circuitry automatically transitions through a pre-determined sequence of states in response to the voltage. The pre-determined sequence of states coordinates activation of one or more fuses and switched coupling one or more circuit components to the antifuse. In another embodiment, multiple antifuses, variously disposed in or on the substrate, are configured each to be activated based on the voltage provided at an input node.
