Original Abstract Submitted
a power module for a vehicle. the power module includes a first circuit carrier having on a first side, a power conductor structure arranged on an electrically insulating layer; and a further circuit carrier arranged spatially parallel to the first circuit carrier having, on a first side, a further power conductor structure arranged on an electrically insulating layer, and, on a second side, a control signal conductor structure arranged on the electrically insulating layer; and at least one semiconductor switch having a semiconductor substrate with two power terminals and a control terminal. the two power terminals and a spacer element are arranged between the power conductor structure and the further power conductor structure in a stack with at least three sinter layers. the control terminal of the semiconductor switch is electrically connected via a connection line to a corresponding contact region of the control signal conductor structure.
