Abstract
A power semiconductor module includes a substrate with a structured metallization layer and a number of semiconductor chips. Each chip has a first power electrode bonded to the metallization layer. A leadframe is laser-welded to second power electrodes of the semiconductor chips for electrically interconnecting the semiconductor chips. A control conductor is attached to the leadframe opposite to the semiconductor chips and is electrically isolated from the leadframe. The control conductor is electrically connected to control electrodes of the semiconductor chips in the group.
