Abstract

In a pressure-contacted large-area power semiconductor element, in which a substrate (1) is compressed between an anode-side (20) and a cathode-side compression plate (19), an improved contact is obtained by arranging, at least between one of the compression plates (19,20) and the associated contact (2,9), a metal foil (17) which is soldered to this contact.
