Abstract

The device comprises a conductive substrate on which rests a first plane arrangement of semiconductor circuits formed by diodes and IGBT having connecting terminals. The device comprises at least one second plane arrangement of semiconductor circuits, two adjacent plane arrangements being separated by a plane conductor array comprising at least one electrically conductive and heat dissipative busbar connected to terminals of circuits of a first arrangement, said busbar further supporting circuits of a second plane arrangement, at least one conductive member electrically insulated from said busbar being connected to other terminals of the circuits of said first arrangement and being disposed within the volume of said busbar.
