Abstract

A stacked intelligent power module package is provided. The intelligent power module package of the present invention includes a power unit including a heat sink and a control unit which is separately manufactured from the power unit and is subsequently stacked on the power unit. The power unit and the control unit of the intelligent power module package are stacked in two different ways including stacking two wire-bonded leadframes of the power unit and the control unit and stacking two separate semiconductor packages of the power unit and the control unit by using locking means formed in each of the semiconductor packages after a trimming/forming process and an electrical property test are finished.
