Abstract

A multiple semiconductor chip (multi-chip) module includes at least an output semiconductor chip and a control semiconductor chip mounted on an electrically conductive heat sink. The output semiconductor chip may have a bulk substrate configuration and the control semiconductor chip may have a Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) configuration. The output semiconductor chip and the control semiconductor chip are directly mounted on the electrically conductive heat sink without the use of a separate electrical insulation layer in order to obtain a multi-chip module which is simple and economical to manufacture, and which offers superior performance characteristics such as enhanced heat sink efficiency and reduced EMI.
