Abstract

A method of establishing an electric connection between electric terminals of a semiconductor component as part of an electric module and additional parts of the electric module by using a punched grid having internal terminal ends and external terminal ends that are electrically connected to the internal terminal ends by metal strip conductors, the semiconductor component and the punched grid are joined so that at least two electric terminals of the semiconductor component are positioned on corresponding internal terminal ends so that a slip-proof mounting of the semiconductor component on the two internal terminal ends is then possible, this mechanical mounting at the same time establishing an electric connection between the electric terminals of the semiconductor component and the internal terminal ends, whereby a metal strip grid, e.g., a punched grid, which, even before being joined to the semiconductor component, has already been embedded on at least one side in at least one partial area in a material that is not electrically conductive, is used as the metal strip grid. This procedure is used for bond-free contacting of semiconductor components for high-power applications in …
