Abstract

A package for a semiconductor device or circuit comprises a semiconductor switch module having a metallic base on an exterior side and metallic pads. A metallic enclosure is arranged for receiving the semiconductor switch module. The metallic enclosure has a recess of a size and shape for receiving the semiconductor switch module. The metallic enclosure has a set of dielectric regions with embedded or pass-through electrical terminals that are electrically insulated or isolated from the metallic enclosure. The electrical terminals are electrically connected to the metallic pads. A metallic bridging connection fills and hydraulically seals what would otherwise be a perimeter gap between the metallic base and the metallic enclosure.
