A power semiconductor module, as well as a corresponding method of manufacture, are provided. The power semiconductor module has a plurality of power switches. A first subset of the power switches forms part of a first electrical current branch. A second subset of the power switches forms part of a second electrical current branch. Within the current branches, the associated power switches are arranged symmetrically with respect to the DC voltage contacts and are connected in such a way that a current density which is formed in the individual current paths which are respectively assigned to one of the power switches is at least substantially homogeneously distributed during the high frequency operation of the power semiconductor module and/or in the operation of the power switches with high voltage gradients.
