Abstract
A power semiconductor device, a power semiconductor module and a power semiconductor device processing method are provided. The power semiconductor device includes a first load terminal structure, a second load terminal structure, and a semiconductor structure electrically coupled to each load terminal structure and configured to carry a load current. The first load terminal structure includes a conductive layer in contact with the semiconductor structure, a bonding block configured to be contacted by at least one bond wire and to receive at least a part of the load current from the at least one bond wire and/or the conductive layer, a support block having a hardness greater than the hardness of the conductive layer and the bonding block. The bonding block is mounted on the conductive layer via the support block, and a zone is arranged within the conductive layer and/or the bonding block, the zone exhibiting nitrogen atoms.
