Abstract
A power module includes at least two power units. Each power unit includes at least one power semiconductor and a substrate. In order to reduce the installation space required for the power module and to improve cooling, the at least one power semiconductor is connected, in particular in a materially bonded manner, to the substrate. The substrates of the at least two power units are each directly connected in a materially bonded manner to a surface of a common heat sink. A power converter having at least one power module is also disclosed.
