Abstract
A semiconductor module having a base element, at least one insulation element arranged on the base element, and at least one semiconductor element arranged on the insulation element. The insulation element has a metal layer on one side and another metal layer on the opposite side. At least one of the metal layers is curved or has curved portions. As a result, it is possible to minimize excessive field increases in the edge zones and increase the dielectric strength of the semiconductor module.
