A package for one or more solid state devices in a single module that allows
for
operation at high voltage, high current, or both high voltage and high current.
Low thermal resistance between the solid state devices and an exterior of the package
and matched coefficient of thermal expansion between the solid state devices and
the materials used in packaging enables high power operation. The solid state devices
are soldered between two layers of ceramic with metal traces that interconnect
the devices and external contacts. This approach provides a simple method for assembling
and encapsulating high power solid state devices.
