  • Publication number: 20230110154
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor element, a conducting member, a conductive bonding material, a resin member and a first barrier layer. The semiconductor element includes an element first surface and an element second surface facing away from each other in a thickness direction, with the element first surface provided with an electrode. The conducting member includes an obverse surface facing the element first surface and a reverse surface facing away from the obverse surface. The conductive bonding material is disposed between the electrode and the obverse surface of the conducting member. The resin member covers at least a portion of the conducting member, the semiconductor element and the conductive bonding material. The first barrier layer is disposed between the electrode and the conductive bonding material to prevent a reaction between the electrode and the conductive bonding material.

  • Publication number: 20230090494
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a conductor, a semiconductor element, and a bonding layer. The conductor has obverse surfaces and reverse surfaces facing away from each other in a thickness direction. The semiconductor element has a body layer and electrodes projecting toward the obverse surfaces from a side of the body layer that opposes the obverse surfaces in the thickness direction. The bonding layer bonds the obverse surfaces and the electrodes. Each electrode has a base portion in contact with the body layer and a columnar portion projecting from the base portion and in contact with the bonding layer. The electrodes include a first electrode and a second electrode located closer to the periphery of the body layer than is the first electrode as viewed in the thickness direction. The second electrode is larger in area of the columnar portion than the first electrode, as viewed in the thickness direction.
