  • Patent number: 6979843
    Abstract: A power semiconductor device that uses a lead frame for making connection to a semiconductor device and has a structure less subject to fatigue failure at the connection part of the lead frame. A mold resin of a casing (14) is used for integrally covering the lead frame (6, 7, 13), semiconductor device (1), and metal block (15) serving as a substrate mounting the semiconductor device (1). The mold resin surrounding the lead frame (6) and semiconductor device (1) strengthens the joint therebetween, resulting in the power semiconductor device less subject to fatigue failure at the connection part of the lead frame (6).

  • Patent number: 6700194
    Abstract: A semiconductor device which satisfies both the requirements for radiation performance and for miniaturization while having a semiconductor element for a heavy current. The semiconductor device has an IGBT element (1) and diode element (2) which are provided on the main surface of the heat spreader (25) in a strip form formed of a metal with excellent heat conductivity and electricity conductivity. In addition, a relay terminal block (20) is provided outside of the IGBT element (1) on the main surface of the heat spreader (25) and the relay terminal block (20), the IGBT element (1) and the diode element (2) are aligned. Then, the external connection electrode plates (81) and (82) are, respectively, provided on both sides of this alignment.
