Abstract: A power semiconductor device includes a power semiconductor element, a controlling element, a first lead frame and a second lead frame, respectively, a first metal wire electrically connecting the power semiconductor element and the first lead frame, and a sealing body covering these components. The first lead frame includes a first inner lead having a connecting surface to which one end of the first metal wire is connected. Among surfaces of the sealing body, in a side surface, a resin inlet mark is formed in a side surface portion from which the first lead frame and the second lead frame do not project, the resin inlet mark being greater in surface roughness than another area. The resin inlet mark is formed opposite to a side where the first metal wire is positioned on the connecting surface when seen in the direction along the mounting surface.

Abstract: A power semiconductor element is fixed on a die pad of the lead frame. A metal plate is bonded to a lower surface of the die pad via an insulating film. The inner lead etc. are disposed in a cavity between a lower mold and an upper mold and are encapsulated with an encapsulation resin. The lower mold has a stepped portion provided in a bottom surface of the cavity below the inner lead. A height of an upper surface of the stepped portion is larger than a height of an upper surface of the power semiconductor element disposed in the cavity. When an encapsulation resin is injected into the cavity, a lower surface of the metal plate is in contact with the bottom surface of the cavity, and the encapsulation resin flows downward from above the stepped portion toward the upper surface of the power semiconductor element.
