Abstract: A power module includes an insulating substrate, a heat dissipation member, and an electrode plate. An IGBT and a diode are mounted on the insulating substrate. The heat dissipation member is bonded to the insulating substrate by first solder. The electrode plate is disposed so as to overlap at least a part of the semiconductor element. The main surface of the insulating substrate is curved so as to have a shape convex toward the heat dissipation member. The first solder is thicker at the edges than at the center in a plan view. The semiconductor element is bonded to the electrode plate by second solder.

Abstract: An object is to provide a technique capable of suppressing an occurrence of a non-filled portion. A semiconductor device includes a base plate, a case, and a semiconductor element. The semiconductor element is disposed in a space of the base plate and the case. The semiconductor device includes a lead electrode. The lead electrode is connected to an upper surface of the semiconductor element in the space. The semiconductor device includes a raised portion.

The sealing resin seals the semiconductor element and the lead electrode in the space.

Abstract: A manipulator system includes a manipulator unit to pick up one object from objects placed on a first place, a recognition unit to perform a first recognition process recognizing the one object to be picked up from the first place, and a second recognition process recognizing an orientation of the one object picked up from the first place, and a controller to control a first transfer operation, and a second transfer operation. When the first transfer operation is performed, the controller instructs the manipulator unit to pick up and move the one object recognized by the first recognition process to an outside of the first place. When the second transfer operation is performed, the controller instructs the manipulator unit to transfer the one object to a second place by setting the orientation of the one object with an orientation determined based on a recognition result of the second recognition process.
