  • Publication number: 20230402432
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes a substrate, a mounting layer, switching elements, a moisture-resistant layer and a sealing resin. The substrate has a front surface facing in a thickness direction. The mounting layer is electrically conductive and disposed on the front surface. Each switching element includes an element front surface facing in the same direction in which the front surface faces along the thickness direction, a back surface facing in the opposite direction of the element front surface, and a side surface connected to the element front surface and the back surface. The switching elements are electrically bonded to the mounting layer with their back surfaces facing the front surface. The moisture-resistant layer covers at least one side surface. The sealing resin covers the switching elements and the moisture-resistant layer.

  • Patent number: 11127662
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a semiconductor device. The device includes first and second substrates, first mounting layers, second mounting layers, power supply terminals, an output terminal, electroconductive coupling members and switching elements. The first substrate has first obverse and reverse surfaces facing in a thickness direction. The second substrate has a second obverse surface facing as the first obverse surface faces in the thickness direction and a second reverse surface facing away from the second obverse surface. The second substrate is spaced from the first substrate in a first direction crossing the thickness direction. The first mounting layers are electrically conductive and disposed on the first obverse surface. The second mounting layers are electrically conductive and disposed on the second obverse surface. The power supply terminals are electrically connected to the first mounting layers. The output terminal is connected to one of the second mounting layers.
