  • Patent number: 7944042
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes an outer resin case having a peripheral wall and terminal mounting holes formed in the peripheral wall, and a layer assembly provided in the outer resin case. The layer assembly includes a semiconductor chip, an insulating circuit board on which the semiconductor chip is mounted, and a heat-dissipating metal base. External terminals having leg portions are arranged in mounting holes of the peripheral wall, and are press-fitted into the terminal-mounting holes. Bonding wires connect the terminal leg portions and a conductive pattern of the insulating circuit board or the semiconductor chip.

  • Publication number: 20100295187
    Abstract: A semiconductor device which can prevent a deterioration in the electrical properties by preventing sputters generated by laser welding from adhering to a circuit pattern or a semiconductor chip and a method for fabricating such a semiconductor device are provided. A connection conductor is bonded to a copper foil formed over a ceramic by a solder and resin is injected to a level lower than a top of the connection conductor. Laser welding is then performed. After that, resin is injected. This prevents sputters generated by the laser welding from adhering to a circuit pattern or a semiconductor chip. As a result, a deterioration in the electrical properties can be prevented.
