  • Patent number: 11063004
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device capable of reducing external stress transmitted to a semiconductor chip through a lead frame. A semiconductor device includes a base plate, a semiconductor element held on the base plate, a housing disposed on the base plate and having a frame shape enclosing the semiconductor element, a terminal section provided in an outer surface of the housing and connectable to an external device, a lead frame that is long and has one end disposed so as to be connectable to the terminal section provided in the housing and another end connected onto the semiconductor element via a bonding material, a sealing material disposed in the housing to seal the lead frame and the semiconductor element, and a fixing section that fixes, in the housing, part of the lead frame to the base plate or the housing.
