  • Patent number: 6803667
    Abstract: A semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor element, a heat sink soldered to one surface of the semiconductor element, and a heat sink soldered to an opposite surface of the semiconductor element. The semiconductor element is provided with a wiring layer. The wiring layer is covered with an insulating protective film. The protective film is an organic film. The thickness of the wiring layer and that of the protective film are assumed to be t1 and t2, respectively. The wiring layer and the protective film are formed so as to establish a relationship of t1<t2. An elastic modulus of the protective film at room temperature is adjusted to 1.0-5.0 GPa and a thermal expansion coefficient of the protective film is adjusted to 35-65×10−6/° C. Even under a thermal stress the semiconductor device can diminish a short-circuit defect of the wiring layer.

  • Patent number: 6693350
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first conductive member, a second conductive member, a semiconductor chip, which is located between the conductive members, a bonding member, which is located between the first conductive member and the semiconductor chip, another bonding member, which is located between the second conductive member and the semiconductor chip, a molding resin, which is located between the first and second conductive members to seal the semiconductor chip, and a bonding member anti-sticking means, which is located between the molding resin and a surface of one member selected from the group consisting of the semiconductor chip and the conductive members. The bonding member anti-sticking means prevents the bonding members from sticking to the surface in the manufacturing process. As a result, the otherwise insufficient connection due to the sticking between the molding resin and the surface is improved, and the semiconductor device becomes durable in electric performance.
