  • Patent number: 9337113
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a transistor, lead frames, a metal spacer, one surface of which is bonded to the transistor by a first bonding material and the other surface of which is bonded to the lead frame by a second bonding material, and a plastic mold. The plastic mold packages the transistor and the metal spacer. One surface of each of the lead frames is attached to the plastic mold. Strength of the second bonding material is lower than strength of the first bonding material. According to the above configuration, when stress is repeatedly applied to the semiconductor device, a crack occurs earlier in the second bonding material than in the first bonding material. The stress is buffered at the first bonding material.
