    Abstract: In a semiconductor device, a frame includes a first frame portion extending in a direction parallel to a connection surface to be connected to the connection surface and a second frame portion connecting a case and the first frame portion. The first frame portions are divided into a plurality of divided portions. At least one divided portion in the plurality of divided portions in the first frame portions is an elastic portion which can be elastically deformed from a first state where a tip end portion is inclined to be located on a lower side of the connection surface to a second state where the tip end portion extends in a direction parallel to the connection surface. The divided portion as the elastic portion is connected to the connection surface while being elastically deformed from the first state to the second state.
