  • Publication number: 20230064063
    Abstract: Since the solder 106 temporarily remaining in the first region 301 is in a state of being high in curvature, it is in point contact with the semiconductor element 105 at the vertex of the solder 106. Thereafter, the solder 106 is gradually wetted and spread from the center part to the peripheral part and from the first region 301 to the second region 302 while the semiconductor element 105 is pressed against the solder 106. At this time, since the solder 106 wets and spreads while discharging air, generation of voids can be suppressed.

  • Patent number: 10615102
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to improving the bonding strength between a bonding wire and a lead frame bonded to a plurality of semiconductor devices electrically connected in parallel. One end and the other end of a first bonding wire are connected to a control electrode and a first lead frame portion or a bent portion of a first semiconductor device, and one end and the other end of a second bonding wire are connected to a control electrode and a second lead frame portion of a second semiconductor device. The first lead frame portion extends in a direction overlapping with the first semiconductor device from the bent portion toward the side opposite to the first semiconductor device side, and the second lead frame portion extends from the bent portion toward the second semiconductor device side in a direction overlapping with the second semiconductor device.
