    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, including preparing a heat-dissipating base, performing a first initial warping or a second initial warping of the heat-dissipating base, soldering a laminated substrate, including a circuit board provided on an insulating board, on the heat-dissipating base after the first or second initial warping, and soldering a semiconductor chip on the circuit board. The first initial warping includes performing shot peening on the rear surface of the heat-dissipating base to form a hardened layer, and subsequently plating the front and rear surfaces of the heat-dissipating base, including the hardened layer formed thereon, with a metal material. The second initial warping includes plating the front and rear surfaces of the heat-dissipating base with the metal material to form a plating layer, and subsequently performing the shot peening on the rear surface of the heat-dissipating base, including the plating layer formed thereon, with the metal material.

  • Patent number: 9437527
    Abstract: A resin casing is insert-molded while clamp protrusions of clamp portions formed in bonding portions of lead terminals are put between an upper mold and a lower mold. An insulating substrate which has a wiring pattern mounted with semiconductor elements is fitted into an opening portion of the resin casing and adhesively bonded to the resin casing. Electric connection between the semiconductor elements and the bonding portions of the lead terminals and between the wiring pattern on the insulating substrate and the bonding portions of the lead terminals is made by bonding wires. Thus, it is possible to provide a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device and the semiconductor device, in which stress applied to lead terminals of a lead frame formed by insert molding can be suppressed, and wire bonding properties and reliability can be improved even when the thickness of each of the lead terminals is reduced.
