Abstract: A semiconductor device includes an insulating substrate formed by integrating a ceramic base plate and a cooling fin; a multiple of plate interconnection members; and a plurality of semiconductor elements. The one faces of the semiconductor elements are bonded to the ceramic base plate of the insulating substrate with a chip-bottom solder, and the other faces thereof are bonded to the plate-interconnection members with a chip-top solder so that plate interconnection members correspond respectively to the semiconductor elements. The chip-bottom solder and the chip-top solder both contain mainly Sn and 0.3-3 wt. % Ag and 0.5-1 wt. % Cu. This allows the semiconductor device to be reduced in size without impairing heat dissipation.
