Abstract: A semiconductor device may include: an upper conductive plate, a middle conductive plate, and a lower conductive plate which are stacked on each other; a first semiconductor chip located between the upper and middle conductive plates and electrically connected to both the upper and middle; a second semiconductor chip located between the middle and lower conductive plates and electrically connected to both the middle and lower conductive plates; and an encapsulant encapsulating the first and second semiconductor chips and integrally holding the upper, middle and lower conductive plates. The middle conductive plate may include a main portion joined to the first and second semiconductor chips within the encapsulant and an exposed portion exposed outside on a surface of the encapsulant. A thickness of the exposed portion may be equal to or greater than a thickness of the main portion.
