  • Patent number: 9704768
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to achieve reduced faults in manufacturing steps and increased reliability by relieving electric field strength of a surface of a power semiconductor chip. The present invention includes: a power semiconductor chip disposed on an insulating substrate; wiring connected to a surface conductor pattern in an element region of the power semiconductor chip; a low dielectric constant film disposed between the wiring and the peripheral region; and a sealing material formed so as to cover the insulating substrate, the power semiconductor chip, the wiring, and the low dielectric constant film. The low dielectric constant film has a dielectric constant lower than that of the sealing material.
    Type: Grant
