  • Patent number: 11271352
    Abstract: The object is to provide a technology capable of increasing the reliability of a power semiconductor device. A power semiconductor device includes: a substrate including an insulating layer and a circuit pattern that are disposed in this order; a power semiconductor element electrically connected to the circuit pattern; and an electrode terminal having a thinned portion including a welded portion welded to the circuit pattern by a fiber laser. A thickness of the circuit pattern is not less than 0.2 and not more than 0.5 mm, and a thickness of the thinned portion of the electrode terminal is not less than one time and not more than two times the thickness of the circuit pattern.
