Patent number: 8860220Abstract: An ultrasonic welding tool is used to bond end portions of an external connection terminal to circuit patterns of an insulating substrate, with a Vickers hardness not lower than 90. Bonding end portions are provided integrally with a bar in the external connection terminal. A bonding end portion located substantially in the lengthwise center of the bar is bonded first, then others are bonded alternately in order toward either end. Hardness of the bonding end portions is increased so that strength of the ultrasonic welding portions is increased, and displacement of the bonding end portion in either end from its regular position is suppressed to keep bonding strength high. Bonding strength of the ultrasonic welding portions between the external connection terminal and the circuit patterns of the insulating substrate can be increased so that long-term reliability can be secured in a semiconductor device.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2013Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Fuji Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Fumihiko Momose, Kazumasa Kido, Yoshitaka Nishimura, Fumio Shigeta
