  • Patent number: 10475727
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes an electrode plate, a metallic member, and solder connecting the metallic member with the electrode plate. On a surface of the electrode plate, a first groove and a group of second grooves are provided. The first groove has first to fourth linear parts. The group of second grooves is arranged within a range surrounded by the first groove, and has end portions on an outer periphery side that are connected with the first groove. The group of second grooves includes first to fourth sets. Each of the sets includes a plurality of second grooves connected with the first to fourth linear parts. When the metallic member is seen in a lamination direction of the electrode plate and the metallic member, an outer peripheral edge of a region of the metallic member, the region being connected with the solder, goes across the first to fourth sets.

  • Patent number: 10396008
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first metal plate and a second metal plate which interpose a first semiconductor element therebetween, the first metal plate and the second metal plate being bonded to the first semiconductor element with first soldered portions; and includes a third metal plate and a fourth metal plate which interpose a second semiconductor element therebetween, the third metal plate and the fourth metal plate being bonded to the second semiconductor element with second soldered portions. A first joint provided at an edge of the first metal plate and a second joint provided at an edge of the fourth metal plate are bonded with a third soldered portion. A total sum of thicknesses of the first soldered portions is different from a thickness of the third soldered portion, a solidifying point of the thinner one is higher than a solidifying point of the thicker one.
