A semiconductor device includes an insulator substrate mounted on a base plate, the insulator substrate having an upper electrode, semiconductor chips mounted on the insulator substrate, external terminals for establishing external electrical connections of the semiconductor device, wires for establishing electrical connections among the external terminals, the upper electrode and the semiconductor chips, a case accommodating the insulator substrate, the semiconductor chips, the external terminals and the wires which are sealed by a sealing material filled in the case, a lid for protecting an upper part of the sealing material, and an insulative low electrification covering fitted on each wire, the low electrification covering having a lesser tendency to produce an electric charge buildup than the sealing material.

Semiconductor device

A semiconductor device that includes an insulating substrate having an upper conductor formed on an upper surface thereof and a lower conductor formed on a lower surface of the insulating substrate. The device also includes a semiconductor element mounted on the upper surface of the insulating substrate with an under-element solder therebetween. The device further includes a heat sink whereon the insulating substrate is mounted with an under-substrate solder therebetween. The device additionally includes a silicone gel covering the semiconductor element, the under-element solder, and the upper conductor. In addition, the device includes a filler covering the lower conductor and the under-substrate solder, without covering the semiconductor element, the under-element solder, and the upper conductor, and having a thermal conductivity larger than a thermal conductivity of air and a fluidity higher than a fluidity of the silicone gel.

Semiconductor device having filler with thermal conductive particles

A first insulating substrate is formed on a heat sink, and a semiconductor element is formed thereon. An insulating resin casing is formed so as to cover the first insulating substrate and the semiconductor element. A second insulating substrate is mounted inside the insulating resin casing apart from the first insulating substrate. On the second insulating substrate, a resistance element that functions as a gate balance resistance is fixed by soldering. The second insulating substrate on which the resistance element was thus mounted was made apart from the first insulating substrate on which the semiconductor element was mounted, and was mounted on the side of the insulating resin casing.
