A semiconductor module includes a substrate, two bare chips (semiconductor elements) mounted on the substrate, and a case fixed to the substrate. A conductor pattern and five signal patterns are provided for each bare chip on an upper surface of an insulating substrate. Signal electrodes and the signal patterns of the bare chips are connected to by conductive plates. An insulating member is provided on connecting portions of the conductive plates.

Semiconductor module

An electronic device includes a heat dissipation member, a power element that is thermally coupled to the heat dissipation member, and a first conductive layer to which the power element is electrically coupled. The electronic device further includes a control element that controls a switching operation of the power element, a second conductive layer to which the control element is electrically coupled, and a resin layer arranged between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer. The power element is embedded in the resin layer. The first conductive layer, the resin layer, and the second conductive layer are stacked on the heat dissipation member in this order from the ones closer to the heat dissipation member.

Electronic device

A semiconductor unit includes a cooler having a fluid flow space, an insulating substrate bonded to the cooler through a metal, a semiconductor device soldered to the insulating substrate, an intermediate member interposed between the insulating substrate and the fluid flow space and having a first surface where the insulating substrate is mounted, and a mold resin having a lower coefficient of liner expansion than the intermediate member. The insulating substrate, the semiconductor device and the cooler are molded by the mold resin. The intermediate member has a second surface that extends upward or downward relative to the first surface. The first surface is covered by the mold resin. The second surface is covered by a resin cover.

Semiconductor unit with cooler

A semiconductor unit includes a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer electrically insulated from the first conductive layer, a first semiconductor device mounted on the first conductive layer, a second semiconductor device mounted on the second conductive layer, a first bus bar for electrical connection of the second semiconductor device to the first conductive layer, and a second bus bar for electrical connection of the first semiconductor device to one of the positive and negative terminals of a battery. The first bus bar is disposed in overlapping relation to the second bus bar in such a manner that mold resin fills between the first bus bar and the second bus bar.

Semiconductor unit

A semiconductor unit includes a base having a surface where a first insulation layer is disposed, a second insulation layer spaced apart from the first insulation layer to form a region therebetween and disposed parallel to the surface of the base where the first insulation layer is disposed, a single conductive layer disposed across the first insulation layer and the second insulation layer, and a semiconductor device bonded to the conductive layer.

A semiconductor unit includes an insulation layer, a conductive layer bonded to one side of the insulation layer, a semiconductor device mounted on the conductive layer, a cooler thermally coupled to the other side of the insulation layer, a first bus bar having a bonding surface bonded to the semiconductor device or the conductive layer and a non-bonding surface that is the part of the first bus bar other than the bonding surface, and a second bus bar having a bonding surface bonded to the semiconductor device or the conductive layer and a non-bonding surface that is the part of the second bus bar other than the bonding surface. The second bus bar has a greater ratio of the area of the bonding surface to the area of the non-bonding surface than the first bus bar. The second bus bar has a lower electric resistance than the first bus bar.
