A semiconductor apparatus, including an insulated substrate having a first surface and a second surface that are opposite to each other, a semiconductor element that is mounted on the first surface of the insulated substrate, and a cooler for cooling the semiconductor element. The cooler includes a heat dissipation board having a bonding surface and a heat dissipation surface that are opposite to each other, the bonding surface being bonded to the second surface of the insulated substrate, a plurality of fins provided on the heat dissipation surface of the heat dissipation board, and a cooling case having a recess accommodating the plurality of fins, an inner wall surface of the cooling case being in the recess. The heat dissipation surface is provided with a plurality of engagement pieces that position the cooling case by engaging portions of the inner wall surface of the cooling case.

Semiconductor apparatus including cooler for cooling semiconductor element

A semiconductor module includes: a first power semiconductor element that includes a first main current electrode; a main body that accommodates therein the first power semiconductor element; and a first main current terminal connectable to the first main current electrode. The main body includes: a top face; a side face that connects to the top face; a bottom face fixable to a cooler; and a recessed portion that is on the side face, and accommodates therein an end portion of an insulating member. The first main current terminal protrudes from the side face of the main body, and includes: a first face; and a second face on an opposite side of the first face. The second face is closer to the bottom face than the first face on the side face. The recessed portion is on the side face between the bottom face and the second face, and is at a position apart from the bottom face.

Semiconductor module and semiconductor apparatus

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor chip, an insulated circuit board including a metal plate, an insulating plate and a circuit pattern, each of which has a rectangular shape, and a spacer part disposed on the periphery of a rear surface of the metal plate including at least one of the four corners thereof. The spacer part protrudes from a rear surface of the metal plate in the thickness direction away from a front surface of the insulated circuit board.

Semiconductor device and method for manufacturing the same
