Abstract
It is an object of the present invention to provide a semiconductor module that reduces an excessive stress on a sealed object due to the expansion and contraction of a sealing gel to thus improve the reliability. A semiconductor module according to the present invention includes: a semiconductor element bonded to a metal pattern on an insulating substrate contained in a case; a sealing gel sealing the insulating substrate and the semiconductor element within the case; and a sealing-gel-expansion suppressing plate disposed in the upper portion of the sealing gel to be at least partially in contact with the sealing gel. The sealing-gel-expansion suppressing plate includes a surface facing the sealing gel and inclined to the upper surface of the sealing gel.
