Abstract
Provided is a technique of reducing detachment of a sealing resin in a semiconductor device, thereby achieving an increased improvement in lifetime of the semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes the following: an insulating substrate; a metal block disposed on the upper surface of the insulating substrate; a semiconductor element mounted on the upper surface of the metal block; a case enclosing the semiconductor element, the metal block, and the insulating substrate; and a sealing resin sealing the semiconductor element and the metal block. The metal block includes at least one groove on a surface of the metal block, the surface being in contact with the sealing resin. The opening of the at least one groove has a width narrower than a width of the bottom surface of the at least one groove.
