Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a plurality of semiconductor elements; insulating circuit boards each including an insulating substrate, a circuit portion on a front surface of the insulating substrate connected to one semiconductor element, and a metal portion on a rear surface of the insulating substrate; a metal plate joined to the metal portions of the plurality of insulating circuit boards; and a joint member joining the plurality of insulating circuit boards to the metal plate. The metal plate has a front surface in which the insulating circuit boards are arranged apart from each other, and a rear surface including first regions corresponding to positions of the metal portions and second regions other than the first regions. At least a part of a surface of each of the first regions has a surface work-hardened layer, and the second regions have a hardness different from that of the surface work-hardened layer.
