Abstract
A semiconductor device includes an assembly configured such that a plurality of semiconductor modules is connected by a component. Each of the plurality of semiconductor modules includes a semiconductor element including a front-surface electrode fixing a front-surface electrode plate and a back-surface electrode fixing a back-surface electrode plate, wherein the component is either of a first component and a second component. The first component being configured to connect adjacent semiconductor modules to each other such that a front-surface electrode plate of one of the adjacent semiconductor modules is connected to a back-surface electrode plate of the other one of the adjacent semiconductor modules. The second component is configured to connect adjacent semiconductor modules such that respective front-surface electrode plates are connected and respective back-surface electrode plates are connected. The semiconductor modules are connected by the first component or the second component.
