Abstract
It is an object of the present invention to provide a semiconductor module in which a bonded portion has high reliability, and that has a small area. A semiconductor module includes a plurality of metal plates extending in a horizontal direction and stacked in a vertical direction, at least one switching element, and at least one circuit element. The at least one switching element is bonded between two of the plurality of metal plates, facing each other in a vertical direction. The at least one circuit element is bonded between two of the plurality of metal plates, facing each other in a vertical direction. Disposed between the plurality of metal plates is an insulating material. At least one of the plurality of metal plates is bonded to the at least one switching element and the at least one circuit element.
