Abstract
Provided are a semiconductor device which is provided with a circuit board and capable of suppressing an increase in its footprint, and a power conversion apparatus including the semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes a circuit board, a power semiconductor element, an insulating block, a control signal terminal, a first main terminal, and a second main terminal. The insulating block is disposed so as to surround the power semiconductor element. The control signal terminal is inserted into the insulating block and thereby fixed to the insulating block. The control signal terminal includes a bent portion which partially protrudes above the power semiconductor element from the insulating block, and is bonded to the power semiconductor element. The first main terminal is bonded to the same power semiconductor element as the power semiconductor element to which the control signal terminal is bonded. The second main terminal is bonded to the circuit board.
