Abstract
An object of the present disclosure is to suppress variation in currents flowing through semiconductor elements and thereby to achieve size reduction of the semiconductor elements. The semiconductor power module includes electrode terminals for connecting a first electrode to a first external electric component, a second electrode joined to upper surfaces of a plurality of semiconductor elements, and a second electrode extension portion for connecting the second electrode to a second external electric component. The sum of a current path length from the electrode terminal to the semiconductor element in the first electrode and a current path length from the semiconductor element to a second electrode terminal portion in the second electrode, is set to be the same among the plurality of semiconductor elements.
