Abstract
An object is to provide a semiconductor device in which heat generated in a lead electrode when conducting a large current can be reduced and the bonding quality between the lead electrode and a semiconductor element can be inspected easily. A semiconductor device includes: a base portion; a semiconductor element mounted on the base portion; a metal part erect with respect to the semiconductor element and having one end bonded, with a bonding material, to a principal surface of the semiconductor element opposite to another principal surface of the semiconductor element mounted on the base portion; and a lead electrode connected to the semiconductor element through the metal part. The lead electrode includes a through hole extending in a thickness direction. The metal part connects the semiconductor element to the lead electrode, while inserted into the through hole of the lead electrode together with a part of the bonding material.
