Abstract
Provided is a semiconductor module comprising a power semiconductor chip, a base, an insulating substrate bonded to the base, a semiconductor chip bonded to the insulating substrate, and a case adhered to the base by means of an adhesive. The semiconductor module has a low variability but a high assembly quality and reliability enabling a decrease in stress between the case and an adhered portion of the base. The base includes a plate-like first material, and a second material coating the first material and having a linear coefficient of expansion greater than that of the first material. The case covers at least part of a side surface of the base and is adhered to the base at least on an upper surface of the base by means of the adhesive, and a linear expansion coefficient of the case is larger than the linear expansion coefficient of the first material.
