Abstract
A housing for a semiconductor device is improved to avoid thermal distortion. The housing is formed of an Al-Si compound material and includes a housing member having a space for holding the semiconductor device. Occlusion gas contained in the Al-Si compound material is removed so that at least any nitrogen gas remaining in occlusion after degassing is 0.1 percent by weight or less. Since the housing member substantially does not contain occlusion gas, the housing is not subject to thermal distortion even though the housing is exposed to heat in operation.
