Abstract
A semiconductor device according to the present invention includes a substrate made of an electrically insulative material having a relatively high thermal conductivity, a metallic pattern member provided on one major surface of the substrate and having an external terminal portion extending from the substrate, a semiconductor element mounted on the metallic pattern member, a metallic layer provided on the other major surface of the substrate, a heat dissipation plate fixed onto the metallic layer, and a mold body for coating both the substrate mounted with the semiconductor element and the heat dissipation plate so as to expose the external terminal portion. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to the present invention includes a step of mounting a semiconductor element on a metallic pattern member provided on one major surface of a substrate made of an electrically insulative material having a relatively high thermal conductivity, the substrate having a metallic layer on the other major surface thereof, a step of fixing a heat dissipation plate onto the metallic layer, and a step of coating both the substrate mounted with the semiconductor element and the heat dissipation plate with an insulative material so as to expose the external terminal portion.
