Abstract
In the present invention, by virtue of heat buffer plates respectively located on the major surfaces of IGBT chips and FRD chips arranged in a single plane, the total thickness of each chip and a corresponding one of the heat can be set to a substantially predetermined value. A thickness-correcting member having elongated projections corresponding to the chips is provided on those surfaces of the heat buffer plates which is remote from the chips. A heat buffer disk plate is provided on those surfaces of the chips which are opposite to the major surfaces thereof. The thickness-correcting member, the heat buffer plates and the IGBT and FRD chips are held and simultaneously pressed between an emitter press-contact electrode plate and a collector press-contact electrode plate. Before using the device, a force of press, which is higher than that applied at the time of using the device and can plastically deform the thickness-correcting member, is applied to the emitter press-contact electrode plate and the collector press-contact electrode plate, thereby correcting variations in total thickness of each semiconductor chip and a corresponding one of the heat buffer plates.
