Abstract
A semiconductor device of the invention comprises a semiconductor element provided within a housing, a bonding wire, a sealing resin member covering the semiconductor element and bonding wire, and a sheet member. The sheet member is fixed in the housing and arranged out of contact with the bonding wire, and moreover buried in the sealing resin member. Because the sheet member restrains the sealing resin member from vibrating, the bonding wire is connected with improved reliability. In place of the sheet member, it is possible to use a pillar member fixed on an insulating substrate. The semiconductor device is suitable for use on a mobile body, such as a vehicle, which proceeds with vibrations.
