Abstract
The semiconductor device includes a plurality of semiconductor packages stacked on one another. Each semiconductor package includes a main current electrode terminal disposed in a case section of the semiconductor package, the main current electrode terminal being exposed outside the case section to be electrically connected to an external power supply. The main current electrode terminal extends in the stack direction of the semiconductor packages, and embedded in the case section at a surface portion thereof facing an external surface of the case section. Both end surface portions of the main current electrode terminal in the stack direction respectively reach end surface portions of the case section in the stack direction so that the main current electrode terminals of each adjacent two of the semiconductor packages are in contact with each other when the semiconductor packages are stacked on one another in the stack direction.
