Abstract
A semiconductor module includes a semiconductor device, a first conductive member, a second conductive member, a cylinder, and a cover. The first conductive member is in contact with a first electrode of the semiconductor device. The second conductive member is in contact with a second electrode of the semiconductor device. The cylinder encompasses the semiconductor device and is fixed to the first conductive member, and a first thread groove is formed on the cylinder. A second thread groove is formed on the cover. The cover is fixed to the cylinder by an engagement of the second thread groove with the first thread groove. The semiconductor device and the second conductive member are fixed by being sandwiched between the first conductive member and the cover. The second conductive member includes a portion extending from inside to outside the cylinder by penetrating an outer peripheral wall of the cylinder.
