Abstract
The reliability of a semiconductor device is improved. A semiconductor device has a first metal plate and a second metal plate electrically isolated from the first metal plate. Over the first metal plate, a first semiconductor chip including a transistor element formed thereover is mounted. Whereas, over the second metal plate, a second semiconductor chip including a diode element formed thereover is mounted. Further, the semiconductor device has a lead group including a plurality of leads electrically coupled with the first semiconductor chip or the second semiconductor chip. The first and second metal plates are arranged along the X direction in which the leads are arrayed. Herein, the area of the peripheral region of the first semiconductor chip in the first metal plate is set larger than the area of the peripheral region of the second semiconductor chip in the second metal plate.
