Abstract

A semiconductor module includes a semiconductor device; a metal plate portion that includes a first surface on a side of the semiconductor device and has a fastening portion at an end thereof; a molded portion that is formed by molding a resin on the semiconductor device and the metal plate portion, a cooling plate portion that is a separate member from the metal plate portion, is provided on a side opposite to the first surface on the side of the semiconductor device, and includes fins on a side opposite to the side of the metal plate portion; wherein the fastening portion of the metal plate portion is exposed out of the molded portion, and the cooling plate portion includes a fastening portion at a position that corresponds to a position of the fastening portion of the metal plate portion.

Claims (13)

1. A semiconductor module comprising:

a semiconductor device;

a metal plate portion that includes a first surface on a side of the semiconductor device;

a molded portion that is formed by molding a resin on the semiconductor device and the metal plate portion;

a cooling plate portion that is a separate member from the metal plate portion, is provided on a side opposite to the first surface on the side of the semiconductor device, and includes fins on a side opposite to the side of the metal plate portion;

a heat sink part that is provided between the semiconductor device and the first surface of the metal plate portion on the side of the semiconductor device; and

an insulating material that is provided between the heat sink part and the first surface of the metal plate portion on the side of the semiconductor device;

the heat sink part and the insulating material are disposed in the molded portion

the insulating material includes an end that extends outwardly with respect to an end of the heat sink part, and

the fins of the metal plate portion are formed at a center side with respect to the end of the heat sink part,

wherein the metal plate portion includes fastening portions provided at opposite ends thereof in a first direction,

the fastening portions of the metal plate portion are formed to have a thickness smaller than a center portion of the metal plate portion, and

the fastening portion of one end of the metal plate portion in the first direction is coplanar with the first surface of the metal plate portion on the side of the semiconductor device, and the fastening portion of another end of the metal plate portion in the first direction is coplanar with a second surface of the metal plate portion on the side of the cooling plate portion.
