Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a metal body; a bonding layer placed on the metal body; and a semiconductor chip placed on the bonding layer. The bonding layer includes a filler-containing first layer formed between the metal body and the semiconductor chip and a second layer bonded to the first layer and the semiconductor chip. The second layer has a thermal expansion coefficient higher than that of the first layer.
