Abstract

A power semiconductor module device includes: a plurality of semiconductor elements that are arranged at intervals and flush with each other on a plane; an insulating support that fixes the semiconductor elements; a first thick-film plating layer that is formed as a first-surface-side electrode that electrically connects the semiconductor elements to each other on at least one surface of a front surface side and a rear surface side. The first thick-film plating layer supports the semiconductor elements from at least one of an upper direction and a lower direction.
