Abstract

A semiconductor module such that warping or distortion is prevented, and reliability can be increased, is obtained. The semiconductor module includes a base configuring a multiple of terminals or wires, a semiconductor switching element mounted on a mounting portion of the terminal, and a molded resin that seals the semiconductor switching element, wherein a wide portion having a width greater than that of the terminal or the wire is formed in one portion of the terminal or the wire in an outer peripheral side end portion of the molded resin, and the wide portion is embedded and fixed in an interior of the molded resin in a state extended toward the interior from the outer peripheral side end portion of the molded resin.

Claims (17)

1. A semiconductor module, comprising:

a base configuring a plurality of terminals or wires;

a semiconductor switching element mounted on a mounting portion of the terminal; and

a molded resin that seals the semiconductor switching element, wherein

a wide portion having a width greater than that of the terminal or the wire is a reinforcing member and formed in one portion of the terminal or the wire in an outer peripheral side end portion of the molded resin, and

the wide portion is embedded and fixed in an interior of the molded resin in a state extended toward the interior from the outer peripheral side end portion of the molded resin,

wherein one portion of the wide portion is formed protruding from an external side face of the molded resin.

2. The semiconductor module according to claim 1 , wherein the wide portion is formed to be wider than a wiring width compatible with an amount of current flowing through the terminal or the wire.

3. The semiconductor module according to claim 1 , wherein a recessed portion or a hole portion is provided in one portion of the wide portion and the molded resin.

4. The semiconductor module according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of terminals comprises a small signal terminal and a large current terminal that conducts a greater current than does the small signal terminal, and the wide portion is provided in a ground wire disposed neighboring the small signal terminal or the large current terminal.

5. The semiconductor module according to claim 1 , wherein the wide portion extends along one side of the molded resin, and is disposed in both end portions of the outer peripheral side end portion of the molded resin.

6. The semiconductor module according to claim 2 , wherein a recessed portion or a hole portion is provided in one portion of the wide portion and the molded resin.

7. The semiconductor module according to claim 2 , wherein the plurality of terminals comprises a small signal terminal and a large current terminal that conducts a greater current than does the small signal terminal, and the wide portion is provided in a ground wire disposed neighboring the small signal terminal or the large current terminal.

8. The semiconductor module according to claim 2 , wherein the wide portion extends along one side of the molded resin, and is disposed in both end portions of the outer peripheral side end portion of the molded resin.

9. The semiconductor module according to claim 3 , wherein the plurality of terminals comprises a small signal terminal and a large current terminal that conducts a greater current than does the small signal terminal, and the wide portion is provided in a ground wire disposed neighboring the small signal terminal or the large current terminal.

10. The semiconductor module according to claim 3 , wherein the wide portion extends along one side of the molded resin, and is disposed in both end portions of the outer peripheral side end portion of the molded resin.

11. The semiconductor module according to claim 4 , wherein the wide portion extends along one side of the molded resin, and is disposed in both end portions of the outer peripheral side end portion of the molded resin.
