Abstract

An object is to provide a technique in which a cost reduction in a power semiconductor device can be achieved while maintaining heat dissipation performance as much as possible. A power semiconductor device includes a leadframe, a power semiconductor element disposed on an upper surface of the leadframe, and an insulating layer disposed on a lower surface of the leadframe. At least a partial line of a peripheral line of a region where the insulating layer is disposed, on the lower surface, is aligned, in top view, with at least a partial line of an expanded peripheral line obtained by shifting outwardly, by the amount corresponding to the thickness of the leadframe, the peripheral line of the region where the power semiconductor element is disposed, on the upper surface.

Claims (22)

1. A power semiconductor device comprising:

a leadframe;

a power semiconductor element disposed on a first main surface of said leadframe; and

an insulating member disposed on a second main surface, opposite to said first main surface, of said leadframe,

wherein at least an edge of said insulating member is aligned, in top view, with at least a partial line of an expanded peripheral line, said expanded peripheral line being obtained by shifting outwardly, by an amount corresponding to a thickness of said leadframe, a peripheral line of a region where said semiconductor element is disposed, on said first main surface.

2. The power semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein

another edge of said insulating member is positioned, in top view, outside a remaining line of said expanded peripheral line.

3. The power semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein

said one insulating member is disposed on said second main surface of said one leadframe while corresponding to all of a plurality of said semiconductor elements disposed on said one leadframe, and

said expanded peripheral line is obtained by shifting outwardly, by the amount corresponding to the thickness of said leadframe, a peripheral line of a region where all of said plurality of semiconductor elements are disposed, on said first main surface.

4. The power semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein

a plurality of said insulating members are disposed on said second main surface of said one leadframe while corresponding one-to-one to a plurality of said semiconductor elements disposed on said one leadframe.

5. The power semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein

said one insulating member is disposed on said second main surfaces of a plurality of said leadframes while corresponding to all of a plurality of said semiconductor elements in row units disposed on said plurality of leadframes, and

said expanded peripheral line is obtained by shifting outwardly, by the amount corresponding to the thickness of said leadframes, a peripheral line of a region where all of said plurality of semiconductor elements in the row units are disposed, on said first main surfaces of said plurality of leadframes.

6. The power semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein

a plurality of said insulating members are disposed on said second main surfaces of a plurality of said leadframes while corresponding one-to-one to a plurality of said semiconductor elements in row units disposed on said plurality of leadframes, and

said expanded peripheral line is obtained by shifting outwardly, by the amount corresponding to the thickness of said leadframes, a peripheral line of a region where said semiconductor elements in a corresponding row unit are disposed, on said first main surface of each of said leadframes.

7. The power semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein

an end of said leadframe is bent from a side of said insulating member to a side of said semiconductor element.

8. The power semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein

a through-hole that passes through said first main surface at a location where said semiconductor element is not disposed and through said second main surface at a location where said insulating member is not disposed is provided in said leadframe.
