A semiconductor device comprises: a semiconductor chip; a first frame; a solder layer which bonds the solder bonding metal layer of the semiconductor chip and the first frame; and a second frame bonded to the rear face of the semiconductor chip. The semiconductor chip includes: a semiconductor substrate; a first metal layer provided on a major surface of the semiconductor substrate and forming a Schottky junction with the semiconductor substrate; a second metal layer provided on the first metal layer and primarily composed of aluminum; a third metal layer provided on the second metal layer and primarily composed of molybdenum or titanium; and a solder bonding metal layer provided on the third metal layer and including at least a fourth metal layer which is primarily composed of nickel, iron or cobalt.
