Abstract:
An electrode surface (32a, 35a) of a horizontal semiconductor chip (32, 35) and a substrate (31) are joined together through a plurality of first joint portions (50, 70) including a plurality of joint portions (7, 51, 71) at which a plurality of electrodes (D, S, G) formed on the electrode surface (32a, 35a) are joined to the substrate (31). A no-electrode surface (32b, 35b) of the horizontal semiconductor chip (32, 35) and a heatsink (33) are joined together through a second joint portion (8) at which the no-electrode surface (32b, 35b) and the heatsink (33) are joined together. In a plan view from a direction normal to a principal surface of the substrate (31), the region defined by the outline of a rough shape of an aggregate of the first joint portions (50, 70) and the region defined by the outline of the second joint portion (8) are the same in position, shape, and size. Accordingly, the tensile forces acting on the no-electrode surface (32b, 35b) and the electrode surface (32a, 35a) of the horizontal semiconductor chip (32, 35) are substantially equal. Thus, warping of the horizontal semiconductor chip (32, 35) can be suppressed. The first joint portions (50, 70) may optionally include one or more dummy joint portions (52, 53, 54, 72, 73, 74) at which the electrode surface (32a, 35a) and the substrate (31) are joined together, without electrical connection of the chip electrodes to the circuit wiring of the substrate (31) at the dummy joint portions (52, 53, 54, 72, 73, 74).
