    摘要: The object is to provide a technology that can prevent a spring electrode from being dissolved and broken upon a short circuit in a semiconductor chip. A spring electrode includes a main body. The main body is a tubular conductor, and varies in diameter in a longitudinal direction so that a side surface has bellows. Since the main body of the spring electrode does not include an edge portion, the local concentration of a short-circuit current that flows through the spring electrode upon a short circuit in a semiconductor chip can be reduced. This can prevent the spring electrode from being dissolved and broken.

    摘要: A lower electrode, a semiconductor chip provided on the lower electrode, a pressure pad provided above or below the semiconductor chip, an upper electrode provided on a structure in which the pressure pad is overlapped with the semiconductor chip, and a connection conductor that provides a new current path between the lower electrode and the upper electrode only when a distance between the lower electrode and the upper electrode becomes larger than a predetermined value are provided. The distance between the lower electrode and the upper electrode is variable, and the pressure pad electrically connects the lower electrode and the upper electrode together via the semiconductor chip regardless of the distance between the lower electrode and the upper electrode.
