Abstract
Provided is a semiconductor module having an integrated insulating sheet structure, wherein detachment of the insulating sheet can be suppressed and improved reliability of the semiconductor module is achieved, by adopting a structure in which at least one location of the insulating sheet is sunken inside a mold, and a sealing resin body and the insulating sheet of the semiconductor module form a protrusion.
Claims10
A semiconductor module, comprising:
- a lead frame which is formed of a plurality of terminals and on which electronic components are mounted;
- an insulating sheet arranged in parallel with the lead frame on a rear surface side of the lead frame with respect to a surface where the electronic components are mounted;
- and
- a resin sealing body which seals the lead frame, the electronic components and the insulating sheet,
- wherein a peripheral portion of the insulating sheet on a rear surface side with respect to a surface in contact with the lead frame is covered by an inwardly extending portion of the resin sealing body, and a central portion of the insulating sheet corresponding to a portion other than the peripheral portion is exposed as a region that is not sealed by the resin sealing body,
- at least one of said plurality of terminals is extended to the outside of the resin sealing body and have a surface above said insulating sheet and in substantially the same plane as a surface of said lead frame in contact with said insulating sheet,
- a distance by which said inwardly extending portion extends inwardly beyond an edge of said insulating sheet is greater in a position underlying said at least one terminal than in other positions not underlying said at least one terminal;
- and
- taking a resin width when the resin sealing body seals the peripheral portion to be t2, and for said at least one terminal extended to the outside of the resin body, taking a terminal width of the one terminal included inside the resin sealing body to be t3, the sealing by the resin sealing body is carried out in such a manner that at least one location satisfies the relationship:
- t3>t2.
