Abstract
A semiconductor apparatus includes a semiconductor module, a substrate having a control unit that controls an operation of the semiconductor module, a busbar that allows a current to flow through the semiconductor module, and a shield arranged between at least respective opposing surfaces of the control unit and the busbar that oppose to each other.
Claims5
A semiconductor apparatus, comprising:
- a semiconductor module;
- a substrate having a control unit disposed thereon, the control unit being configured to control an operation of the semiconductor module;
- a busbar having a flat plate shape with first and second main surfaces opposite to each other in a thickness direction of the busbar, and being configured to allow a current to flow through the semiconductor module, the busbar being arranged such that the first main surface of the busbar faces and is parallel to a first surface of the control unit;
- and
- a shield having a plate shape and having main surfaces opposite to each other in a thickness direction thereof, the shield being arranged between the control unit and the busbar, such that the main surfaces of the shield respectively face and are parallel to the first main surface of the busbar and the first surface of the control unit, so as to overlap each other when viewed from the thickness direction of the busbar, wherein
- the busbar includes a first portion that extends in parallel to the first surface of the control unit and a second portion that is bent in a direction toward the control unit so as to extend in parallel to a second surface of the control unit, the first and second surfaces of the control unit forming an acute angle between them;
- and
- the shield includes a first shield member arranged between the first surface of the control unit and a surface of the first portion of the busbar, which face each other, and a second shield member arranged between, and parallel to, the second surface of the control unit and a surface of the second portion of the busbar.
