The present disclosure provides a
semiconductor module that reduces a
surge voltage at the time of turning off a switching element. Having: a first frame that is connected to a lower
surface electrode of the first
semiconductor chip, has a first terminal that protrudes from the
semiconductor module; a second frame that is connected to an upper
surface electrode of the second
semiconductor chip, has a second terminal that protrudes from the semiconductor module; a third frame that is connected to an upper
surface electrode of the first
semiconductor chip and a lower surface
electrode of the second
semiconductor chip, has a third terminal that protrudes from the semiconductor module; a fourth terminal and a fifth terminal that are connected to gate electrodes of the first semiconductor
chip and the second semiconductor
chip and protrude from the semiconductor module, the semiconductor module having at least one of a first relative portion of the second frame and the third frame that is arranged in parallel with respect to a flow direction of a current, and a second relative portion of the first frame on one of the adjacent semiconductor chip groups and the second frame on the other semiconductor chip group that is arranged in parallel with respect to the flow direction of the current.
