AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The occurrence of cracks in main terminals of semiconductor devices due to stress concentration at the transition from a narrow to a wide portion, caused by ultrasonic bonding, is a significant issue.

Method used

The design of a main terminal with a narrow portion extending over a vertical and bent portion, followed by a wide portion that does not overlap with the bent portion, distributes stress and reduces the likelihood of cracks.

Benefits of technology

This design effectively suppresses the occurrence of cracks in the main terminals, stabilizes the semiconductor device, extends its lifespan, and reduces heat generation, while allowing for miniaturization and cost reduction.

Abstract

To provide a semiconductor device that suppresses the occurrence of cracks in the main terminals. [Solution] In a semiconductor device, the main terminal (140) has a narrow portion (140-1) including a vertical portion (142) that extends perpendicularly to the mounting surface of the semiconductor element on the laminated substrate, and a wide portion (140-2) in which the width in the width direction (D) of the main terminal (140) is wider than that of the narrow portion (140-1) (W2>W1). The narrow portion (140-1) is located on one end side of the wide portion (140-2) in the width direction (D). The main terminal (140) is provided with an extended portion (143) that extends outward from the laminated substrate, separated by a bent portion (C2), from the end of the vertical portion (142) opposite to the laminated substrate. The narrow portion (140-1) extends over at least the vertical portion (142), the curved portion (C2), and a part of the extended portion (143), and the wide portion (140-2) extends over at least another part of the extended portion (143) that is different from the aforementioned part.
