Semiconductor module

Abstract

This invention provides a semiconductor module that reduces the area occupied by the circuitry mounted on it. The semiconductor module includes a first semiconductor element and a second semiconductor element, each having a source electrode and a gate electrode on one side and a drain electrode on the other side, wherein the second semiconductor element is configured in a flip-over state relative to the first semiconductor element. The semiconductor module also includes electrode terminals respectively connected to the electrodes of the first and second semiconductor elements, wherein a source terminal connected to the source electrode of one semiconductor element and a drain terminal connected to the drain electrode of the other semiconductor element are arranged adjacent to each other.
