Abstract
Description
Semiconductor device manufacturing method, semiconductor device and vehicle
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, a semiconductor device obtained by the manufacturing method, and a vehicle equipped with the semiconductor device.
[0002] Conventionally, semiconductor devices equipped with semiconductor elements (such as MOSFETs and IGBTs) having switching functions have been widely known and are primarily used for power conversion. Patent Document 1 discloses an example of such a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device disclosed in this document includes a substrate (a heat sink in Patent Document 1) on which the semiconductor elements are mounted, a sealing resin (a sealing body in Patent Document 1) that covers a portion of the substrate and the semiconductor elements, and a heat dissipation member (a heat dissipation fin in Patent Document 1) that faces the substrate. The sealing resin is attached to the heat dissipation member via screws. This improves the heat dissipation performance of the semiconductor device.
[0003] In addition to the semiconductor device disclosed in Patent Document 1, a semiconductor device in which a substrate is bonded to a heat dissipation member via a bonding member is also conceivable. In such a semiconductor device, the work of attaching a sealing resin to the heat dissipation member is unnecessary. When bonding the substrate to a heat dissipation member having heat dissipation pins as a heat dissipation part, for example, if bonding is performed while applying pressure using solid-state diffusion bonding or the like, there is a possibility that the heat dissipation pins will buckle due to the pressure.

The semiconductor device A10 further includes a first signal terminal 161, a second signal terminal 162, a third signal terminal 171, a fourth signal terminal 172, two fifth signal terminals 181, two sixth signal terminals 182, two thermistors 23, a first terminal support 61, and a second terminal support 62. For ease of understanding, FIGS. 7 to 9 show views through the sealing resin 50 and omit the heat dissipation member 70. 7 to 9, the transmitted sealing resin 50 is indicated by an imaginary line (two-dot chain line). For ease of understanding, the second conductive member 32 is also omitted from illustration in Fig. 8. For ease of understanding, the first conductive member 31 and the second conductive member 32 are also omitted from illustration in Fig. 9.
[0013] In the description of the semiconductor device A10, for convenience, the normal direction to a main surface 711 of a heat dissipation member 70 (described later) is referred to as the "first direction z." The direction perpendicular to the first direction z is referred to as the "second direction x." The direction perpendicular to both the first direction z and the second direction x is referred to as the "third direction y."
[0014] The semiconductor device A10 converts DC power input to the first power terminal 13 and the two second power terminals 14 into AC power using a plurality of semiconductor elements 20. The converted AC power is input from each of the two third power terminals 15 to a power supply target such as a motor.
[0015] The heat dissipation member 70 is used to cool the semiconductor device A10. The heat dissipation member 70 contains a metal, such as aluminum (Al) or copper (Cu).
[0016] As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 , the heat dissipation member 70 has a base 71 and a heat dissipation portion 72. The base 71 is flat. The base 71 has a main surface 711, multiple end surfaces 712, a back surface 713, and a recess 714. The main surface 711 and the back surface 713 face opposite each other in the first direction z. The main surface 711 faces one side in the first direction z. In the semiconductor device A10, a portion of the main surface 711 is exposed from the sealing resin 50. The back surface 713 faces the other side in the first direction z. The back surface 713 is exposed from the sealing resin 50. Multiple end surfaces 712 are connected to the main surface 711 and the back surface 713. Each of the multiple end surfaces 712 faces a direction perpendicular to the first direction z. Each of the multiple end surfaces 712 is exposed from the sealing resin 50. 17 , the base 71 includes a plating layer 71a disposed closest to the main surface 711 in the first direction z. The plating layer 71a is made of silver (Ag). In some cases, the base 71 may not include the plating layer 71a.
[0017] As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 , the heat dissipation portion 72 is connected to the base portion 71. The heat dissipation portion 72 protrudes from the rear surface 713 toward the other side in the first direction z. In the semiconductor device A10, the heat dissipation portion 72 is a plurality of rod-shaped heat dissipation pins 721 extending in the first direction z. As shown in FIG. 6 , each of the plurality of heat dissipation pins 721 has a circular cross section perpendicular to the first direction z. The plurality of heat dissipation pins 721 are arranged in a staggered manner as viewed in the first direction. That is, the plurality of heat dissipation pins 721 are arranged at equal intervals apart from one another in the second direction x, and rows aligned in the second direction x are arranged alternately with their positions in the second direction x shifted from adjacent rows. As viewed in the first direction z, the heat dissipation portion 72 is located inward of the periphery 501 of the sealing resin 50.
[0018] As shown in FIGS. 10 , 11 , 14 , and 15 , the recess 714 of the base 71 is recessed from the back surface 713 to one side in the first direction z. As shown by dotted lines in FIG. 6 , the recess 714 is disposed between the multiple heat dissipation pins 721 on the back surface 713. In the semiconductor device A10, the recesses 714 are connected together. As shown in FIG. 6 , a portion of the back surface 713 is located between the recess 714 and the heat dissipation pin 721 when viewed in the first direction z. In this embodiment, the area S1 of the bottom surface of the recess 714, which is the surface facing the other side in the first direction z, is larger than the area S2 obtained by adding together the areas of the tip surfaces of the multiple heat dissipation pins 721, which are the surfaces facing the other side in the first direction z. It is desirable that the area S1 be at least twice the area S2. The area S1 may be equal to or smaller than the area S2. The recess 714 is formed by pressing a mold for fixing the heat dissipation member 70 against the base 71 in the step of joining the substrate 11 to the main surface 711 of the heat dissipation member 70 in the manufacturing process described below.
[0019] As shown in Figures 6, 10, 11, 14, and 15, the base 71 of the heat dissipation member 70 is provided with an engagement portion 73 recessed from the main surface 711. A portion of the sealing resin 50 is accommodated in the engagement portion 73. As shown in Figures 2 and 6, the base 71 of the heat dissipation member 70 is provided with a positioning hole 74 penetrating in the first direction z. The positioning hole 74 is a portion for positioning the heat dissipation member 70 when it is placed in a mold. The number and arrangement of the positioning holes 74 are not limited. If another positioning method is used, the heat dissipation member 70 does not need to have the positioning hole 74.
[0020] 16 , the heat dissipation member 70 has an inner circumferential surface 715 that is connected to the main surface 711 and defines the engagement portion 73. The inner circumferential surface 715 is included in the base portion 71. The sealing resin 50 is in contact with the inner circumferential surface 715.
[0021] As shown in FIGS. 10 , 11 , 14 , and 15 , the sealing resin 50 covers the substrate 11, the first conductive layer 121, the second conductive layer 122, the multiple semiconductor elements 20, the first conductive member 31, and the second conductive member 32. The sealing resin 50 also covers a portion of each of the first power terminal 13, the third power terminal 15, and the second power terminal 14. The sealing resin 50 has electrical insulation properties. The sealing resin 50 is made of a material containing, for example, black epoxy resin. As shown in FIG. 2 , the sealing resin 50 is located inward from the periphery 701 of the heat dissipation member 70 when viewed in the first direction z. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 , the sealing resin 50 has a top surface 51, a bottom surface 52, a first side surface 53, a second side surface 54, and multiple recesses 55.
[0022] 10 , 11 , 14 , and 15 , top surface 51 faces the side where first conductive layer 121 and second conductive layer 122 are located with base material 11 as the reference in first direction z. That is, top surface 51 faces the same side as main surface 711 of heat dissipation member 70 in first direction z. Bottom surface 52 faces the side opposite top surface 51 in first direction z. As shown in FIGS. 10 , 11 , 14 , and 15 , bottom surface 52 is in contact with main surface 711.
[0023] 3 and 4, the first side surface 53 and the second side surface 54 are spaced apart from each other in the second direction x. The first side surface 53 and the second side surface 54 face in opposite directions from each other in the second direction x.
[0024] 2, 4, and 5, each of the multiple recesses 55 is recessed from the top surface 51 and either the first side surface 53 or the second side surface 54. The multiple recesses 55 include a first recess 55A, two second recesses 55B, and two third recesses 55C. The first recess 55A and the two second recesses 55B are each connected to the first side surface 53. In the third direction y, the first recess 55A is located between the two second recesses 55B. The two third recesses 55C are connected to the second side surface 54. The two third recesses 55C are spaced apart from each other in the third direction y.
[0025] As shown in FIGS. 10 , 11 , 14 , and 15 , the substrate 11 is bonded to the main surface 711 of the heat dissipation member 70. In the semiconductor device A10, the substrate 11 is formed, for example, from a DBC (Direct Bonded Copper) substrate. The substrate 11 may also be formed from an AMB (Active Metal Brazing) substrate. The substrate 11 has an insulating layer 111, a metal layer 112, a first conductive layer 121, and a second conductive layer 122. The substrate 11 is covered with a sealing resin 50.
[0026] As shown in Figures 10, 11, 14, and 15, the metal layer 112 is bonded to the main surface 711 of the heat dissipation member 70. The metal layer 112 contains copper (Cu). As shown in Figure 17, the metal layer 112 includes a plating layer 112a that is located on the outermost side in the first direction z (the side farthest from the insulating layer 111 in the first direction). The plating layer 112a is made of silver (Ag). In some cases, the metal layer 112 may not include the plating layer 112a. When viewed in the first direction z, the metal layer 112 is located inward from the periphery 111A of the insulating layer 111.
[0027] As shown in Figures 10, 11, 14, and 15, the insulating layer 111 is located between the metal layer 112 and the first and second conductive layers 121 and 122 in the first direction z. That is, the insulating layer 111 is located between the main surface 711 of the heat dissipation member 70 and the first and second conductive layers 121 and 122. The metal layer 112 is also bonded to the insulating layer 111. The insulating layer 111 is made of a material with relatively high thermal conductivity. The insulating layer 111 is made of ceramics containing aluminum nitride (AlN), for example. The insulating layer 111 may be made of an insulating resin sheet instead of ceramics.
[0028] As shown in FIGS. 10 , 11 , 14 , and 15 , the first conductive layer 121 and the second conductive layer 122 are located on the opposite side of the insulating layer 111 from the metal layer 112. Each of the first conductive layer 121 and the second conductive layer 122 is bonded to the insulating layer 111. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 , each of the first conductive layer 121 and the second conductive layer 122 is located inward from the periphery 111A of the insulating layer 111. Each of the first conductive layer 121 and the second conductive layer 122 contains copper. The first conductive layer 121 and the second conductive layer 122 are spaced apart from each other in the second direction x. The dimension of each of the first conductive layer 121 and the second conductive layer 122 in the first direction z is greater than the dimension of the insulating layer 111 in the first direction z. The first conductive layer 121 has a first mounting surface 121A that faces the same side as the main surface 711 of the heat dissipation member 70 in the first direction z. The first mounting surface 121A faces the multiple semiconductor elements 20. The second conductive layer 122 has a second mounting surface 122A that faces the same side as the first mounting surface 121A in the first direction z.
[0029] 10 , 11 , 14 , and 15 , the bonding member 19 is interposed between the main surface 711 of the heat dissipation member 70 and the metal layer 112, and bonds the main surface 711 of the heat dissipation member 70 and the metal layer 112. The bonding member 19 is covered with a sealing resin 50. In this embodiment, the bonding member 19 is a metal foil having a thickness dimension (dimension in the first direction z) of about 100 μm.
[0030] As shown in FIG. 17 , the joining member 19 includes a first metal layer 191, a second metal layer 192, and a third metal layer 193. The first metal layer 191 is the main body of the joining member 19 and is made of, for example, aluminum (Al) or an Al alloy. The second metal layer 192 is laminated on one side of the first metal layer 191 in the first direction z (on the same side as the base material 11 relative to the first metal layer 191 in the first direction z). The second metal layer 192 is made of silver (Ag). A nickel (Ni) layer in contact with the first metal layer 191 and a copper (Cu) layer in contact with the second metal layer 192 are laminated between the first metal layer 191 and the second metal layer 192 as intermediate layers (not shown). The third metal layer 193 is laminated on the other side of the first metal layer 191 in the first direction z (on the same side as the heat dissipation member 70 relative to the first metal layer 191 in the first direction z). The third metal layer 193 is made of silver (Ag). Between the first metal layer 191 and the third metal layer 193, a nickel (Ni) layer in contact with the first metal layer 191 and a copper (Cu) layer in contact with the third metal layer 193 are stacked as intermediate layers (not shown). That is, a second metal layer 192 and a third metal layer 193 made of silver (Ag) are disposed on both ends of the bonding member 19 in the first direction z. Each intermediate layer is formed by, for example, plating the first metal layer 191. The second metal layer 192 and the third metal layer 193 are each formed by, for example, plating the respective intermediate layers. The method for forming the bonding member 19 is not limited. The materials constituting the first metal layer 191 and each intermediate layer are not limited.
[0031] The second metal layer 192 of the joining member 19 is solid-state bonded to the metal layer 112 (plated layer 112a) of the base material 11. The third metal layer 193 of the joining member 19 is solid-state bonded to the base portion 71 (plated layer 71a) of the heat dissipation member 70. The heat dissipation member 70, the joining member 19, and the base material 11 are placed in this order in a mold in the first direction z, and solid-state bonding is performed between the components by a pressure treatment using a pressure device that performs solid-state bonding.
[0032] As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9 , each of the plurality of semiconductor elements 20 is mounted on either the first conductive layer 121 or the second conductive layer 122. The plurality of semiconductor elements 20 are, for example, MOSFETs (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors). Alternatively, the plurality of semiconductor elements 20 may be switching elements such as IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors) or diodes. In the description of the semiconductor device A10, the plurality of semiconductor elements 20 are n-channel MOSFETs with a vertical structure. The plurality of semiconductor elements 20 include a compound semiconductor substrate. The compound semiconductor substrate includes silicon carbide (SiC).
[0033] 9 , in the semiconductor device A10, the multiple semiconductor elements 20 include multiple first semiconductor elements 21 and multiple second semiconductor elements 22. The structure of each of the multiple second semiconductor elements 22 is the same as the structure of each of the multiple first semiconductor elements 21. The multiple first semiconductor elements 21 are mounted on a first mounting surface 121A of a first conductive layer 121. The multiple first semiconductor elements 21 are arranged along the third direction y. The multiple second semiconductor elements 22 are mounted on a second mounting surface 122A of a second conductive layer 122. The multiple second semiconductor elements 22 are arranged along the third direction y.
[0034] As shown in FIGS. 9 and 12, each of the plurality of first semiconductor elements 21 has a first electrode 211 , a second electrode 212 , a first gate electrode 213 and a first detection electrode 214 .
[0035] As shown in FIG. 12 , the first electrode 211 faces the first mounting surface 121A of the first conductive layer 121. A current corresponding to the power before conversion by the first semiconductor element 21 flows through the first electrode 211. In other words, the first electrode 211 corresponds to the drain electrode of the first semiconductor element 21. The first electrode 211 is conductively bonded to the first mounting surface 121A via a first bonding layer 29. As a result, the first electrode 211 of each of the multiple first semiconductor elements 21 is electrically connected to the first conductive layer 121. The first bonding layer 29 is a sintered body of metal particles containing silver (Ag) or the like. The first bonding layer 29 may be solder or a metal layer formed by brazing using silver or the like.
[0036] 12 , the second electrode 212 is located on the opposite side of the first conductive layer 121 from the side facing the first mounting surface 121A in the first direction z. Therefore, the first electrode 211 and the second electrode 212 are located on opposite sides of each other in the first direction z. A current corresponding to the power converted by the first semiconductor element 21 flows through the second electrode 212. In other words, the second electrode 212 corresponds to the source electrode of the first semiconductor element 21.
[0037] 12 , the first gate electrode 213 is located on the opposite side of the first conductive layer 121 in the first direction z from the side facing the first mounting surface 121A. Therefore, the first gate electrode 213 is located on the same side as the second electrode 212 in the first direction z. A gate voltage for driving the first semiconductor element 21 is applied to the first gate electrode 213. As shown in FIG. 9 , the area of the first gate electrode 213 is smaller than the area of the second electrode 212 when viewed in the first direction z.
[0038] 9 , the first detection electrode 214 is located on the same side as the second electrode 212 and the first gate electrode 213 in the first direction z. The first detection electrode 214 is located adjacent to the first gate electrode 213 in the third direction y. A voltage equivalent to the voltage applied to the second electrode 212 is applied to the first detection electrode 214. When viewed in the first direction z, the area of the first detection electrode 214 is equal to (or approximately equal to) the area of the first gate electrode 213.
[0039] As shown in FIGS. 9 and 13 , each of the plurality of second semiconductor elements 22 has a third electrode 221 , a fourth electrode 222 , a second gate electrode 223 and a second detection electrode 224 .
[0040] 13 , the third electrode 221 faces the second mounting surface 122A of the second conductive layer 122. A current corresponding to the power before being converted by the second semiconductor element 22 flows through the third electrode 221. In other words, the third electrode 221 corresponds to the drain electrode of the second semiconductor element 22. The third electrode 221 is conductively bonded to the second mounting surface 122A via the first bonding layer 29. As a result, the third electrode 221 of each of the multiple second semiconductor elements 22 is electrically connected to the second conductive layer 122.
[0041] 13 , the fourth electrode 222 is located on the opposite side of the second conductive layer 122 from the side facing the second mounting surface 122A in the first direction z. Therefore, the third electrode 221 and the fourth electrode 222 are located on opposite sides of each other in the first direction z. A current corresponding to the power converted by the second semiconductor element 22 flows through the fourth electrode 222. In other words, the fourth electrode 222 corresponds to the source electrode of the second semiconductor element 22.
[0042] 13 , the second gate electrode 223 is located on the opposite side of the second conductive layer 122 in the first direction z from the side facing the second mounting surface 122A. Therefore, the second gate electrode 223 is located on the same side as the fourth electrode 222 in the first direction z. A gate voltage for driving the second semiconductor element 22 is applied to the second gate electrode 223. As shown in FIG. 9 , the area of the second gate electrode 223 is smaller than the area of the fourth electrode 222 when viewed in the first direction z.
[0043] 9 , the second detection electrode 224 is located on the same side as the fourth electrode 222 and the second gate electrode 223 in the first direction z.

Figure 20 is a plan view of a mold used in a first process P1, which will be described later.
[0085] First, as shown in Fig. 18 , the first conductive layer 121 and the second conductive layer 122 are each bonded to one side of the insulating layer 111 in the first direction z.

In the first process P1, the metal layer 112 is bonded to the main surface 711 of the heat dissipation member 70 via the bonding member 19. In the first process P1, first, as shown in FIG. 19 , the heat dissipation member 70 is fixed to the mold 9. At this stage, the recess 714 is not formed in the heat dissipation member 70.

[0090] Next, as shown in FIG. 19, the bonding members 19 are placed at predetermined positions on the main surface 711 of the heat dissipation member 70, and then the base material 11 is placed thereon.
[0091] 21 , a pressure device (not shown) applies heat while applying pressure in the first direction z and vibration in a direction perpendicular to the first direction z, thereby bonding the substrate 11 to the heat dissipation member 70 via the bonding member 19. The second metal layer 192 of the bonding member 19 is solid-state bonded to the metal layer 112 (plating layer 112 a) of the substrate 11, and the third metal layer 193 of the bonding member 19 is solid-state bonded to the base 71 (plating layer 71 a) of the heat dissipation member 70, thereby bonding the substrate 11 and the heat dissipation member 70. Because the bonding member 19 is made of flexible metal foil, the opposing surfaces of the bonding member 19 and the substrate 11, and the bonding member 19 and the heat dissipation member 70, are directly and firmly attached to each other, thereby solid-state bonding them together. The mold 9 is made of a material, such as steel, which is harder than the heat dissipation member 70. Therefore, when pressure is applied in the first direction z by the pressure device, the portion of the back surface 713 of the heat dissipation member 70 that abuts against the abutment surface 92 of the mold 9 is recessed, forming a recess 714. In this embodiment, in the first step P1, the tip surface 721a of the heat dissipation pin 721 does not contact the mold 9 (the bottom surface 93a of the recess 93). The pressure device is not limited to this, and does not need to apply heat or vibration as long as it can solid-state weld the opposing surfaces of the members together. The mold 9 may be fixed to the pressure device in advance, or may be fixed to the pressure device after the heat dissipation member 70, etc. are placed thereon.
[0092] Next, a second process P2 is performed in which each of the plurality of semiconductor elements 20 is conductively bonded to either the first conductive layer 121 or the second conductive layer 122. In the second process P2, as shown in FIG. 22 , each of the plurality of first semiconductor elements 21 is conductively bonded to the first conductive layer 121 via a first bonding layer 29. Each of the plurality of second semiconductor elements 22 is conductively bonded to the second conductive layer 122 via the first bonding layer 29. The first bonding layer 29 is formed by sintering metal particles containing silver or the like. The temperature at which the first bonding layer 29 is formed in the second process P2 is, for example, 200° C. or higher and 600° C. or lower. The second process P2 is performed by moving the mold 9 to which the heat dissipation member 70 has been fixed after the first process P1 to equipment for the second process P2.
[0093] Next, as shown in FIG. 23 , a third process P3 is performed in which the first conductive member 31 and the second conductive member 32 are conductively bonded to each other. In the third process P3, the first conductive member 31 is conductively bonded to each of the plurality of first semiconductor elements 21 and the second conductive layer 122 via the second bonding layer 39. Additionally, the second conductive member 32 is conductively bonded to each of the plurality of second semiconductor elements 22 and the two second power terminals 14 via the second bonding layer 39. In the third process P3, the first terminal support 61, to which the thermistor 23 and the plurality of sleeves 63 are conductively bonded, is bonded to the first conductive layer 121 via the second bonding layer 39 (see FIG. 11 ). Additionally, the second terminal support 62, to which the thermistor 23 and the plurality of sleeves 63 are conductively bonded, is bonded to the second conductive layer 122 via the second bonding layer 39 (see FIG. 11 ). Furthermore, although not shown, in the third process P3, the plurality of first wires 41, the plurality of second wires 42, the plurality of fourth wires 44, the plurality of fifth wires 45, the plurality of sixth wires 46, and the plurality of seventh wires 47 are each formed. The temperature at which the second bonding layer 39 is formed in the third process P3 is, for example, approximately 260°C. The second bonding layer 39 is formed by melting solder by reflow and then solidifying the solder. The third process P3 is performed by moving the mold 9 to which the heat dissipation member 70 is fixed after the second process P2 to equipment for the third process P3.
[0094] Next, as shown in FIG. 24 , a fourth process P4 is performed to form a sealing resin 50 that covers the semiconductor elements 20. In the fourth process P4, the base material 11, the first conductive member 31, and the second conductive member 32 are covered with the sealing resin 50. The sealing resin 50 is formed by transfer molding. The fourth process P4 is performed after the first process P1, the second process P2, and the third process P3 are completed. The temperature at which the sealing resin 50 is formed in the fourth process P4 is, for example, approximately 180° C. Therefore, the temperature at which the sealing resin 50 is formed in the fourth process P4 is lower than the temperature at which the first bonding layer 29 is formed in the second process P2 and the temperature at which the second bonding layer 39 is formed in the third process P3. In the fourth process P4, the bottom surface 52 of the sealing resin 50 is in contact with the main surface 711 of the heat dissipation member 70. Additionally, each of the multiple end surfaces 712 of the heat dissipation member 70 is exposed from the sealing resin 50. Furthermore, when viewed in the first direction z, the sealing resin 50 is positioned inward from the periphery 701 of the heat dissipation member 70 .
[0095] 24 , in the fourth step P4, the first power terminal 13, the two second power terminals 14, and the two third power terminals 15 are exposed from the top surface 51 of the sealing resin 50. Furthermore, the sealing resin 50 is forced into the engagement portions 73 provided on the heat dissipation member 70. The fourth step P4 is performed by moving the mold 9 to which the heat dissipation member 70 has been fixed after the third step P3 to equipment for the fourth step P4.
[0096] Finally, the first signal terminal 161, the second signal terminal 162, the third signal terminal 171, the fourth signal terminal 172, the two fifth signal terminals 181, and the two sixth signal terminals 182 are individually inserted into the multiple sleeves 63. This causes these signal terminals to protrude from the top surface 51 of the sealing resin 50. This process is performed after the fourth process P4 is completed. Through the above processes, the semiconductor device A10 is obtained.
[0097] The manufacturing method of the semiconductor device A10 is not limited to the above. In the above manufacturing method, the heat dissipation member 70 is fixed to the mold 9 in the first step P1, and then the mold 9 to which the heat dissipation member 70 is fixed is moved to perform the second step P2 to the fourth step P4, but this is not limiting. In the second step P2 to the fourth step P4, since a large pressure like that in the first step P1 is not applied, the heat dissipation member 70 may be fixed to a mold with a flat upper surface that does not have the recess 93 formed therein.
[0098] Next, a vehicle B equipped with the semiconductor device A10 will be described with reference to Fig. 25. The vehicle B is, for example, an electric vehicle (EV).
[0099] As shown in Fig. 25, vehicle B includes an on-board charger 81, a storage battery 82, and a drive system 83. Power is supplied to the on-board charger 81 wirelessly from a power supply facility (not shown) installed outdoors. Alternatively, power may be supplied from the power supply facility to the on-board charger 81 via a wired connection. The on-board charger 81 is configured with a step-up DC-DC converter. The voltage of the power supplied to the on-board charger 81 is stepped up by the converter and then supplied to the storage battery 82. The stepped-up voltage is, for example, 600 V.
[0100] The drive system 83 drives the vehicle B. The drive system 83 includes an inverter 831 and a drive source 832. The semiconductor device A10 constitutes part of the inverter 831. Power stored in the storage battery 82 is supplied to the inverter 831. The power supplied from the storage battery 82 to the inverter 831 is DC power. Alternatively, unlike the power system shown in FIG. 25 , a step-up DC-DC converter may be further provided between the storage battery 82 and the inverter 831. The inverter 831 converts DC power into AC power. The inverter 831 including the semiconductor device A10 is connected to the drive source 832. The drive source 832 includes an AC motor and a transmission. When the AC power converted by the inverter 831 is supplied to the drive source 832, the AC motor rotates and the rotation is transmitted to the transmission. The transmission appropriately reduces the rotation speed transmitted from the AC motor and then rotates the drive shaft of the vehicle B. This drives vehicle B. To drive vehicle B, it is necessary to freely control the rotation speed of the AC motor based on information such as the amount of accelerator pedal fluctuation. Therefore, semiconductor device A10 in inverter 831 is necessary to output AC power whose frequency has been appropriately changed to correspond to the required rotation speed of the AC motor.
[0101] Next, the effects of the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device A10 will be described.
[0102] According to this embodiment, in first step P1 of the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device A10, when the heat dissipation member 70 is fixed to the mold 9, each heat dissipation pin 721 of the heat dissipation member 70 is inserted into a corresponding recess 93 of the mold 9, and the abutment surface 92 of the mold 9 abuts against the back surface 713 of the heat dissipation member 70. Therefore, even when a pressure device applies pressure in the first direction z to bond the base material 11 to the heat dissipation member 70, the heat dissipation pin 721 does not buckle. In this embodiment, in first step P1, the tip surface 721a of the heat dissipation pin 721 does not contact the mold 9 (the bottom surface 93a of the recess 93). Therefore, the heat dissipation pin 721 does not deform due to contact between the tip surface 721a and the mold 9.
[0103] According to this embodiment, in the first process P1, the pressure applied by the pressure device in the first direction z recesses the portion of the back surface 713 of the heat dissipation member 70 where the contact surface 92 of the mold 9 abuts, forming a recess 714. The area S1 of the bottom of the recess 714 (the area of the contact surface 92 of the mold 9) is greater than the total area S2 of the tip surfaces 721a of the multiple heat dissipation pins 721. Therefore, when the contact surface 92 of the mold 9 abuts the back surface 713 of the heat dissipation member 70, the area to which the pressure from the pressure device in the first process P1 is transmitted is larger than when the tip surfaces 721a of the heat dissipation pins 721 abut against the mold. This improves the bonding reliability of the bonding member 19 of the semiconductor device A10 according to this embodiment. In the semiconductor device A10 according to this embodiment, the formation of the recess 714 in the heat dissipation member 70 increases the surface area of the heat dissipation member 70, thereby improving heat dissipation performance.
[0104] According to the present embodiment, in the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device A10, in processes subsequent to the fourth step P4 in which the sealing resin 50 is formed, the semiconductor device A10 in the process of manufacture is not placed in an environment with a temperature higher than the temperature at which the sealing resin 50 is formed. Therefore, the semiconductor device A10 can better maintain the shape of the sealing resin 50. The temperature at which the sealing resin 50 is formed in the fourth step P4 is lower than the temperature at which the first bonding layer 29 is formed in the second step P2. Therefore, melting of the first bonding layer 29 can be prevented when the sealing resin 50 is formed. The temperature at which the sealing resin 50 is formed in the fourth step P4 is lower than the temperature at which the second bonding layer 39 is formed in the third step P3. Therefore, melting of the second bonding layer 39 can be prevented when the sealing resin 50 is formed.
[0105] In the fourth process P4, the sealing resin 50 is brought into contact with the main surface 711 of the heat dissipation member 70. At the same time, the base material 11 is covered with the sealing resin 50, and an end surface 712 of the heat dissipation member 70 is exposed from the sealing resin 50. Furthermore, when viewed in the first direction z, the sealing resin 50 is positioned inward from the periphery 701 of the heat dissipation member 70. By adopting this configuration, when forming the sealing resin 50 in the fourth process P4, the molding die can be pressed against the heat dissipation member 70 without any gaps. This further improves the molding state of the sealing resin 50.
[0106] The semiconductor device A10 further includes a first power terminal 13 electrically connected to the semiconductor element 20 (first semiconductor element 21). The first power terminal 13 is exposed from a top surface 51 of the sealing resin 50. When viewed in the first direction z, the first power terminal 13 is located inward from the periphery of the top surface 51. This configuration ensures a longer creepage distance (the distance along the surface of the sealing resin 50) from the first power terminal 13 to the heat dissipation member 70. This makes it possible to further improve the dielectric strength voltage of the semiconductor device A10.
[0107] The heat dissipation member 70 has an engagement portion 73 recessed from the main surface 711. In a fourth process P4, the sealing resin 50 is recessed into the engagement portion 73. This configuration allows the sealing resin 50 to have an anchor effect on the heat dissipation member 70. This makes it possible to prevent the sealing resin 50 from peeling off from the main surface 711.
[0108] The semiconductor device A10 further includes a first signal terminal 161 that is electrically connected to the semiconductor element 20 (first semiconductor element 21). The first signal terminal 161 protrudes from the top surface 51 of the sealing resin 50. This configuration makes it possible to ensure a longer creepage distance from the first signal terminal 161 to the heat dissipation member 70.
[0109] Next, modified examples of the first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Figures 26 to 33. In these figures, elements that are the same as or similar to those in the semiconductor device A10 described above are given the same reference numerals, and duplicated descriptions will be omitted.
[0110] First Modification: Figure 26 is a diagram for explaining a semiconductor device A11 according to a first modification. Figure 26 is a bottom view showing the semiconductor device A11, and corresponds to Figure 6 showing the semiconductor device A10. The semiconductor device A11 differs from the semiconductor device A10 in the arrangement of the multiple heat dissipation pins 721. In the semiconductor device A11 according to this modification, the multiple heat dissipation pins 721 are arranged in a row on the back surface 713, spaced apart from each other at equal intervals in the second direction x and the third direction y. In other words, the multiple heat dissipation pins 721 are arranged in a matrix when viewed in the first direction.
[0111] Second Modification: Fig. 27 is a diagram illustrating a semiconductor device A12 according to a second modification. Fig. 27 is a bottom view showing the semiconductor device A12, and corresponds to Fig. 6 showing the semiconductor device A10. The semiconductor device A12 differs from the semiconductor device A10 in the cross-sectional shape of the multiple heat dissipation pins 721 perpendicular to the first direction z. In the semiconductor device A12 according to this modification, the multiple heat dissipation pins 721 all have a rectangular cross-section perpendicular to the first direction z.
[0112] Third Modification: FIG. 28 is a diagram illustrating a semiconductor device A13 according to a third modification. FIG. 28 is a bottom view showing the semiconductor device A13 and corresponds to FIG. 6 showing the semiconductor device A10. The semiconductor device A13 differs from the semiconductor device A10 in the cross-sectional shape of the multiple heat dissipation pins 721 perpendicular to the first direction z. In the semiconductor device A12 according to this modification, the cross-section of each of the multiple heat dissipation pins 721 perpendicular to the first direction z is a diamond shape that is elongated in the third direction y. In this modification, the direction in which the cooling water flows is the third direction y, so the cross-sectional shape of the multiple heat dissipation pins 721 is elongated in the third direction y.
[0113] As can be seen from the first to third modifications, the arrangement and cross-sectional shape of the multiple heat dissipation pins 721 are not limited. For example, the multiple heat dissipation pins 721 may be arranged irregularly. The cross-sectional shape of the heat dissipation pins 721 may be elliptical or rectangular with one side longer than the other. In these shapes, it is desirable from the perspective of cooling effectiveness to align the longitudinal direction with the direction of the cooling water flow. The combination of the arrangement and cross-sectional shape of the multiple heat dissipation pins 721 is not limited to those described above.
[0114] Fourth Modification: FIG. 29 is a diagram illustrating a semiconductor device A14 according to a fourth modification. FIG. 29 is a bottom view of the semiconductor device A14, corresponding to FIG. 6 showing the semiconductor device A10. The semiconductor device A14 differs from the semiconductor device A10 in the form of the heat dissipation portion 72. In the semiconductor device A14 according to this modification, the heat dissipation portion 72 is a plurality of heat dissipation fins 722, each of which is plate-shaped. In this modification, the direction in which the cooling water flows is the third direction y, so the plurality of heat dissipation fins 722 are arranged parallel to the third direction y and the first direction z and are equally spaced apart in the second direction x.
[0115] Fifth Modification: FIG. 30 is a diagram illustrating a semiconductor device A15 according to a fifth modification. FIG. 30 is a cross-sectional view of the semiconductor device A15, corresponding to FIG. 11 showing the semiconductor device A10. The semiconductor device A15 differs from the semiconductor device A10 in the configuration of bonding the base material 11 to the heat dissipation member 70. In the semiconductor device A15 according to this modification, the metal layer 112 of the base material 11 is bonded to the main surface 711 of the heat dissipation member 70 via a first bonding layer 29 (a sintered body of metal particles containing silver (Ag) or the like). In this modification, in the first step P1 of the manufacturing method according to the first embodiment, the metal layer 112 of the base material 11 is bonded to the main surface 711 of the heat dissipation member 70 via the first bonding layer 29. The first step P1 and the second step P2 may be performed simultaneously.
[0116] Sixth Modification: FIG. 31 is a diagram illustrating a semiconductor device A16 according to a sixth modification. FIG. 31 is a cross-sectional view of the semiconductor device A16, corresponding to FIG. 11 showing the semiconductor device A10. The semiconductor device A16 differs from the semiconductor device A10 in the configuration of conductive bonding of each of the multiple semiconductor elements 20 to either the first conductive layer 121 or the second conductive layer 122. In the semiconductor device A16 according to this modification, the first electrode 211 of each of the multiple first semiconductor elements 21 is conductively bonded to the first mounting surface 121A of the first conductive layer 121 via the bonding member 19. The third electrode 221 of the multiple second semiconductor elements 22 is conductively bonded to the second mounting surface 122A of the second conductive layer 122 via the bonding member 19. In this modified example, in second step P2 of the manufacturing method of the first embodiment, a plurality of first semiconductor elements 21 (second semiconductor elements 22) are conductively joined to the first conductive layer 121 (second conductive layer 122) by solid-state bonding via the bonding member 19. The second step P2 may be performed simultaneously with the first step P1.
[0117] Seventh Modification: FIG. 32 is a diagram illustrating a semiconductor device A17 according to a seventh modification. FIG. 32 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of the semiconductor device A17, corresponding to FIG. 17 showing the semiconductor device A10. The semiconductor device A17 differs from the semiconductor device A10 in the configuration of bonding the substrate 11 to the heat dissipation member 70. In the semiconductor device A15 according to this modification, the metal layer 112 (plating layer 112a) of the substrate 11 is directly solid-state bonded to the base 71 (plating layer 71a) of the heat dissipation member 70. In this modification, there is no need to place a bonding member 19 between the main surface 711 of the heat dissipation member 70 and the substrate 11 in the first step P1 of the manufacturing method according to the first embodiment.
[0118] Eighth Modification: Figure 33 is a diagram for explaining a semiconductor device A18 according to an eighth modification. Figure 33 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view showing the semiconductor device A18, and corresponds to Figure 16 showing the semiconductor device A10. The semiconductor device A18 differs from the semiconductor device A10 in the configuration of the engagement portion 73 of the heat dissipation member 70. In the semiconductor device A18 according to this modification, the engagement portion 73 protrudes from the main surface 711 of the heat dissipation member 70. The engagement portion 73 is recessed into the sealing resin 50.
[0119] Second Embodiment: A semiconductor device A20 according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Figures 34 and 35. In these figures, elements that are the same as or similar to those in the semiconductor device A10 described above are given the same reference numerals, and duplicated descriptions will be omitted. Figure 34 is a bottom view showing the semiconductor device A20, and corresponds to Figure 6 showing the semiconductor device A10. Figure 35 is a plan view of a mold used in the manufacturing process of the semiconductor device A20, and corresponds to Figure 20.
[0120] In the semiconductor device A20 according to this embodiment, the shape of the recess 714 is different from that of the semiconductor device A10 according to the first embodiment. The configuration and operation of other parts of this embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment. The parts of the first embodiment and the modifications described above may be combined in any manner.
[0121] As shown in FIG. 34 , in the semiconductor device A20 according to this embodiment, the recess 714 is divided into multiple portions. In FIG. 34 , the recess 714 is dotted for ease of understanding. In this embodiment, each portion of the recess 714 is rectangular when viewed in the first direction z. The shape of each portion of the recess 714 is not limited. Each portion of the recess 714 is disposed between multiple heat dissipation pins 721 on the back surface 713. In this embodiment, too, the total area S1 of the bottom surfaces of each portion of the recess 714, which are surfaces facing the other side in the first direction z, is greater than the total area S2 of the tip surfaces of the multiple heat dissipation pins 721. The area S1 may be equal to or smaller than the area S2. The recess 714 is formed during the manufacturing process by pressing the mold 9 for fixing the heat dissipation member 70 against the base 71 during the process of bonding the substrate 11 to the main surface 711 of the heat dissipation member 70.
[0122] As shown in FIG. 35 , the mold 9 used in the first step P1 has an upper surface 91, multiple protrusions 95, and multiple positioning pins 94. The upper surface 91 faces one side in the first direction z and faces the back surface 713 of the heat dissipation member 70. The multiple protrusions 95 each protrude from the upper surface 91 toward one side in the first direction z. Each of the multiple protrusions 95 is positioned so as to avoid the multiple heat dissipation pins 721 of the heat dissipation member 70. Each protrusion 95 has a rectangular shape when viewed in the first direction z. The shape of each protrusion 95 when viewed in the first direction z is not limited. A tip surface 95 a of each protrusion 95 faces one side in the first direction z and is located on one side of the upper surface 91 in the first direction z. Each tip surface 95 a abuts against the back surface 713 of the heat dissipation member 70 when the heat dissipation member 70 is fixed to the mold 9. At this time, the heat dissipation pins 721 of the heat dissipation member 70 are positioned between the protrusions 95 when viewed in the first direction, and do not come into contact with the protrusions 95 or the upper surface 91 .
[0123] In the first process P1, when the pressure device applies pressure in the first direction z to join the substrate 11 to the heat dissipation member 70, the portion of the back surface 713 of the heat dissipation member 70 that abuts against the tip surface 95a of the protrusion 95 of the mold 9 becomes recessed, forming a recess 714.
[0124] Next, the effects of the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device A20 will be described.
[0125] According to the present embodiment, in first step P1 of the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device A20, when the heat dissipation member 70 is fixed to the mold 9, each heat dissipation pin 721 of the heat dissipation member 70 is positioned between each protrusion 95 when viewed in the first direction, and the tip surface 95a of the protrusion 95 of the mold 9 abuts the back surface 713 of the heat dissipation member 70. Therefore, even when a pressure device applies pressure in the first direction z to bond the base material 11 to the heat dissipation member 70, the heat dissipation pin 721 does not buckle. In the present embodiment, in first step P1, the tip surface 721a of the heat dissipation pin 721 does not contact the mold 9 (top surface 91). Therefore, the heat dissipation pin 721 does not deform due to contact between the tip surface 721a and the mold 9.
[0126] According to this embodiment, in the first process P1, the pressure applied by the pressure device in the first direction z recesses the portion of the back surface 713 of the heat dissipation member 70 where the tip surface 95a of the protrusion 95 of the mold 9 abuts, forming a recess 714. The total area S1 of the bottom surfaces of the recess 714 (the total area of the tip surfaces 95a of the mold 9) is greater than the total area S2 of the tip surfaces 721a of the multiple heat dissipation pins 721. Therefore, when the tip surface 95a of the mold 9 abuts the back surface 713 of the heat dissipation member 70, the area to which the pressure from the pressure device in the first process P1 is transmitted is larger than when the tip surface 721a of the heat dissipation pins 721 abut the mold. This improves the bonding reliability of the bonding member 19 of the semiconductor device A20 according to this embodiment. In the semiconductor device A20 according to this embodiment, the formation of the recess 714 in the heat dissipation member 70 increases the surface area of the heat dissipation member 70, thereby improving heat dissipation performance. Furthermore, the semiconductor device A20 and its manufacturing method have the same configuration as the semiconductor device A10 and its manufacturing method, and thus have the same effects as the semiconductor device A10 and its manufacturing method.
[0127] Third Embodiment: A semiconductor device A30 according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 36, 37, and 38. In these figures, elements that are the same as or similar to those in the semiconductor device A10 described above are designated by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted. FIG. 36 is a cross-sectional view showing the semiconductor device A30, corresponding to FIG. 10 showing the semiconductor device A10. FIG. 37 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a manufacturing process for the semiconductor device A30, corresponding to FIG. 19. FIG. 38 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a manufacturing process for the semiconductor device A30, corresponding to FIG. 21.
[0128] In the semiconductor device A30 according to this embodiment, the shape of the tip portion of the heat dissipation pin 721 differs from that of the semiconductor device A10 according to the first embodiment. The configuration and operation of other parts of this embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment. The parts of the first and second embodiments and their modified examples may be combined in any manner.
[0129] 36 , in the semiconductor device A30 according to this embodiment, each heat dissipation pin 721 of the heat dissipation member 70 has a protrusion 721b at its tip that protrudes in a direction perpendicular to the first direction z. As shown in FIG. 37 , in first step P1 of the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device A30, when the heat dissipation member 70 is fixed to the mold 9, the tip surface 721a of the heat dissipation pin 721 contacts the bottom surface 93a of the recess 93. Then, as shown in FIG. 38 , when a pressure device applies pressure in the first direction z to bond the substrate 11 to the heat dissipation member 70, the recess 714 is formed. At this time, the tip surface 721a of the heat dissipation pin 721 is pressed against the bottom surface 93a of the recess 93, and the tip portion of the heat dissipation pin 721 is crushed and deformed, forming the protrusion 721b.
[0130] Next, the effects of the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device A30 will be described.
[0131] Also in this embodiment, when the heat dissipation member 70 is fixed to the mold 9 in the first step P1 of the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device A30, each heat dissipation pin 721 of the heat dissipation member 70 is inserted into a corresponding recess 93 of the mold 9, and the abutment surface 92 of the mold 9 abuts against the back surface 713 of the heat dissipation member 70. Therefore, even when a pressure device applies pressure in the first direction z to bond the base material 11 to the heat dissipation member 70, the heat dissipation pin 721 does not buckle.
[0132] According to this embodiment, when the heat dissipation member 70 is fixed to the mold 9 in the first step P1, the contact surface 92 of the mold 9 contacts the back surface 713 of the heat dissipation member 70, and the tip surfaces 721a of the heat dissipation pins 721 contact the bottom surfaces 93a of the recesses 93. Therefore, compared to when the contact surface 92 of the mold 9 simply contacts the back surface 713 of the heat dissipation member 70, the area to which the pressure from the pressure device is transmitted in the first step P1 is further increased. This further improves the bonding reliability of the bonding members 19 of the semiconductor device A30 according to this embodiment. In the semiconductor device A30 according to this embodiment, the formation of the recesses 714 in the heat dissipation member 70 increases the surface area of the heat dissipation member 70, thereby improving heat dissipation performance. Furthermore, the semiconductor device A30 and its manufacturing method share a configuration common to the semiconductor device A10 and its manufacturing method, thereby achieving the same effects as the semiconductor device A10 and its manufacturing method.
[0133] Fourth Embodiment: A semiconductor device A40 according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Fig. 39. In these figures, elements that are the same as or similar to those in the semiconductor device A10 described above are given the same reference numerals, and duplicated descriptions will be omitted. Fig. 39 is a perspective view showing the semiconductor device A40, and corresponds to Fig. 1 showing the semiconductor device A10.
[0134] In the semiconductor device A40 according to this embodiment, the arrangement positions of the signal terminals are different from those of the semiconductor device A10 according to the first embodiment. The configuration and operation of other parts of this embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment. The parts of the first to third embodiments and the modified examples described above may be combined in any manner.
[0135] 39 , in the semiconductor device A40 according to this embodiment, the signal terminals 161, 162, 171, 172, 181, and 182 are concentrated in the second direction x on the side where the third power terminal 15 is located. The positions of the signal terminals 161, 162, 171, 172, 181, and 182 in the third direction y are not limited.
[0136] Next, the effects of the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device A40 will be described.
[0137] Also in this embodiment, when the heat dissipation member 70 is fixed to the mold 9 in the first step P1 of the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device A40, each heat dissipation pin 721 of the heat dissipation member 70 is inserted into a corresponding recess 93 of the mold 9, and the abutment surface 92 of the mold 9 abuts against the back surface 713 of the heat dissipation member 70. Therefore, even when a pressure device applies pressure in the first direction z to bond the base material 11 to the heat dissipation member 70, the heat dissipation pins 721 do not buckle.
[0138] In this embodiment, too, the area S1 of the bottom surface of the recess 714 (the area of the contact surface 92 of the mold 9) is larger than the area S2 obtained by summing the areas of the tip surfaces 721a of the multiple heat dissipation pins 721. Therefore, when the contact surface 92 of the mold 9 contacts the back surface 713 of the heat dissipation member 70, the area to which the pressure from the pressure device in the first step P1 is transmitted is larger than when the tip surfaces 721a of the heat dissipation pins 721 contact the mold. This improves the bonding reliability of the bonding member 19 of the semiconductor device A40 according to this embodiment. In the semiconductor device A40 according to this embodiment, the formation of the recess 714 in the heat dissipation member 70 increases the surface area of the heat dissipation member 70, thereby improving heat dissipation. Furthermore, the semiconductor device A40 and its manufacturing method share the same configuration as the semiconductor device A10 and its manufacturing method, thereby achieving the same effects as the semiconductor device A10 and its manufacturing method.
[0139] The signal terminals 161, 162, 171, 172, 181, and 182 may be arranged in a concentrated manner on the side where the first power terminal 13 and the second power terminal 14 are arranged in the second direction x.
[0140] Fifth Embodiment: A semiconductor device A50 according to a fifth embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 40 and 41. In these figures, elements that are the same as or similar to those in the semiconductor device A10 described above are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicated descriptions will be omitted. FIG. 40 is a plan view showing the semiconductor device A50, and corresponds to FIG. 2 showing the semiconductor device A10. FIG. 41 is a right side view showing the semiconductor device A50, and corresponds to FIG. 3 showing the semiconductor device A10.
[0141] The semiconductor device A50 according to this embodiment differs from the semiconductor device A10 according to the first embodiment in the relationship between the heat dissipation member 70 and the sealing resin 50, and the arrangement and shape of each terminal. The configuration and operation of other parts of this embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment. The parts of the first to fourth embodiments and their modified examples may be combined in any manner.
[0142] As shown in FIG. 41, in a semiconductor device A50 according to this embodiment, the entire main surface 711 and each of the end faces 712 of the base 71 of the heat dissipation member 70 are covered with the sealing resin 50.
[0143] As shown in Figure 40 , the first power terminal 13 and the two second power terminals 14 protrude in the second direction x from the first side surface 53 of the sealing resin 50. There is one third power terminal 15, and it protrudes in the second direction x from the center of the second side surface 54 of the sealing resin 50 in the third direction y. As shown in Figures 40 and 41 , each signal terminal 161, 162, 171, 172, 181, 182 is conductively joined to each wiring layer, protrudes in the second direction x from the second side surface 54 of the sealing resin 50, bends to one side in the first direction z, and extends in the first direction z. The number and arrangement of each terminal are not limited.
[0144] Next, the effects of the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device A50 will be described.
[0145] Also in this embodiment, when the heat dissipation member 70 is fixed to the mold 9 in the first step P1 of the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device A50, each heat dissipation pin 721 of the heat dissipation member 70 is inserted into a corresponding recess 93 of the mold 9, and the abutment surface 92 of the mold 9 abuts against the back surface 713 of the heat dissipation member 70. Therefore, even when a pressure device applies pressure in the first direction z to bond the base material 11 to the heat dissipation member 70, the heat dissipation pins 721 do not buckle.
[0146] In this embodiment, too, the area S1 of the bottom surface of the recess 714 (the area of the contact surface 92 of the mold 9) is larger than the area S2 obtained by summing the areas of the tip surfaces 721a of the multiple heat dissipation pins 721. Therefore, when the contact surface 92 of the mold 9 contacts the back surface 713 of the heat dissipation member 70, the area to which the pressure from the pressure device in the first step P1 is transmitted is larger than when the tip surfaces 721a of the heat dissipation pins 721 contact the mold. This improves the bonding reliability of the bonding member 19 of the semiconductor device A50 according to this embodiment. In the semiconductor device A50 according to this embodiment, the formation of the recess 714 in the heat dissipation member 70 increases the surface area of the heat dissipation member 70, thereby improving heat dissipation. Furthermore, the semiconductor device A50 and its manufacturing method share a configuration common to the semiconductor device A10 and its manufacturing method, thereby achieving the same effects as the semiconductor device A10 and its manufacturing method.
[0147] Sixth Embodiment: A semiconductor device A60 according to a sixth embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 42 and 43. In these figures, elements that are the same as or similar to those in the semiconductor device A10 described above are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicated descriptions will be omitted. FIG. 42 is a plan view showing the semiconductor device A60, and corresponds to FIG. 2 showing the semiconductor device A10. FIG. 43 is a bottom view showing the semiconductor device A60, and corresponds to FIG. 6 showing the semiconductor device A10.
[0148] The semiconductor device A60 according to this embodiment is the semiconductor device A10 according to the first embodiment, except for the heat dissipation member 70, and has three parts joined to the heat dissipation member 70. The configuration and operation of other parts of this embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment. The parts of the above-described first to fifth embodiments and their modified examples may be combined in any desired manner.
[0149] 42 , in the semiconductor device A60 according to this embodiment, three portions of the semiconductor device A10 excluding the heat dissipation member 70 (portions covered with the sealing resin 50) are joined to the main surface 711 of one heat dissipation member 70 in a line in the third direction y. As shown in FIG. 43 , the heat dissipation member 70 according to this embodiment has heat dissipation portions 72 (plurality of heat dissipation pins 721) and recesses 714 arranged on the rear surface 713 at positions on the main surface 711 where the sealing resin 50 is arranged. The heat dissipation member 70 may also have heat dissipation portions 72 (plurality of heat dissipation pins 721) or recesses 714 arranged on positions on the rear surface 713 where the sealing resin 50 is not arranged on the main surface 711.
[0150] In the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device A60, in a first step P1, three bonding members 19 are placed side by side in the third direction y on a main surface 711 of a heat dissipation member 70 fixed to a mold 9, and three base materials 11 are placed on each bonding member 19. After each base material 11 and the heat dissipation member 70 are bonded via the bonding members 19 by a pressure device, each base material 11 is subjected to processing in a second step P2 to a fourth step P4.
[0151] Next, the effects of the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device A60 will be described.
[0152] Also in this embodiment, when the heat dissipation member 70 is fixed to the mold 9 in the first step P1 of the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device A60, each heat dissipation pin 721 of the heat dissipation member 70 is inserted into a corresponding recess 93 of the mold 9, and the abutment surface 92 of the mold 9 abuts against the back surface 713 of the heat dissipation member 70. Therefore, even when a pressure device applies pressure in the first direction z to bond the base material 11 to the heat dissipation member 70, the heat dissipation pin 721 does not buckle.
[0153] In this embodiment, too, the area S1 of the bottom surface of the recess 714 (the area of the contact surface 92 of the mold 9) is larger than the area S2 obtained by summing the areas of the tip surfaces 721a of the multiple heat dissipation pins 721. Therefore, when the contact surface 92 of the mold 9 contacts the back surface 713 of the heat dissipation member 70, the area to which the pressure from the pressure device in the first step P1 is transmitted is larger than when the tip surfaces 721a of the heat dissipation pins 721 contact the mold. This improves the bonding reliability of the bonding member 19 of the semiconductor device A60 according to this embodiment. In the semiconductor device A60 according to this embodiment, the formation of the recess 714 in the heat dissipation member 70 increases the surface area of the heat dissipation member 70, thereby improving heat dissipation. Furthermore, the semiconductor device A60 and its manufacturing method share a configuration common to the semiconductor device A10 and its manufacturing method, thereby achieving the same effects as the semiconductor device A10 and its manufacturing method.
[0154] In the present embodiment, three portions of the semiconductor device A10 excluding the heat dissipation member 70 are disposed on the main surface 711 of the heat dissipation member 70. However, this is not limitative and two or four or more portions may be disposed. The positions of these portions on the main surface 711 of the heat dissipation member 70 are not limited.
