Embodiments of the disclosed subject matter provide a device including a carrier plate, and a die including a mating surface with a patterned thin film of metal or metal oxide surface bonded to the carrier plate using a solder preform with voids that overlay the patterned thin film on the die, where the oxide surface is disposed opposite a moat in a mating surface of the carrier plate, and where the voided regions remain free of solder when the solder is reflowed.

A terminal case formed by integrally molding a lead frame and a case that has internally an inner face on which the lead frame is mounted and has externally a step portion fixed to a circuit block having an insulating substrate and semiconductor chips formed on the insulating substrate. An opening portion is formed between the step portion and the inner face so as to extend through them, and the opening portion is filled with an adhesive to bond the insulating substrate to the step portion. Since a connecting area to which a bonding wire of the lead frame is ultrasonically bonded is fixed, it is possible to reduce the bonding failures of the lead frames.
