A semiconductor module includes a first power semiconductor device, a conductive wire, and a resin film. The conductive wire is joined to a surface of a first front electrode of the first power semiconductor device. The resin film is formed to be continuous on at least one of an end portion or an end portion of a first joint between the first front electrode and the conductive wire in a longitudinal direction of the conductive wire, a surface of the first front electrode, and a surface of the conductive wire. The resin film has an elastic elongation rate of 4.5% to 10.0%.

Provided is a semiconductor device that can suppress a temperature increase in beam leads while reducing the number of wiring lines and can suppress an increase in manufacturing costs. The semiconductor device is provided with a power module including an upper arm and a lower arm each configured by connecting in parallel a plurality of power elements and a plurality of rectifying elements. Current to one arm flows through a plurality of separately wired beam leads. A portion of the power elements and a portion of the rectifying elements in one arm form a pair and are connected by a common beam lead.

A semiconductor device includes, an alloy layer sandwiched between a first Ag layer formed on a mounting board or circuit board and a second Ag layer formed on a semiconductor element, wherein the alloy layer contains an intermetallic compound of Ag.sub.3Sn formed by Ag components of the first Ag layer and the second Ag layer and Sn, and wherein a plurality of wires containing Ag are arranged extended from an outside-facing periphery of the alloy layer.
