An electronic device includes: a substrate with obverse and reverse surfaces spaced apart in a thickness direction; an electronic element having an obverse surface formed with a first obverse surface electrode; a wiring portion on the substrate obverse surface and configured to transmit a control signal for the electronic element; a conduction member with obverse and reverse surfaces spaced apart in the thickness direction, where the reverse surface is joined to the wiring portion; a conductive first lead on the substrate obverse surface; and a first connecting member joined to the obverse surface of the conduction member and the first obverse surface electrode. The first lead includes a first pad portion spaced apart from the wiring portion and to which the electronic element is joined. The wiring portion and the first obverse surface electrode are electrically connected to each other via the conduction member and the first connecting member.

According to one embodiment, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: providing a printed circuit board that has a first surface on which a first solder resist is formed and a second surface opposite to the first surface and on which a second solder resist having a first region and a second region is formed, wherein a thickness of the second solder resist in the first region is greater than a thickness of the second solder resist in the second region in a first direction perpendicular to the second surface; placing a semiconductor chip on the first solder resist of the printed circuit board; sealing the semiconductor chip on the printed circuit board; and removing a part of the second solder resist in the first region.

A power module is provided. The power module includes a first lead frame, a first die, a substrate, a second lead frame, and a second die. The first lead frame has a first part and a second part. The first die is arranged on top of the first part of the first lead frame. A first power device is formed on the first die. The substrate is arranged on top of the second part of the first lead frame. The second lead frame is arranged on top of the substrate. The second die is arranged on top of the second lead frame. A first control circuit is formed on the second die, and the first control circuit is configured to control the first power device.

A package includes a first leadframe including a plurality of leads and a conductor, a first semiconductor die mounted on a first surface of the first leadframe and attached to a first subset of the plurality of leads and the conductor, and a second semiconductor die mounted on the first surface of the first leadframe and attached a second subset of the plurality of leads and the conductor. The conductor provides a direct electrical connection for an electrical signal between the first semiconductor die and the second semiconductor die. The package further includes a second leadframe. The first leadframe is mounted on the second leadframe via a second surface of the first leadframe, the second surface opposite the first surface. The second leadframe provides a ground return path between the between the first semiconductor die and the second semiconductor die for the electrical signal.
