A semiconductor device has a resistance element including a metal block, a resin layer disposed on the metal block, and a resistance film disposed on the resin layer and an insulated circuit board including an insulating plate and a circuit pattern disposed on the insulating plate and having a bonding area on a front surface thereof to which a back surface of the metal block of the resistance element is bonded. The area of the circuit pattern is larger in plan view than that of a front surface of the resistance element. The metal block has a thickness greater than that of the circuit pattern in a direction orthogonal to the back surface of the metal block. As a result, the metal block properly conducts heat generated by the resistance film of the resistance element to the circuit pattern.
