A power module includes a base plate, first, second, and third semiconductor chips. At least one of a third edge or fourth edge of the first semiconductor chip is disposed adjacent to a side end of the base plate. Among a half of a distance from a first edge of the first semiconductor chip to one edge of the second semiconductor chip, a half of a distance from a second edge of the first semiconductor chip to one edge of the third semiconductor chip, and a distance from the third edge or fourth edge of the first semiconductor chip disposed adjacent to the side end of the base plate to the side end of the base plate, a length of a solder fillet formed on the edge of the first semiconductor chip at the shortest distance is formed in the shortest length.

In a semiconductor device, a thinly-molded portion covering a whole of a heat dissipating surface portion of a lead frame and a die pad space filled portion are integrally molded from a second mold resin, because of which adhesion between the thinly-molded portion and lead frame improves owing to the die pad space filled portion adhering to a side surface of the lead frame. Also, as the thinly-molded portion is partially thicker owing to the die pad space filled portion, strength of the thinly-molded portion increases, and a deficiency or cracking is unlikely to occur.

A semiconductor device A1 disclosed includes: a semiconductor element 10 having an element obverse face and element reverse face that face oppositely in a thickness direction z, with an obverse-face electrode 11 (first electrode 111) and a reverse-face electrode 12 respectively formed on the element obverse face and the element reverse face; a conductive member 22A opposing the element reverse face and conductively bonded to the reverse-face electrode 12; a conductive member 22B spaced apart from the conductive member 22A and electrically connected to the obverse-face electrode 11; and a lead member 51 having a lead obverse face 51a facing in the same direction as the element obverse face and connecting the obverse-face electrode 11 and the conductive member 22B. The lead member 51, bonded to the obverse-face electrode 11 via a lead bonding layer 321, includes a protrusion 521 protruding in the thickness direction z from the lead obverse face 51a. The protrusion 521 overlaps with the obverse-face electrode 11 as viewed in the thickness direction z. This configuration suppresses deformation of the connecting member to be pressed during sintering treatment.
