A semiconductor module includes: a circuit board; a semiconductor chip having a first electrode pad on a first surface, bonded to the circuit board at a second surface that is opposite to the first surface, and having side surfaces intersecting the first surface and the second surface; an external terminal electrically connected to the first electrode pad; and an insulating member configured to fix the external terminal, wherein by the insulating member contacting the side surfaces of the semiconductor chip at a plurality of locations, parallel movement and rotational movement of the semiconductor chip relative to the insulating member in a plane parallel, to the first surface are restricted, and wherein the external terminal penetrates the insulating member.
