A second lead frame is set onto a conductive layer and a busbar. The second lead frame has holes previously formed at opposite ends thereof, and pieces of solder material or solder pieces are inserted into the holes. Then, the solder pieces are vibrated by an ultrasonically vibrating tool, whereby the solder pieces are melted without having a high temperature. The second lead frame is thus bonded to the conductive layer and the busbar. A semiconductor element and the busbar are connected by a first lead frame and the second lead frame. The connection structure thereof is such that the second lead frame to be bonded by ultrasonic bonding or other bonding methods is not directly in contact with the semiconductor element, which eliminates the risk of damage to the semiconductor element.

A semiconductor device includes: two conductive members; a semiconductor element bonded to one of the two conductive members; and a relay terminal bonded to the two conductive members. The relay terminal has a first strip portion and a second strip portion that are bonded to the two conductive members, and a connecting portion that connects the first strip portion and the second strip portion. The first strip portion has a first side. The connecting portion has a first intermediate side, and a first connecting side connecting the first side and the first intermediate side. As viewed in the thickness direction, the first connecting side is located away from a first virtual intersection that is an intersection of a first virtual line overlapping with the first side and a second virtual line overlapping with the first intermediate side.
