Abstract

In a semiconductor device using a wide bandgap semiconductor material having a bandgap larger than that of silicon, reliability of the semiconductor device is improved by achieving a structure in which electric field strength in the vicinity of an outer end portion of a semiconductor chip is relaxed. A side surface of the semiconductor chip CHP1a is formed of a region R1 including a first corner, a region R2 including a second corner, and a region R3 interposed between the region R1 and the region R2. At this point, in a case of defining a minimum film thickness of a high electric field-resistant sealing member MR in the region R3 as t1 and defining a maximum film thickness of the high electric field-resistant sealing member MR in the region R1 as t2, a relation of t2≤1.5×t1 is satisfied.
