Abstract
In this semiconductor device, a positioning protrusion is formed at a side surface of a sealing resin from which one end of a main electrode wire protrudes. Thus, the outer size of the sealing resin can be reduced as compared to a case where a positioning protrusion is formed at the bottom of the sealing resin. In addition, a thickness regulating protrusion is provided with a space from solder. Thus, it is possible to prevent interface separation or crack that would occur starting from a contact part between the thickness regulating protrusion and the solder, whereby the life of a joining part between a semiconductor module and a cooler can be ensured. Accordingly, a semiconductor device having enhanced heat dissipation property and reliability is obtained without increase in the outer size of the semiconductor module.
