Abstract

The power semiconductor apparatus includes: a semiconductor device 401; a bonding layer on chip 416 disposed on an upper surface of the semiconductor device; and a metal lead 419 disposed on the upper surface of the semiconductor device and bonded to the bonding layer on chip, wherein the metal lead 420 has a three-laminated structure including: a second metal layer 420b having a CTE equal to or less than 5×10−6/° C., for example; and a first metal layer 420a and a third metal layer 420c sandwiching the second metal layer and having a CTE equal to or greater than the CTE of the second metal layer. Provided is a power semiconductor apparatus capable of improving reliability thereof by reducing a thermal stress to a bonding layer between a semiconductor power device and a metal lead positioned on an upper surface thereof, and reducing a resistance of the metal lead.
