Abstract

A first composite substrate including an insulating substrate, a copper pattern, and a copper layer on opposite surfaces is mounted on a metal base plate. A second composite substrate and semiconductor chips are mounted on the first composite substrate and interconnected by wire bonding. The paths of current flowing in the wires and in a copper pattern of the second composite substrate are antiparallel to the paths of current flowing in respective corresponding portions of the first composite substrate. A semiconductor device is produced in which an increasing switching frequency does not increase a surge voltage generated in ON and OFF switching operations.
