Abstract

A lower semiconductor element is mounted facing down on an insulating circuit board, and an upper semiconductor element is stacked facing up on the lower semiconductor element. Openings are provided in the insulating circuit board at a location facing the element electrodes of the lower semiconductor element, and the element electrodes of the lower semiconductor element are connected to the board electrodes on the lower surface of the insulating circuit board through the openings. Also, the element electrodes of the upper semiconductor element are connected to the board electrodes on the upper surface of the insulating circuit board. Thus, a high-density semiconductor device is provided by stacking a plurality of semiconductor elements.
