Abstract

A small-sized, light-weight, low-cost power semiconductor device with excellent productivity and vibration resistance is obtained. A mold resin casing (1) is made of a thermosetting resin, such as epoxy resin, and has a top surface (1T) and a bottom surface (1B). A through hole (2) is formed in a non-peripheral portion (in this example, approximately in the center) of the mold resin casing (1) to pass through between the top surface (1T) and the bottom surface (1B). Electrodes (3N, 3P, 4a, 4b) have their first ends projected from sides of the mold resin casing (1). The bottom surface (5B) of a heat spreader (5) is exposed in the bottom surface (1B) of the mold resin casing (1). The heat spreader (5) has an opening (6) formed around the through hole (2).
