Abstract
A power module according to the present invention is a power module configured such that a power device chip is arranged within an outer casing and an electrode of the power device chip is connected to an external electrode that is integrated with the outer casing. The power module includes: a heat spreader fixed inside the outer casing; the power device chip solder-bonded on the heat spreader; an insulating dam formed on the heat spreader so as to surround the power device chip; and an internal main electrode having one end thereof solder-bonded to the electrode of the power device chip and the other end thereof fixed to an upper surface of the dam. The external electrode and the other end of the internal main electrode are electrically connected to each other by wire bonding.
