Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A semiconductor apparatus includes: a case made of resin; an insert terminal including an external terminal portion embedded in the case and having a first terminal exposed from the case, and an internal terminal portion bent in a L shape with respect to a second terminal of the external terminal portion and having a first surface exposed from the case and an anchor part in close contact with the case; and a bonding wire bonded to the first surface of the internal terminal portion.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A semiconductor apparatus comprising: a case made of resin; an insert terminal including an external terminal portion embedded in the case and having a first terminal exposed from the case, and an internal terminal portion bent in an L shape with respect to a second terminal of the external terminal portion, the internal terminal portion having a first surface exposed from the case and an anchor portion, the anchor portion being in close contact with the case and including one of: a concave portion provided on a second surface of the internal terminal portion that faces in a direction opposite to a direction in which the first surface faces, and a convex portion provided on the second surface of the internal terminal portion that faces in the direction opposite to the direction in which the first surface faces; and a bonding wire bonded to the first surface of the internal terminal portion. 2. The semiconductor apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the anchor portion includes the concave portion provided on the second surface of the internal terminal portion. 3. The semiconductor apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the concave portion is a recess having a rectangular cross section. 4. The semiconductor apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the concave portion is a recess having a trapezoidal cross section. 5. The semiconductor apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein a thickness T of the internal terminal portion is 0.5 mm≤T≤3.0 mm, a recess width W of the concave portion is 0.5 mm≤W≤5 mm, and a recess depth H of the concave portion is 0.2 mm≤H≤(T−0.3)mm. 6. The semiconductor apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the concave portion includes a plurality of recesses provided in a grid pattern. 7. The semiconductor apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the anchor portion includes the convex portion provided on the second surface of the internal terminal portion. 8. The semiconductor apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein a protrusion of the convex portion has a trapezoidal cross section. 9. The semiconductor apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a semiconductor device made of SiC in the case. 10. A semiconductor apparatus comprising: a case made of resin; an insert terminal including an external terminal portion embedded in the case and having a first terminal exposed from the case, and an internal terminal portion bent in an L shape with respect to a second terminal of the external terminal portion and having a first surface exposed from the case and an anchor portion in close contact with the case, and a bonding wire bonded to the first surface of the internal terminal portion, wherein the anchor portion is a first bent portion provided in an extending direction of the internal terminal portion and bent to be embedded in the case. 11. The semiconductor apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the first bent portion is bent so that an angle γ between the first bent portion and the first surface of the internal terminal portion is 15°≤γ≤90°. 12. The semiconductor apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the anchor portion further includes: a second bent portion bending toward the extending direction more than the first bent portion and covered with a resin constituting the case. 13. The semiconductor apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the first bent portion includes a through hole, and the through hole is filled with a resin constituting the case. 14. A semiconductor apparatus comprising: a case made of resin; an insert terminal including an external terminal portion embedded in the case and having a first terminal exposed from the case, and an internal terminal portion bent in an L shape with respect to a second terminal of the external terminal portion and having a first surface exposed from the case and an anchor portion in close contact with the case; and a bonding wire bonded to the first surface of the internal terminal portion, wherein the anchor portion is a side face bent portion provided on a side face side of the internal terminal portion and bent to be embedded in the case. 15. The semiconductor apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein the side face bent portion is bent so that an angle ε between the side face bent portion and the first surface of the internal terminal portion is 30°≤ε≤150°. 16. The semiconductor apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein the side face bent portion includes a through hole, and the through hole is filled with a resin constituting the case.
