Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An object of the present invention is to provide a highly reliable semiconductor device that allows voids remaining in a bonding material to be reduced. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor chip, an insulation substrate, a metal base plate, a resin section, and a bump. The semiconductor chip is warped into a concave shape. On the insulation substrate, the semiconductor chip is mounted by bonding. The metal base plate has the insulation substrate mounted thereon and has a heat dissipation property. The resin section seals the insulation substrate and the semiconductor chip. The bump is disposed in a joint between the semiconductor chip and the insulation substrate. A warp amount of the semiconductor chip warped into a concave shape is equal to or greater than 1 μm and less than a height of the bump.
