Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a semiconductor device which includes a bonding wire, one end of which is connected to a bipolar device, the other end of which is connected to a conductive member, and the center of which is connected to a unipolar device, said semiconductor device being capable of improving the reliability of wire bonding. A package ( 4 ) includes a die pad ( 61 ), a source lead ( 63 ), a first MOSFET ( 11 ), and a first Schottky barrier diode ( 21 ). A source electrode ( 11 S ) of the first MOSFET ( 11 ), an anode electrode ( 21 A ) of the first Schottky barrier diode ( 21 ), and the source lead ( 63 ) are electrically connected by the bonding wire ( 31 ), one end of which is bonded to the source electrode ( 11 S ) of the first MOSFET ( 11 ), the other end of which is bonded to the source lead ( 63 ), and the center of which is bonded to the anode electrode ( 21 A ) of the first Schottky barrier diode ( 21 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A semiconductor device, comprising: a die pad; a SiC-MOSFET die-bonded to a surface of the die pad, the SiC-MOSFET having a first electrode pad on a surface opposite to a die-bonded surface; a Schottky barrier diode die-bonded to the surface of the die pad, the Schottky barrier diode having a second electrode pad to be connected electrically to the first electrode pad on a surface opposite to a die-bonded surface; a conductive member disposed lat…
