Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A semiconductor device, comprising:
a semiconductor chip having a first surface and a second surface and formed in a substantial square shape with four sides including a first side, a second side, a third side and a four side in a plan view;
a switching element that performs a switching operation between a first electrode formed on the first surface side and a second electrode formed on the second surface side according to a signal input to a control electrode formed on the first surface side;
a temperature sense element which is provided on the first surface side independently from the switching element, the temperature sense element being electrically connected to a third electrode and a fourth electrode, wherein
the control electrode, the third electrode and the fourth electrode have substantially the same size and the same shape as one another,
the control electrode is arranged at a central portion of the first side of the semiconductor chip, and
the third electrode and the fourth electrode are arranged along the first side of the semiconductor chip and arranged at a same side with respect to the central portion of the first side.
