Claim Text:
1. A method of manufacturing a power semiconductor module, comprising the steps of: preparing a frame having a first frame portion having a first end surface, a second frame portion having a second end surface facing said first end surface with a gap interposed therebetween, and a third frame portion arranged on respective side portions of said first frame portion and said second frame portion with a gap interposed therebetween and coupling said first frame portion and said second frame portion; bending said first frame portion and said second frame portion with respect to said third frame portion in a direction crossing a surface of said third frame portion, and shrinking said third frame portion in a direction in which said first end surface and said second end surface face each other; mounting a power semiconductor element on said first frame portion; mounting a control integrated circuit for controlling said power semiconductor element on said second frame portion; and using a wire having one end and the other end to connect said one end to said power semiconductor element and connect the other end to said control integrated circuit.
