Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device having a sealing structure for a semiconductor chip, comprising: a plurality of main electrodes, at least some of the main electrodes being provided on each of at least two different main surfaces of the semiconductor chip; a plurality of external electrodes electrically connected to the main electrodes via connection members, respectively; a sealing member made of a glass based sealing material for encapsulating at least the semiconductor chip, the main electrodes and the connection members; and a brazing member made of a silver based brazing material having a high fusing point, which is integrally connected between a part of the main electrodes and a part of the external electrodes, wherein the semiconductor chip is of a wide gap type, and the fusing point of the glass based sealing material is lower than that of the silver based brazing material.
