Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor module, comprising the steps of: preparing a board comprising a first metal foil, an insulating sheet mounted on a top surface of the first metal foil, and at least one second metal foil mounted on a top surface of the insulating sheet; mounting at least one semiconductor device on the at least one second metal foil; preparing a resin case having at least one integral fastening portion at a periphery thereof; placing the resin case having the least one integral fastening portion, onto the board for surrounding the first metal foil, insulating sheet, at least one second metal foil, and at least one semiconductor device, a bottom end of a peripheral wall of the resin case being located above a bottom surface of the first metal foil; pouring a resin in a flowable state, into the resin case to fill a space relative to the at least one fastening portion, the first metal foil, insulating sheet, at least one second metal foil and at least one semiconductor device while forming a through hole through the at least one fastening portion and a portion of the resin below the at least one fastening portion; and heat-curing the resin, wherein the bottom surface of the first metal foil and the resin form a flat bottom surface to contact an external mounting member.
