Abstract:
1. A semiconductor unit comprising: electrically conductive plates, each of the plates being in the shape of the letter L, having a flat body portion and a leg portion perpendicular to the flat body portion; a pair of a semiconductor chip and a spacer that are laminated and fixed with each other, the pair being sandwiched by a flat body portion of each of two of the electrically conductive plates, the electrically conductive plates being disposed opposing each other; control terminals, one side end of one or more of the control terminals being connected to control electrodes of the semiconductor chip; and resin that seals off the flat body portions of the electrically conductive plates, the spacer, the semiconductor chip, and the one side ends of the control terminals; wherein ends of the leg portions of the electrically conductive plates and ends of the control terminals opposite the one side ends are projecting out of the resin, and wherein the semiconductor chip is an IGBT chip, and a FWD chip is connected in anti-parallel to the IGBT chip.
