Abstract:
1. A semiconductor module comprising: a heat sink having a mounting face; a semiconductor device mounted on the mounting face, the semiconductor device generating a relatively large amount of heat during operation; an electronic component mounted on the mounting face so as to be adjacent to the semiconductor device, the electronic component generating a relatively small amount of heat during operation; and a thermally-conductive sheet member covering part of a target component, the target component being any one of the semiconductor device and the electronic component, wherein: the thermally-conductive sheet member has a lower part coming into contact with the mounting face and a side part having a sheet shape and extending from the lower part to a space between the semiconductor device and the electronic component, the target component has four side surfaces, the side part of the thermally-conductive sheet member covers at least one of the four side surfaces of the target component, and the at least one of the four side surfaces is a surface facing the other component different from the target component of the semiconductor device and the electronic component, and.
