Abstract:
A semiconductor apparatus comprising:a plurality of semiconductor chips arranged in a flat form, each semiconductor chip including a first major surface having a first main electrode and a control electrode, and a second major surface at a side opposite to the first major surface and having a second main electrode, a control base plate including an opening formed at a position corresponding to the first major electrode of the semiconductor chip and an electrically conductive section formed at a position facing the control electrode of the semiconductor chip, a silicon chip resistor disposed on the electrically conductive section of the control base plate, and at least one pressure contact electrode having two distal contact ends and being positioned between the control electrode of the semiconductor chip and the electrically conductive section of the control base plate, one of the distal contact ends contacting the control electrode and the other of the distal contact ends contacting the electrically conductive section of the control base plate through the silicon chip so that the at least one pressure contact electrode transmits a control signal from the control base plate to the semiconductor chip.
