Abstract:
1. A semiconductor module comprising: a first semiconductor element that has a first front surface electrode on a front surface and has a first back surface electrode on a back surface; a first bottom member that is contacting the first back surface electrode; a first cylindrical body that is formed by an insulating body, is formed in a cylindrical shape, surrounds the first semiconductor element, is fixed to the first bottom member, and in which a first screw groove is formed on an outer peripheral surface or an inner peripheral surface; a lid member that is formed by an electric conductor, is contacting the first front surface electrode, and has a second screw groove that engages with the first screw groove; a first conducting member that is formed by an electric conductor, has a first through-hole into which the first cylindrical body is inserted and a first extended portion that extends outward from an outer peripheral surface of the first cylindrical body, is provided outside of the first cylindrical body, and is contacting the lid member; a second conducting member that is formed by an electric conductor, is provided outside of the first cylindrical body, and is contacting the first bottom member; and a first insulating member that insulates between the first conducting member and the second conducting member, wherein the lid member is fixed to the first cylindrical body by engagement of the second screw groove with the first screw groove; the first conducting member is fixed with respect to the lid member and the first bottom member, by being sandwiched between the lid member and the first bottom member that are fixed to the first cylindrical body; the first semiconductor element is fixed with respect to the lid member and the first bottom member, by being sandwiched between the lid member and the first bottom member; a first protruding portion is formed on one of the outer peripheral surface of the first cylindrical body and an inner surface of the first through-hole, a first recessed portion that is able to engage with the first protruding portion is formed on the other of the outer peripheral surface of the first cylindrical body and the inner surface of the first through-hole, and when the first cylindrical body is inserted into the first through-hole, the first protruding portion and the first recessed portion engage, such that the first conducting member is positioned with respect to the first cylindrical body; a plurality of positioning positions of the first conducting member with respect to the first cylindrical body are provided in a circumferential direction by the first protruding portion being formed in at least one location in the circumferential direction, and the first recessed portion being formed in a plurality of locations in the circumferential direction; and the first extended portion extends in one direction, for among a plurality of directions in the circumferential direction of the first cylindrical body, corresponding to the plurality of positioning positions of the first conducting member.
