Abstract:
1. A semiconductor power module comprising: a base member; a semiconductor power device having a bonding surface and a rear surface with the rear surface bonded to the base member; a metal block, having a bonding surface and a rear surface with the rear surface of the metal block being bonded to the bonding surface of the semiconductor power device, uprighted from the bonding surface of the semiconductor power device in a direction separating from the base member and employed as a wiring member for the semiconductor power device; an external terminal bonded to the bonding surface of the metal block for supplying power to the semiconductor power device through the metal block; a case having a base portion provided with a device region where the semiconductor power device is arranged, and a frame portion fixed to the base portion for surrounding the device region; and a top plate, made of resin, fixed to the frame portion of the case and opposed to the device region, wherein the external terminal includes a plate terminal provided along the top plate, and the top plate has a support portion overlapping with the plate terminal in plan view for supporting the plate terminal from a side of a rear surface thereof.
