Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device comprising: a sealing body made of insulating resin; a first metal base plate and a second metal base plate being at least partially covered by the sealing body and each forming a first electrode; a first semiconductor chip having a first electrode over its lower surface and a second electrode pad and a control electrode pad over its upper surface with the lower surface fixed over an upper surface of the first metal base plate through a conductive adhesive; a second semiconductor chip having a first electrode over its lower surface and a second electrode pad and a control electrode pad over its upper surface with the lower surface fixed over an upper surface of the second metal base plate through a conductive adhesive; a first lead and a second lead each having one end covered by the sealing body and the other end protruding from one lateral side of the sealing body; a first conductive material electrically coupling the second electrode pad of the first semiconductor chip and the one end of the first lead; and a second conductive material electrically coupling the second electrode pad of the second semiconductor chip and the one end of the second lead, wherein the one end of the first lead is located in a higher position than the upper surface of the first metal base plate, and wherein the one end of the second lead is located in a higher position than the upper surface of the second metal base plate.
