Abstract:
1. A double-face-cooled semiconductor module having incorporated therein an upper and lower arms series circuit of an inverter circuit, comprising: a first and a second heat dissipation members each having a heat dissipation surface on one side and a conducting member formed on another side through an insulation member, the first and the second dissipation plates disposed with the heat dissipation surfaces thereof facing each other; a fixing portion provided on the heat dissipation surface of the first heat dissipation member that fixes collector surfaces of semiconductor chips of the upper and lower arms of the semiconductor module, and a gate conductor connected to a gate terminal of the semiconductor module provided on the conductor formed on the first heat dissipation member; the gate electrode terminal of the semiconductor chip and the gate conductor being electrically connected to each other; and the conducting member formed on the second heat dissipation member being connected to an emitter surface of the semiconductor chip fixed to the first heat dissipation member.
