In the semiconductor device according to the present embodiment, the semiconductor module 10 is bonded to the radiating fin 12 so that the concave columnar form fitting portion 16 and the convex quadrangular prism form fitting portion 18 of the semiconductor module 10 are fitted into the convex columnar form fitting portion 26 and the concave quadrangular prism form fitting portion 28 of the radiating fin 12, respectively. Silicone grease (not shown) is applied to the joint surface 24 of the radiating fin 12, the semiconductor module 10 is adhered to the radiating fin 12 with silicone grease.
Additionally, the semiconductor module 10 is fixed to the radiating fin 12 by driving a screw 32 penetrating both the screw hole 20 of the semiconductor module 10 and the screw hole 30 of the radiating fin 12.
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to the first embodiment will now be described. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of features of a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to a first embodiment.
First, as shown in FIG. 2, a semiconductor module 10 that has a joint surface 14 is manufactured, a concave columnar form fitting portion (a first fitting portion) 16 and a convex quadrangular prism form fitting portion (a second fitting portion) 18 are provided on the joint surface 14. Then, a radiating fin 12 that has a joint surface 24 is manufactured. A convex columnar form fitting portion (a third fitting portion) 26 and a concave quadrangular prism form fitting portion (a forth fitting portion) 28 are provided on the joint surface 24.
Next, Silicon grease (not shown) is applied to the joint surface 24 of the radiating fin 12. Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the semiconductor module 10 is bonded to the radiating fin 12 so that the concave columnar form fitting portion 16 and the convex quadrangular prism formfitting portion 18 of the semiconductor module 10 are fitted into the convex columnar form fitting portion 26 and the concave quadrangular prism form fitting portion 28 of the radiating fin 12, respectively. Thereby the semiconductor module 10 is adhered to the radiating fin 12 with silicone grease.

The two fitting portions of the semiconductor module 10 (the concave columnar form fitting portion 16 and the convex quadrangular prism form fitting portion 18) are different from each other in shape. The two fitting portions of the radiating fin 12 (the convex columnar form fitting portion 26 and the concave quadrangular prism form fitting portion 28) are different from each other in shape. Therefore, when the semiconductor module 10 is fixed to the radiating fin 12, the concave columnar form fitting portion 16 of the semiconductor module 10 have to be fitted into the convex columnar form fitting portion 26 of the radiating fin 12 and the convex quadrangular prism form fitting portion 18 of the semiconductor module 10 have to be fitted into the concave quadrangular prism form fitting portion 28 of the radiating fin 12. This prevents the semiconductor module 10 from being fixed to the radiating fin 12 in a state where rotating 180 degrees with respect to the correct position.
Additionally, when the semiconductor module 10 is fixed to the radiating fin 12, the screw 32 is tightened while the fitting portions of the semiconductor module 10 are fitted into the fitting portions of the radiating fin 12. Thereby even if the force to tighten the screw 32 is applied to the semiconductor module 10 and the radiating fin 12, the position of the semiconductor module 10 to the radiating fin 12 is prevented from moving since these fitting portions achieve a role of a stopper.
In the present embodiment, the concave columnar form fitting portion 16 and the convex quadrangular prism form fitting portion 18 are provided on the semiconductor module 10 side, the convex columnar form fitting portion 26 and the concave quadrangular prism form fitting portion 28 are provided on the radiating fin 12 side.

The semiconductor device according to the present embodiment includes a semiconductor module 10 and a radiating fin 12. At both ends of the semiconductor module 10, screw holes 20 are provided. On a joint surface 14 of the semiconductor module 10, a first concave fitting portion (a first fitting portion) 34 and a second concave fitting portion (a second fitting portion) 36 are provided. The first concave fitting portion 34 and the second concave fitting portion 36 are larger than the screw hole 20, and the screw hole 20 lies inside each of these concaves. In both side faces of the semiconductor module 10, a plurality of leads 22 are provided.
On the other hand, at both ends of the radiating fin 12, screw holes 30 corresponding to the above-described screw holes 20 of the semiconductor module 10 are provided. A first convex fitting portion (a third fitting portion) 38 and a second convex fitting portion (a forth fitting portion) 40 are provided on the joint surface 24 of the radiating fin 12. The first convex fitting portion 38 and the second convex fitting portion 40 are larger than the screw hole 30, which lies inside each of these convexes.
In the semiconductor device according to the present embodiment, the semiconductor module 10 is bonded to the radiating fin 12 so that the first concave fitting portion 34 and the second concave fitting portion 36 of the semiconductor module 10 are fitted into the first convex fitting portion 38 and the second convex fitting portion 40 of the radiating fin 12, respectively. Silicone grease (not shown) is applied to the joint surface 24 of the radiating fin 12, the semiconductor module 10 is adhered to the radiating fin 12 with silicone grease.

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to the second embodiment will now be described. First, as shown in FIG. 6, a semiconductor module 10 that has a joint surface 14 is manufactured, a first concave fitting portion (a first fitting portion) 34 and a second concave fitting portion (a second fitting portion) 36 are provided on the joint surface 14. Then, a radiating fin 12 that has a joint surface 24 is manufactured. A first convex fitting portion (a third fitting portion) 38 and a second convex fitting portion (a forth fitting portion) 40 are provided on the joint surface 24.
Next, Silicon grease (not shown) is applied to the joint surface 24 of the radiating fin 12.

Thereby the semiconductor module 10 is adhered to the radiating fin 12 with silicone grease.
Next, the screw 32 penetrating both the screw hole 20 of the first concave fitting portion 34 and the screw hole 30 of the first convex fitting portion 38, and the screw 32 penetrating both the screw hole 20 of the second concave fitting portion 36 and the screw hole 30 of the second convex fitting portion 40 are tightened. Thereby the semiconductor module 10 is fixed to the radiating fin 12.
Advantages of the present embodiment will now be described by comparing it with a comparative example. FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor module according to a comparative example, being described so as to include a fitting portion.
In the joint surface 14 of the semiconductor module 10 according to the comparative example, a concave fitting portion 46 is provided under a semiconductor element (IGBT (FWD)) 44 that is mounted on a frame 42 placed inside the semiconductor module 10. Thereby a insulating layer 48 of the semiconductor module 10 gets thinner under the semiconductor element 44. This causes to a reduction in the dielectric strength of the semiconductor module 10.
On the other hand, in the semiconductor device according to the present embodiment, the first concave fitting portion 34 and the second concave fitting portion 36 is provided on the position of the screw hole 20 needed to fix the semiconductor module 10. Thereby the insulating layer 48 of the semiconductor module 10 couldn't get thinner under the semiconductor element 44. This prevents a reduction in the dielectric strength of the semiconductor module 10.
In the present embodiment, when the semiconductor module 10 is fixed to the radiating fin 12, the screw 32 is tightened while the fitting portions of the semiconductor module 10 are fitted into the fitting portions of the radiating fin 12. This prevents, as same as in the first embodiment, the semiconductor module 10 from moving from the correct position to the radiating fin 12 when the semiconductor module 10 is fixed to the radiating fin 12.
Third Embodiment
A configuration of a semiconductor device according to a third embodiment will now be described with respect only to a point of difference from the second embodiment. FIG. 9 is a plan view of joint surfaces of a semiconductor module and a radiating fin according to the third embodiment. FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view of a fitting portion of a semiconductor module and a radiating fin according to the third embodiment.
On a joint surface 14 of a semiconductor module 10, a convex fitting portion (a first fitting portion) 50 and a concave fitting portion (a second fitting portion) 52 are provided. On the other hand, on a joint surface 24 of a radiating fin 12, a concave fitting portion (a third fitting portion) 54 and a convex fitting portion (a forth fitting portion) 56 are provided. The concave fitting portion 54 of the radiating fin 12 has a shape to fit into the convex fitting portion 50 of the semiconductor module 10, and not to fit into the concave fitting portion 52 of the semiconductor module 10. The convex fitting portion 56 of the radiating fin 12 has a shape to fit into the concave fitting portion 52 of the semiconductor module 10, and not to fit into the convex fitting portion 50 of the semiconductor module 10.
Therefore, when the semiconductor module 10 is fixed to the radiating fin 12, the convex fitting portion 50 of the semiconductor module 10 have to be fitted into the concave fitting portion 54 of the radiating fin 12 and the concave fitting portion 52 of the semiconductor module 10 have to be fitted into the convex fitting portion 56 of the radiating fin 12. This prevents the semiconductor module 10 from being fixed to the radiating fin 12 in a state where rotating 180 degrees with respect to the correct position.
In addition, a reduction in the dielectric strength of the semiconductor module 10 is prevented as same as in the second embodiment. Also, when the semiconductor module 10 is fixed to the radiating fin 12, the semiconductor module 10 is prevented from moving from the correct position on the radiating fin 12.
Fourth Embodiment
A configuration of a semiconductor device according to a fourth embodiment will now be described with respect only to a point of difference from the first embodiment. FIG. 11 is a perspective view of joint surfaces of a semiconductor module and a radiating fin according to the fourth embodiment. In FIG. 11, the semiconductor module is shown so that the joint surface thereof directs upward, for easiness to view.
On a joint surface 14 of the semiconductor module 10, a first rail-like fitting portion (a first fitting portion) 58 and a second rail-like fitting portion (a second fitting portion) 60 are provided.

The second rail-like fitting portion 60 extends from one end to the other end in the joint surface 14 in the same manner while having a concave triangular cross-section surface.
On the other hand, on a joint surface 24 of the radiating fin 12, a third rail-like fitting portion (a third fitting portion) 62 and a forth rail-like fitting portion (a forth fitting portion) 64 are provided. The third rail-like fitting portion 62 extends from one end to the other end in the joint surface 24 while having a concave quadrangular cross-section surface. The forth rail-like fitting portion 64 extends from one end to the other end in the joint surface 24 in the same manner while having a convex triangular cross-section surface. The third rail-like fitting portion 62 has a shape to fit into the first rail-like fitting portion 58 of the semiconductor module 10. The forth rail-like fitting portion 64 has a shape to fit into the second rail-like fitting portion 60 of the semiconductor module 10.
Therefore, the fitting portions of both the semiconductor module 10 and the radiating fin 12 come into contact with each other over a large area, compared with those in the first embodiment. Thereby, when the semiconductor module 10 is fixed to the radiating fin 12, the semiconductor module 10 is prevented from moving from the correct position on the radiating fin 12 more certainly, compared with that in the first embodiment.
In addition, as same as in the first embodiment, the semiconductor module 10 is prevented from being fixed to the radiating fin 12 in a state where rotating 180 degrees with respect to the correct position.
