Patent ID: 10593633

Abstract:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a semiconductor module which suppresses a break in a current path and occurrence of arc discharge when a semiconductor chip is short-circuited. A semiconductor module 100 according to the present invention includes at least one semiconductor chip 2, a housing 5 in which the semiconductor chip 2 is stored, and at least one pressurizing member which is placed between an upper electrode 2a of the semiconductor chip 2 and an upper-side electrode 3 provided in the housing 5 and electrically connects the upper electrode 2a and the upper-side electrode 3, the pressurizing member 10 is elastic, and the pressurizing member 10 includes a conductive block 12 and a plate spring member 11 including current paths 11a and 11b which are opposed to each other with at least a part of the conductive block 12 located between the current paths 11a and 11b.
