Patent ID: 7091606

Claim:
A semiconductor module comprising: a semiconductor device comprising: at least one first circuit element; a plurality of monolayered conductive paths; the at least one first circuit element arranged on a same plane and electrically connected to the conductive paths in the same plane; and an insulating resin covering the at least one first circuit element and at least partially covering the conductive paths such that a rear surface of each conductive path is exposed through the insulating resin at a main face; a second circuit element fixed to the main face of the semiconductor device; and a covering resin covering a portion of the insulating resin and partially covering a rear surface of a conductive path exposed through the insulating resin; wherein the second circuit element is electrically connected to a portion of the conductive paths exposed at the main face; an external connecting terminal at a periphery of the main face of the semiconductor device; and the second circuit element at an area on the main face that is surrounded by the periphery of the main face of the semiconductor device; wherein a side surface of the conductive paths is covered with the insulating resin, and the rear surface of the conductive paths is partially covered by the covering resin.
