Patent attributes
A semiconductor device (1) includes: a semiconductor chip (2) having a first main surface and a second main surface opposite to the first main surface; a heat dissipating plate (3) opposed to the first main surface; a first electrode (5) disposed between the first main surface and the heat dissipating plate (3) so as to be electrically connected to the semiconductor chip (2); a pressure contact member (4) opposed to the second main surface; a second electrode (6) disposed between the second main surface and the pressure contact member (4) so as to be electrically connected to the semiconductor chip (2); and a pressure generating mechanism that generates a pressure for pressing the first electrode (5) into contact with the heat dissipating plate (3) and the semiconductor chip (2) and pressing the second electrode (6) into contact with the pressure contact member (4) and the semiconductor chip (2).
