まず、第2実施形態の半導体モジュールの構造について説明する。図6は、半導体モジュールの縦断面図である。
次に、第2実施形態に係る半導体モジュール200の製造方法について説明する。図8A、図8B、図8C、図8D、図8Eは、半導体モジュールの製造方法の説明図である。図9は、焼結性接合材塗布後の状態を示す平面図である。
所定間隔で互いに離れて配置された複数の小片形状の焼結性接合材112を、治具500で押さえつけて連結することにより1つの島状にしてから焼結する。ここで、複数の小片形状の状態で焼結性接合材112を焼結すると、半導体素子101の周辺部下方の焼結性接合材112に含まれる有機溶剤112aの方が、中央部下方の焼結性接合材112に含まれる有機溶剤112aよりも速く減少するため、周辺部下方に形成された素子接合部材に亀裂が発生するおそれがある。第2実施形態のように、複数の小片形状の焼結性接合材112を1つの島状にしてから焼結することにより、焼結性接合材112全体における有機溶剤112aの減少速度を均一にすることができ、素子接合部材202の亀裂の発生を抑制することができる。したがって、半導体素子101と基板部材103との接合不良が抑制された半導体モジュール200を提供することができる。なお、複数の小片形状の焼結性接合材112が互いに連結されて、1つにまとまれば、必ずしも島状の形状になっていなくても、焼結性接合材112全体における有機溶剤112aの減少速度を均一にすることができる。よって、複数の小片形状の焼結性接合材112が互いに連結された後に呈する形状は、島状でなくてもよい。ただし、島状の形状とすることにより、焼結性接合材112全体における有機溶剤112aの減少速度をより均一にすることができる。
次に、本開示の第3実施形態について説明する。
まず、第3実施形態に係る半導体モジュールの構造について説明する。図10は、半導体モジュールの素子接合部材の形状を示す平面図である。
次に、第3実施形態に係る半導体モジュールの製造方法について説明する。なお、第2実施形態と同じ工程については説明を簡略化する。
第3実施形態によれば、第2実施形態と同様に、半導体素子101と基板部材103との接合不良を抑制できる半導体モジュール300を提供することができる。素子接合部材302に貫通孔202bが形成されていないので、第2実施形態の半導体モジュール200と比較して、素子接合部材302と半導体素子101および基板部材103との接合面積を大きくすることができ、半導体素子101の放熱性をさらに向上させることができる。
