Description
本開示は、半導体装置に関する。
This disclosure relates to a semiconductor device.
半導体素子を備えた半導体装置は、様々な構成が提案されている。特許文献1には、従来の半導体装置の一例が開示されている。同文献に開示された半導体装置は、リード、半導体素子および封止樹脂を備えている。封止樹脂は、リードの一部、および半導体素子を覆っている。
Various configurations have been proposed for semiconductor devices equipped with semiconductor elements. Patent Document 1 discloses an example of a conventional semiconductor device. The semiconductor device disclosed in this document includes leads, a semiconductor element, and a sealing resin. The sealing resin covers a portion of the leads and the semiconductor element.
特許文献1に記載の半導体装置において、半導体素子は、リード上にフリップチップ接合により搭載されている。リードは、厚さ方向の一方側を向く主面を有する。半導体素子は、当該主面に対向する側に設けられた複数の電極を有し、複数の電極が、たとえばはんだなどからなる接合層を介してリードの主面に接合されている。上記リードは、複数の電極を介して半導体素子の内部回路に導通している。半導体素子で発生した熱は、複数の電極、およびリードを介して放熱される。しかしながら、半導体装置の大電流化等に伴い、半導体素子での発熱量が大きくなると、上記のように複数の電極、およびリードを介した放熱が不十分となることが懸念される。
In the semiconductor device described in Patent Document 1, the semiconductor element is mounted on the leads by flip-chip bonding. The leads have a main surface facing one side in the thickness direction. The semiconductor element has multiple electrodes provided on the side opposite the main surface, and the multiple electrodes are bonded to the main surface of the leads via a bonding layer made of, for example, solder. The leads are conductive to the internal circuit of the semiconductor element via the multiple electrodes. Heat generated by the semiconductor element is dissipated via the multiple electrodes and leads. However, as the amount of heat generated by the semiconductor element increases with increasing current in semiconductor devices, there is a concern that heat dissipation via the multiple electrodes and leads as described above will be insufficient.

As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the multiple leads 11A to 11C are strip-shaped extending in the second direction y when viewed in the thickness direction z. The multiple leads 11A to 11C are arranged along the second direction y. The multiple leads 11A to 11C are arranged in the order of lead 11A, lead 11C, lead 11C from the y1 side of the second direction y to the y2 side of the second direction y. The leads 11A and 11B are input terminals to which the DC power (voltage) to be converted in the semiconductor device A10 is input. The lead 11A is the positive electrode (P terminal). The lead 11B is the negative electrode (N terminal). The lead 11C is an output terminal to which the AC power (voltage) converted by the switching circuit 212A configured in the semiconductor element 20 is output.
図3に示すように、リード11Aは、第2方向yにおいて複数のリード12とリード11Cとの間に位置する。リード11Cは、第2方向yにおいてリード11Aとリード11Bとの間に位置する。リード11A~11Cの各々は、主部111および一対の側部112を含む。図3および図4に示すように、主部111は、第1方向xに延びている。複数のリード11A~11Cにおいて、半導体素子20は、主部111の主面101に支持されている。一対の側部112は、主部111の第1方向xの両端につながっている。図3、図4、図10および図11に示すように、一対の側部112の各々は、端面112Aを有する。端面112Aは、リード11A~11Cの主面101および裏面102の双方につながり、且つ第1方向xを向く。端面112Aは、封止樹脂40から露出している。
As shown in FIG. 3, lead 11A is located between the multiple leads 12 and lead 11C in the second direction y. Lead 11C is located between lead 11A and lead 11B in the second direction y. Each of leads 11A to 11C includes a main portion 111 and a pair of side portions 112. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, main portion 111 extends in the first direction x. In the multiple leads 11A to 11C, the semiconductor element 20 is supported on the main surface 101 of main portion 111. The pair of side portions 112 are connected to both ends of main portion 111 in the first direction x. As shown in FIGS. 3, 4, 10 and 11, each of the pair of side portions 112 has an end surface 112A. The end surface 112A is connected to both main surface 101 and back surface 102 of leads 11A to 11C and faces the first direction x. The end surface 112A is exposed from the sealing resin 40.
図3に示すように、リード11Bは、リード11Cよりも第2方向yのy2側に位置する。このため、リード11Bは、複数のリード11A~11Cのうち第2方向yのy2側に位置する。リード11Bは、主部111、一対の側部112および複数の突出部113を含む。複数の突出部113は、主部111の第2方向yのy2側から突出している。隣り合う2つの突出部113の間には、封止樹脂40が充填されている。図9に示すように、複数の突出部113の各々は、副端面113Aを有する。副端面113Aは、リード11Bの主面101および裏面102の双方につながり、且つ第2方向yのy2側を向く。副端面113Aは、封止樹脂40から露出している。図7に示すように、複数の副端面113Aは、第1方向xに沿って所定の間隔で配列されている。
3, lead 11B is located on the y2 side of lead 11C in the second direction y. Therefore, lead 11B is located on the y2 side of the multiple leads 11A to 11C in the second direction y. Lead 11B includes a main portion 111, a pair of side portions 112, and multiple protrusions 113. The multiple protrusions 113 protrude from the y2 side of the main portion 111 in the second direction y. Sealing resin 40 is filled between two adjacent protrusions 113. As shown in FIG. 9, each of the multiple protrusions 113 has a minor end surface 113A. The minor end surface 113A is connected to both the main surface 101 and the back surface 102 of lead 11B and faces the y2 side in the second direction y. The minor end surface 113A is exposed from the sealing resin 40. As shown in FIG. 7, the multiple minor end surfaces 113A are arranged at a predetermined interval along the first direction x.
図3に示すように、リード11Bの一対の側部112の各々には、切込部112Bが形成されている。切込部112Bは、リード11Bの主面101から裏面102に至り、且つ端面112Aから第1方向xに凹んでいる。これにより、端面112Aは、第2方向yにおいて互いに離隔した2つの領域に分断されている。切込部112Bには、封止樹脂40が充填されている。
As shown in FIG. 3, a notch 112B is formed in each of a pair of side portions 112 of lead 11B. The notch 112B extends from the main surface 101 to the back surface 102 of lead 11B, and is recessed in the first direction x from the end surface 112A. This divides the end surface 112A into two regions spaced apart from each other in the second direction y. The notch 112B is filled with sealing resin 40.
図3および図4に示すように、複数のリード11A~11Cの各々において、主面101の面積は、裏面102の面積よりも大である。半導体装置A10が示す例においては、リード11Aおよびリード11Cの各々の裏面102の面積は、ともに等しい。リード11Bの裏面102の面積は、リード11Aおよびリード11Cの各々の裏面102の面積よりも大である。
As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the area of the main surface 101 of each of the multiple leads 11A to 11C is larger than the area of the back surface 102. In the example shown by semiconductor device A10, the areas of the back surfaces 102 of each of leads 11A and 11C are equal. The area of the back surface 102 of lead 11B is larger than the area of the back surfaces 102 of each of leads 11A and 11C.
リード11A~11Cの各々において、半導体素子20が支持される主部111の主面101には、たとえば銀(Ag)めっきを施してもよい。さらに、リード11A~11Cの各々において、封止樹脂40から露出する裏面102、一対の端面112Aおよび複数の副端面113Aには、たとえば錫(Sn)めっきを施してもよい。錫めっきに替えて、たとえばニッケル(Ni)、パラジウム(Pd)、金(Au)の順に積層された複数の金属めっきを採用してもよい。
In each of the leads 11A-11C, the main surface 101 of the main portion 111 on which the semiconductor element 20 is supported may be plated with, for example, silver (Ag). Furthermore, in each of the leads 11A-11C, the back surface 102 exposed from the sealing resin 40, the pair of end faces 112A, and the multiple minor end faces 113A may be plated with, for example, tin (Sn). Instead of tin plating, multiple metal platings may be used, for example, layered in the order of nickel (Ni), palladium (Pd), and gold (Au).
複数のリード12は、図3に示すように、複数のリード11A~11Cよりも第2方向yのy1側に位置する。複数のリード12のいずれか一つは、半導体素子20に構成された制御回路212Bの接地端子である。その他の複数のリード12の各々には、制御回路212Bを駆動させるための電力(電圧)、または制御回路212Bに伝達するための電気信号が入力される。図3、図4および図9に示すように、複数のリード12の各々は、端面121を有する。端面121は、リード12の主面101および裏面102の双方につながり、且つ第2方向yのy1側を向く。端面121は、封止樹脂40から露出している。図8に示すように、複数の端面121は、第1方向xに沿って所定の間隔で配列されている。
As shown in FIG. 3, the multiple leads 12 are located on the y1 side of the multiple leads 11A to 11C in the second direction y. One of the multiple leads 12 is a ground terminal of the control circuit 212B configured in the semiconductor element 20. To each of the other multiple leads 12, power (voltage) for driving the control circuit 212B or an electrical signal to be transmitted to the control circuit 212B is input. As shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 9, each of the multiple leads 12 has an end face 121. The end face 121 is connected to both the main surface 101 and the back surface 102 of the lead 12 and faces the y1 side in the second direction y.

次に、半導体装置A10の作用効果について説明する。
Next, the effects of the semiconductor device A10 will be explained.
半導体装置A10は、主面101を有する導電部材10と、導電部材10に対して厚さ方向zのz2側に配置され、主面101に支持された半導体素子20と、導電部材10の一部、および半導体素子20を覆う封止樹脂40と、を備える。半導体素子20は、素子本体21、複数の第1導電性柱状部22A、複数の第1導電性柱状部22B、および複数の第2導電性柱状部23を有する。複数の第1導電性柱状部22Aおよび複数の第1導電性柱状部22Bは、素子本体21から厚さ方向zのz2側に突出し、厚さ方向zにおいて素子本体21と導電部材10の主面101との間に介在している。複数の第1導電性柱状部22Aおよび複数の第1導電性柱状部22Bの各々は、素子本体21および主面101の双方に電気的に接続されている。複数の第2導電性柱状部23の各々は、素子本体21の上に配置されており、厚さ方向zに突出している。複数の第2導電性柱状部23の各々の先端部231は、封止樹脂40に接しており、当該封止樹脂40に覆われている。これにより、複数の第2導電性柱状部23の各々は、導電部材10に導通していない。複数の第2導電性柱状部23は、電極として機能する複数の第1導電性柱状部22A,22Bとは異なり、半導体装置A10の内部において半導体素子20に流れる電流の経路を構成しない。このような構成によれば、半導体素子20で発生した熱は、複数の第1導電性柱状部22A,22Bおよび導電部材10に伝わって放熱されるとともに、複数の第2導電性柱状部23にも伝わる。したがって、半導体装置A10は、半導体素子20で発生した熱の放熱性を向上することが可能となる。
The semiconductor device A10 includes a conductive member 10 having a main surface 101, a semiconductor element 20 disposed on the z2 side of the conductive member 10 in the thickness direction z and supported by the main surface 101, and a sealing resin 40 covering a part of the conductive member 10 and the semiconductor element 20. The semiconductor element 20 has an element body 21, a plurality of first conductive columnar portions 22A, a plurality of first conductive columnar portions 22B, and a plurality of second conductive columnar portions 23. The plurality of first conductive columnar portions 22A and the plurality of first conductive columnar portions 22B protrude from the element body 21 to the z2 side in the thickness direction z, and are interposed between the element body 21 and the main surface 101 of the conductive member 10 in the thickness direction z. Each of the plurality of first conductive columnar portions 22A and the plurality of first conductive columnar portions 22B is electrically connected to both the element body 21 and the main surface 101. Each of the second conductive columnar parts 23 is disposed on the element body 21 and protrudes in the thickness direction z. The tip 231 of each of the second conductive columnar parts 23 is in contact with the sealing resin 40 and is covered by the sealing resin 40. As a result, each of the second conductive columnar parts 23 is not electrically connected to the conductive member 10. Unlike the first conductive columnar parts 22A and 22B that function as electrodes, the second conductive columnar parts 23 do not form a path for a current flowing through the semiconductor element 20 inside the semiconductor device A10. With this configuration, the heat generated in the semiconductor element 20 is dissipated by being transmitted to the first conductive columnar parts 22A and 22B and the conductive member 10, and is also transmitted to the second conductive columnar parts 23. Therefore, the semiconductor device A10 can improve the heat dissipation of the heat generated in the semiconductor element 20.
本実施形態において、複数の第2導電性柱状部23は、素子本体21から厚さ方向zのz2側に突出している。複数の第2導電性柱状部23は、厚さ方向zに見て導電部材10の主面101と重ならない。第2導電性柱状部23の構成材料は、第1導電性柱状部22A,22Bの構成材料と同一である。このような構成によれば、複数の第2導電性柱状部23は、複数の第1導電性柱状部22A,22Bとともに、素子本体21の厚さ方向zのz2側に一括して形成することができる。
In this embodiment, the multiple second conductive columnar portions 23 protrude from the element body 21 toward the z2 side in the thickness direction z. The multiple second conductive columnar portions 23 do not overlap with the main surface 101 of the conductive member 10 when viewed in the thickness direction z. The constituent material of the second conductive columnar portions 23 is the same as the constituent material of the first conductive columnar portions 22A, 22B. With this configuration, the multiple second conductive columnar portions 23 can be formed collectively on the z2 side of the element body 21 in the thickness direction z together with the multiple first conductive columnar portions 22A, 22B.
複数の第2導電性柱状部23の各々は、複数の導電パッド24のいずれかに接しており、当該導電パッド24から厚さ方向zのz2側に突出している。このような構成によれば、半導体素子20で発生した熱を、導電パッド24を介して第2導電性柱状部23に効率よく逃がすことができる。このことは、半導体装置A10の放熱性を向上するうえで好ましい。
Each of the multiple second conductive columnar portions 23 is in contact with one of the multiple conductive pads 24 and protrudes from the conductive pad 24 to the z2 side in the thickness direction z. With this configuration, heat generated in the semiconductor element 20 can be efficiently dissipated to the second conductive columnar portion 23 via the conductive pad 24. This is preferable in terms of improving the heat dissipation properties of the semiconductor device A10.

半導体装置A11において、複数の第2導電性柱状部23の各々は、素子本体21の上に配置されており、厚さ方向zに突出している。複数の第2導電性柱状部23の各々の先端部231は、封止樹脂40に接しており、当該封止樹脂40に覆われている。これにより、複数の第2導電性柱状部23の各々は、導電部材10に導通していない。複数の第2導電性柱状部23は、電極として機能する複数の第1導電性柱状部22A,22Bとは異なり、半導体装置A11の内部において半導体素子20に流れる電流の経路を構成しない。このような構成によれば、半導体素子20で発生した熱は、複数の第1導電性柱状部22A,22Bおよび導電部材10に伝わって放熱されるとともに、複数の第2導電性柱状部23にも伝わる。したがって、半導体装置A11は、半導体素子20で発生した熱の放熱性を向上することが可能となる。
In the semiconductor device A11, each of the multiple second conductive columnar parts 23 is disposed on the element body 21 and protrudes in the thickness direction z. The tip 231 of each of the multiple second conductive columnar parts 23 is in contact with the sealing resin 40 and is covered by the sealing resin 40. As a result, each of the multiple second conductive columnar parts 23 is not electrically connected to the conductive member 10. Unlike the multiple first conductive columnar parts 22A, 22B that function as electrodes, the multiple second conductive columnar parts 23 do not form a path for current flowing through the semiconductor element 20 inside the semiconductor device A11. With this configuration, heat generated in the semiconductor element 20 is dissipated by being transmitted to the multiple first conductive columnar parts 22A, 22B and the conductive member 10, and is also transmitted to the multiple second conductive columnar parts 23. Therefore, the semiconductor device A11 can improve the heat dissipation performance of heat generated in the semiconductor element 20.
複数の第2導電性柱状部23の各々は、導電パッド24に接する金属層26(第1部261)を介して導電パッド24に導通している。このような構成によれば、半導体素子20で発生した熱を、導電パッド24および金属層26を介して第2導電性柱状部23に効率よく逃がすことができる。このことは、半導体装置A11の放熱性を向上するうえで好ましい。その他にも、半導体装置A11は、上記実施形態の半導体装置A10と同様の構成の範囲において、半導体装置A10と同様の作用効果を奏する。

FIG. 20 is a plan view of the semiconductor device A20, seen through the semiconductor element 20 and the sealing resin 40. FIG. 21 is a cross-sectional view taken along line XXI-XXI in FIG. 20.

In FIG. 20, the see-through semiconductor element 20 and sealing resin 40 are each shown by an imaginary line (two-dot chain line).
本実施形態の半導体装置A20において、半導体素子20は、上記実施形態の複数の第2導電性柱状部23に代えて、複数の第2導電性柱状部27を有する。複数の第2導電性柱状部27の各々は、素子本体21から厚さ方向zのz1側に突出している。複数の第2導電性柱状部27は、素子本体21を構成する半導体基板211の頂面211A(厚さ方向zのz1側を向く面)に配置されている。図20~図22に示すように、複数の第2導電性柱状部27の各々は、厚さ方向zに見て、導電部材10の主面101と重なっていてもよい。複数の第2導電性柱状部27の配置は特に限定されず、図示した例では、複数の第2導電性柱状部27は第1方向xおよび第2方向yの双方に間隔を隔てて配列されている。複数の第2導電性柱状部27の各々の先端部(厚さ方向zのz1側の端部)は、封止樹脂40に接しており、当該封止樹脂40に覆われている。
In the semiconductor device A20 of this embodiment, the semiconductor element 20 has a plurality of second conductive columnar portions 27 instead of the plurality of second conductive columnar portions 23 of the above embodiment. Each of the plurality of second conductive columnar portions 27 protrudes from the element body 21 toward the z1 side in the thickness direction z. The plurality of second conductive columnar portions 27 are arranged on the top surface 211A (the surface facing the z1 side in the thickness direction z) of the semiconductor substrate 211 constituting the element body 21. As shown in Figures 20 to 22, each of the plurality of second conductive columnar portions 27 may overlap the main surface 101 of the conductive member 10 when viewed in the thickness direction z. The arrangement of the plurality of second conductive columnar portions 27 is not particularly limited, and in the illustrated example, the plurality of second conductive columnar portions 27 are arranged at intervals in both the first direction x and the second direction y. The tip of each of the multiple second conductive columnar sections 27 (the end on the z1 side in the thickness direction z) is in contact with the sealing resin 40 and is covered by the sealing resin 40.
第2導電性柱状部27は、たとえば横断面が楕円形の柱状である。図19、図20に示すように、第2導電性柱状部27の厚さ方向z視における面積は、複数の第1導電性柱状部22Aおよび複数の第1導電性柱状部22Bの各々の厚さ方向z視における面積よりも大である。第2導電性柱状部27の構成材料は、たとえば銅を含む。複数の第2導電性柱状部27は、たとえば金属めっきからなる。複数の第2導電性柱状部27は、たとえば電解めっきにより形成される。詳細な図示説明は省略するが、半導体基板211の頂面211A(厚さ方向zのz1側を向く面)の所定領域には導電性の下地層が形成されており、当該下地層上に第2導電性柱状部27が形成される。図示した例では、第2導電性柱状部27の厚さ方向zの寸法は、第1導電性柱状部22A,22Bの厚さ方向zの寸法よりも大である。
The second conductive columnar portion 27 is, for example, a columnar portion having an elliptical cross section. As shown in FIG. 19 and FIG. 20, the area of the second conductive columnar portion 27 as viewed in the thickness direction z is larger than the area of each of the first conductive columnar portions 22A and the first conductive columnar portions 22B as viewed in the thickness direction z. The material of the second conductive columnar portion 27 includes, for example, copper. The second conductive columnar portions 27 are made of, for example, metal plating. The second conductive columnar portions 27 are formed by, for example, electrolytic plating. Although detailed illustrations are omitted, a conductive base layer is formed in a predetermined region of the top surface 211A (the surface facing the z1 side in the thickness direction z) of the semiconductor substrate 211, and the second conductive columnar portion 27 is formed on the base layer. In the illustrated example, the dimension of the second conductive columnar portion 27 in the thickness direction z is larger than the dimension of the first conductive columnar portions 22A and 22B in the thickness direction z.
半導体装置A20は、主面101を有する導電部材10と、導電部材10に対して厚さ方向zのz2側に配置され、主面101に支持された半導体素子20と、導電部材10の一部、および半導体素子20を覆う封止樹脂40と、を備える。半導体素子20は、素子本体21、複数の第1導電性柱状部22A、複数の第1導電性柱状部22B、および複数の第2導電性柱状部27を有する。複数の第1導電性柱状部22Aおよび複数の第1導電性柱状部22Bは、素子本体21から厚さ方向zのz2側に突出し、厚さ方向zにおいて素子本体21と導電部材10の主面101との間に介在している。複数の第1導電性柱状部22Aおよび複数の第1導電性柱状部22Bの各々は、素子本体21および主面101の双方に電気的に接続されている。複数の第2導電性柱状部27の各々は、素子本体21の上に配置されており、厚さ方向zに突出している。複数の第2導電性柱状部27の各々の先端部は、封止樹脂40に接しており、当該封止樹脂40に覆われている。これにより、複数の第2導電性柱状部27の各々は、導電部材10に導通していない。複数の第2導電性柱状部27は、電極として機能する複数の第1導電性柱状部22A,22Bとは異なり、半導体装置A20の内部において半導体素子20に流れる電流の経路を構成しない。このような構成によれば、半導体素子20で発生した熱は、複数の第1導電性柱状部22A,22Bおよび導電部材10に伝わって放熱されるとともに、複数の第2導電性柱状部27にも伝わる。したがって、半導体装置A20は、半導体素子20で発生した熱の放熱性を向上することが可能となる。
The semiconductor device A20 includes a conductive member 10 having a main surface 101, a semiconductor element 20 disposed on the z2 side of the conductive member 10 in the thickness direction z and supported by the main surface 101, and a sealing resin 40 covering a part of the conductive member 10 and the semiconductor element 20. The semiconductor element 20 has an element body 21, a plurality of first conductive columnar portions 22A, a plurality of first conductive columnar portions 22B, and a plurality of second conductive columnar portions 27. The plurality of first conductive columnar portions 22A and the plurality of first conductive columnar portions 22B protrude from the element body 21 to the z2 side in the thickness direction z, and are interposed between the element body 21 and the main surface 101 of the conductive member 10 in the thickness direction z. Each of the plurality of first conductive columnar portions 22A and the plurality of first conductive columnar portions 22B is electrically connected to both the element body 21 and the main surface 101. Each of the second conductive columnar parts 27 is disposed on the element body 21 and protrudes in the thickness direction z. The tip of each of the second conductive columnar parts 27 is in contact with the sealing resin 40 and is covered by the sealing resin 40. As a result, each of the second conductive columnar parts 27 is not electrically connected to the conductive member 10. Unlike the first conductive columnar parts 22A and 22B that function as electrodes, the second conductive columnar parts 27 do not form a path for a current flowing through the semiconductor element 20 inside the semiconductor device A20. With this configuration, the heat generated in the semiconductor element 20 is dissipated by being transmitted to the first conductive columnar parts 22A and 22B and the conductive member 10, and is also transmitted to the second conductive columnar parts 27. Therefore, the semiconductor device A20 can improve the heat dissipation of the heat generated in the semiconductor element 20.
複数の第2導電性柱状部27は、素子本体21に対して、導電部材10とは反対側である厚さ方向zのz1側に突出している。これにより、複数の第2導電性柱状部27は、厚さ方向zに見て導電部材10の主面101と重なるように配置することができ、配置の自由を高めることができる。具体的には、図示した例のように、複数の第2導電性柱状部27は、厚さ方向zに見て導電部材10の主面101と重なるように配置することができる。第2導電性柱状部27の厚さ方向zの寸法を、第1導電性柱状部22A,22Bの厚さ方向zの寸法よりも大きくすることが可能である。このことは、半導体装置A20の放熱性を向上するうえでより好ましい。
The second conductive columnar portions 27 protrude from the element body 21 toward the z1 side in the thickness direction z, which is the opposite side to the conductive member 10. This allows the second conductive columnar portions 27 to be arranged so as to overlap the main surface 101 of the conductive member 10 when viewed in the thickness direction z, thereby increasing the freedom of arrangement. Specifically, as in the illustrated example, the second conductive columnar portions 27 can be arranged so as to overlap the main surface 101 of the conductive member 10 when viewed in the thickness direction z. The dimension of the second conductive columnar portion 27 in the thickness direction z can be made larger than the dimension of the first conductive columnar portions 22A and 22B in the thickness direction z. This is preferable in terms of improving the heat dissipation of the semiconductor device A20.

FIG. 25 is a plan view of the semiconductor device A21, seen through the semiconductor element 20 and the sealing resin 40. FIG. 26 is a cross-sectional view taken along line XXVI-XXVI in FIG. 25. FIG. 27 is a cross-sectional view taken along line XXVII-XXVII in FIG. 25. FIG. 28 is a cross-sectional view taken along line XXVIII-XXVIII in FIG. 25. In FIG. 24, the see-through sealing resin 40 is shown by an imaginary line (two-dot chain line). In FIG. 28, the see-through semiconductor element 20 and sealing resin 40 are each shown by an imaginary line (two-dot chain line).
本変形例の半導体装置A21において、半導体素子20は、複数の第2導電性柱状部27に加え、複数の第2導電性柱状部23を有する。複数の第2導電性柱状部27は、上記実施形態の半導体装置A20と同様の構成である。複数の第2導電性柱状部23は、上記第1実施形態の半導体装置A10と同様の構成である。
In the semiconductor device A21 of this modified example, the semiconductor element 20 has a plurality of second conductive columnar portions 23 in addition to a plurality of second conductive columnar portions 27. The plurality of second conductive columnar portions 27 have the same configuration as the semiconductor device A20 of the above embodiment. The plurality of second conductive columnar portions 23 have the same configuration as the semiconductor device A10 of the above first embodiment.
半導体装置A21において、複数の第2導電性柱状部23および複数の第2導電性柱状部27の各々は、素子本体21の上に配置されており、厚さ方向zに突出している。複数の第2導電性柱状部23および第2導電性柱状部27の各々の先端部は、封止樹脂40に接しており、当該封止樹脂40に覆われている。これにより、複数の第2導電性柱状部23および複数の第2導電性柱状部27の各々は、導電部材10に導通していない。複数の第2導電性柱状部23および複数の第2導電性柱状部27は、電極として機能する複数の第1導電性柱状部22A,22Bとは異なり、半導体装置A21の内部において半導体素子20に流れる電流の経路を構成しない。このような構成によれば、半導体素子20で発生した熱は、複数の第1導電性柱状部22A,22Bおよび導電部材10に伝わって放熱されるとともに、複数の第2導電性柱状部23および複数の第2導電性柱状部27にも伝わる。したがって、半導体装置A21は、半導体素子20で発生した熱の放熱性を向上することが可能となる。
In the semiconductor device A21, each of the multiple second conductive columnar portions 23 and the multiple second conductive columnar portions 27 is disposed on the element body 21 and protrudes in the thickness direction z. The tip of each of the multiple second conductive columnar portions 23 and the multiple second conductive columnar portions 27 is in contact with the sealing resin 40 and is covered by the sealing resin 40. As a result, each of the multiple second conductive columnar portions 23 and the multiple second conductive columnar portions 27 is not conductive to the conductive member 10. Unlike the multiple first conductive columnar portions 22A, 22B that function as electrodes, the multiple second conductive columnar portions 23 and the multiple second conductive columnar portions 27 do not form a path for current flowing through the semiconductor element 20 inside the semiconductor device A21. With this configuration, heat generated in the semiconductor element 20 is dissipated by being transferred to the first conductive columnar portions 22A, 22B and the conductive member 10, and is also transferred to the second conductive columnar portions 23 and the second conductive columnar portions 27. Therefore, the semiconductor device A21 can improve the dissipation of heat generated in the semiconductor element 20.
半導体装置A21において、半導体素子20が複数の第2導電性柱状部23および複数の第2導電性柱状部27を有することにより、半導体素子20で発生した熱を厚さ方向zの両側に逃がすことができる。このことは、半導体装置A21の放熱性を向上するうえで好ましい。その他にも、半導体装置A21は、上記実施形態の半導体装置A10,A20と同様の構成の範囲において、半導体装置A10,A20と同様の作用効果を奏する。
In the semiconductor device A21, the semiconductor element 20 has a plurality of second conductive columnar portions 23 and a plurality of second conductive columnar portions 27, so that heat generated in the semiconductor element 20 can be dissipated to both sides in the thickness direction z. This is preferable in terms of improving the heat dissipation properties of the semiconductor device A21. In addition, the semiconductor device A21 achieves the same effects as the semiconductor devices A10 and A20 within the same range of configuration as the semiconductor devices A10 and A20 of the above embodiment.
