POWER MODULE

摘要

A power module according to the present invention includes: a semiconductor element for converting DC current to AC current by switching operation; an electrical wiring board to which the semiconductor element is electrically connected, with the semiconductor element being disposed upon one of its principal surfaces; an insulating resin layer provided on the other principal surface of the electrical wiring board; a first insulation layer that is disposed opposite from the electrical wiring board, separated by the insulating resin layer, and that is joined to the insulating resin layer; a second insulation layer that is disposed opposite from the insulating resin layer, separated by the first insulation layer, and that ensures electrical insulation of the semiconductor element; and a metallic heat dissipation member that is disposed opposite from the first insulation layer, separated by the second insulation layer, and that radiates heat generated by the semiconductor element via the electrical wiring board, the insulating resin layer, the first insulation layer, and the second insulation layer.
