Abstract

Abstract In a semiconductor device made up of semiconductor elements, a plurality of terminal boards are laid one on another with insulating boards therebetween such that the terminal boards are in parallel with the semiconductor elements and are shifted from one another. The terminal boards are fixedly secured to a substrate through an insulating board, the terminal boards having upwardly extended terminals arranged in parallel and spaced slightly apart fron one another, and lead wires interconnect the electrodes of the semiconductor elements and the exposed surfaces of the terminal boards such that the lead wires extend in a direction perpendicular to the direction of arrangement of the semiconductor elements, whereby substantially equal inductances between the electrodes of the semiconductor elements and the terminals are compensated and are made small.
