Original Abstract Submitted

In a semiconductor device including a flexible insulating member on a heat dissipation surface, resin burrs entering underneath the flexible insulating member are prevented from generating in a sealing member. A power module includes a conductive die bonding portion, a semiconductor element bonded to an upper surface of the die bonding portion, a sealing member sealing the die bonding portion and the semiconductor element, and a flexible insulating member bonded to a lower surface of the die bonding portion. The flexible insulating member is arranged in a recessed portion on a lower surface of the sealing member and has a convex portion protruding from the lower surface of the sealing member.
