Original Abstract Submitted

A semiconductor module comprises a first member including a semiconductor substrate made of a compound semiconductor and a first electronic circuit on the semiconductor substrate is mounted on a mounting surface of a module substrate, and a second member including a semiconductor layer formed of a single semiconductor thinner than the semiconductor substrate of the first member and a second electronic circuit on the semiconductor layer is bonded to an upper surface of the first member. First and second pads are respectively connected to the first electronic circuit on the first member and the second electronic circuit on the second member. A first wire connects the first pad and a substrate side pad. A second wire connects the second pad and a substrate side pad. An inter-member connection wire made of a conductor film on the first and second members connects the first and second electronic circuits.
