SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND INVERTER UNIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18551569 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND INVERTER UNIT

Simplified Explanation

The semiconductor chip is mounted on the heat spreader, with a frame bonded to the chip's upper surface. Mold resin seals the heat spreader, chip, and frame, with a recess on the mold resin's upper surface. A heat dissipation plate is attached to the recess via a thermally conductive material, insulated from the chip and frame by the mold resin. The heat dissipation plate is a flat plate with opposite upper and lower surfaces.
