Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a semiconductor power module in which an electric field at corners of electrodes and around the corners is reduced while size reduction and voltage increase are achieved. The semiconductor power module includes a plurality of electrodes having different potentials and laid over each other with an interval therebetween. As seen in a direction in which the plurality of electrodes are laid over each other, each of the plurality of electrodes has three or more corners, at least a part of the corner of one of adjacent two of the electrodes is provided on an outer side relative to another of the adjacent two electrodes, and at least a part of the corner of the other electrode is provided on an outer side relative to the one electrode.
