Original Abstract Submitted

A semiconductor device includes a conductive substrate including an obverse surface facing a first side in thickness direction and a reverse surface opposite from the obverse surface, a first switching semiconductor element bonded to the obverse surface, a first conductive member for passing main circuit current switched by the semiconductor element, and a sealing resin covering the semiconductor element, the conductive member and a part of the substrate. The substrate includes first and second conductive portions mutually spaced in first direction orthogonal to thickness direction. The semiconductor element is electrically bonded to the first conductive portion. The conductive member includes a first part overlapping with the first and the second conductive portions as viewed in thickness direction and being spaced from the obverse surface toward the first side in thickness direction. The first part includes a first opening.
