A semiconductor device includes: first and second metallic plates, each of
which includes a heat radiation surface and an inner surface; a
semiconductor element between the metallic plates; a block between the
second metallic plate and the semiconductor element; a solder member
between the second metallic plate and the block; and a resin mold. The
heat radiation surface is exposed from the resin mold. The second
metallic plate includes a groove for preventing the solder member from
expanding outside of the block. The groove is disposed on the inner
surface and disposed on an outer periphery of the block. The second
metallic plate further includes an inner surface member on an inner
surface of the groove. The inner surface member has a solder wettability,
which is larger than a solder wettability of the block.
