The present invention is a semiconductor module (20) in which, for
example, twenty-five semiconductor devices (10) with a pnotoelectric
conversion function are arranged in the form of a five row by five column
matrix via an electrically conductive mechanism including of six
connecting leads (21 to 26). The semiconductor devices (10) in each
column are connected in series, and the semiconductor devices (10) in
each row are connected in parallel. Positive and negative terminals,
which are embedded in a light transmitting member (28) made of a
transparent synthetic resin and which protrude to the outside, are also
provided. The semiconductor device (10) comprises a diffusion layer, a pn
junction, and one flat surface on the surface of a spherical p-type
semiconductor crystal, for example. A positive electrode 6a formed on the
flat surface and connected to the p-type semiconductor crystal, and a
negative electrode 6b that lies opposite the positive electrode 6a with
the center of the p-type semiconductor crystal interposed therebetween,
are provided.
