A semiconductor module according to the invention includes: an island
formed of a conductive material; a plurality of leads disposed in
vicinity of the island; a resin sealing body which is mounted on the
island and disposed such that a back surface of a circuit board on which
semiconductor elements is exposed upward; a sensor which is mounted on
the back surface of the circuit board; and a thin metallic wire which
electrically connects the circuit board with the leads. The island, the
resin sealing body, the sensor, and parts of the leads are sealed by a
second sealing resin.
