A semiconductor power module includes a lead frame having a first portion
at a first level, a second portion surrounding the first portion at a
second level, and a plurality of terminals connected to the second
portion. The semiconductor power module further includes a power circuit
mounted on a first surface of the first portion and an insulator having
an electrically insulating property and thermal conductivity. The
insulator is adjacent to a second surface of the first portion of the
lead frame. The semiconductor power module further includes a sealer
having an electrically insulating property that covers the power circuit
and the control circuit.
