A frame-shaped sidewall is provided on a metallic base plate surrounding a
semiconductor element arranged on the metallic base plate, which is
provided with a stepped surface positioned at lower level at a portion of
the base plate than a main surface of the base plate. A first dielectric
plate is arranged on one side of the semiconductor element and a first
circuit pattern is formed on its surface, a second dielectric plate is
arranged on another side of the semiconductor element and a second
circuit pattern is formed on the first and the second dielectric plate.
An insulator is mounted on the stepped surface of the base plate, which
forms a part of the sidewall. Power supply portions are provided
including a band-shaped conductor. An interconnection is provided which
connects the band-shaped conductor to the circuit pattern.
