1. A method of manufacturing an inverter device that includes a plurality of heat buffer plates, comprising:
bonding a plurality of semiconductor chips and said heat buffer plates by a low melting point or high melting point solder;
bonding said heat buffer plates and a conductor by a low melting point or high melting point solder;
dividing a wide conductor into a plurality of chips fixing said conductor to a cooler;
fixing said heat buffer plates with said plurality of chips;
fixing said conductor and said cooler by application of pressure at locations where the plurality of semiconductor chips are not bonded to said conductor;
forming said conductor as an upper arm conductor and a lower arm conductor; and
bonding a first subset of said heat buffer plates onto said upper arm conductor and bonding a second subset of said heat buffer plates onto said lower arm conductor.
