| 1. A power semiconductor module comprising:
a power semiconductor device having a main electrode and a control electrode formed on a circuit face and a rear electrode
formed on a face opposite to the circuit face;
a ceramic substrate with printed circuit having metal electrodes formed on both faces of the ceramic substrate, the metal
electrode being joined to the rear electrode of the power semiconductor device;
a lead having metal electrodes formed on both faces of a ceramic substrate, the metal electrode being joined to the main electrode
and the control electrode of the power semiconductor device; and
a mold resin having a coefficient of thermal expansion of 10 ppm/K or less for sealing the ceramic substrate with printed
circuit, the power semiconductor device and the lead so as to expose metal electrodes on a side of the ceramic substrate with
printed circuit that is not joined to the power semiconductor device and metal electrodes on a side of the lead that is not
joined to the power semiconductor device to outside.
