Abstract

In order to efficiently cool a heat-generating semiconductor element, it is desirable to cool a power semiconductor element from both surfaces. Therefore, in order to cool multiple power semiconductor elements, it is an effective way to alternately arrange a semiconductor component having the incorporated semiconductor element and a cooling device. A power conversion device for handling a high-power voltage needs to ensure pressure resistance between semiconductor elements or circuits inside the device. It is an effective way to seal the semiconductor component with a sealing material such as a silicone gel. Therefore, it is necessary to install the semiconductor component or the circuit having the incorporated semiconductor element, in a case from which a liquid silicone gel prior to curing does not leak even if the gel is injected. For these reasons, an object to be achieved by the invention is that the semiconductor element can be cooled from both surfaces by alternately arranging the semiconductor component having the incorporated semiconductor element and the cooling device. The above-described object can be achieved as follows. A substantially rectangular thin plate is subjec…
