Abstract

An integrated circuit is disclosed in which a plurality of semiconductor substrates are stacked in such a manner that an insulating board, provided with (1) structure, such as grooves, for transmitting a coolant so as to dissipate heat, and (2) an electrical interconnection member for electrically connecting adjacent semiconductor substrates, is sandwiched between semiconductor substrates. In order to attain the high-speed signal transmission between a semiconductor substrate and an insulating board, a signal current flows not only in a main surface of the semiconductor substrate but also in directions perpendicular to the main surface. The insulating board may be formed of an insulating silicon carbide plate which has a plurality of grooves filled with a metal.
