Abstract

The disclosed invention aims at providing a semiconductor module structure which has a high ability of absorbing thermal deformation, is excellent in radiating ability and enables an easy maintenance operation. To this end, in the semiconductor module of the invention thermal conductor members are provided, each of which has an area of contact with a semiconductor device or an inner surface of a housing and has opposed heat transfer surfaces. A radiator is formed integrally on the housing. With this structure, large thermal deformation resulting from a high heat production density design can be absorbed, and at the same time heat from semiconductor devices can be efficiently radiated.
