Abstract

A power semiconductor device package utilizes integral fluid conducting micro-channels, one or more inlet ports for supplying liquid coolant to the micro-channels, and one or more outlet ports for exhausting coolant that has passed through the micro-channels. The semiconductor device is mounted on a single or multi-layer circuit board having electrical and fluid interconnect features that mate with the electrical terminals and inlet and outlet ports of the device to define a self-contained and self-sealed micro-channel heat exchanger.
