Abstract

A semiconductor device which provides a small and simple design with efficient cooling. A first electrically conducting cooling element is in contact with first electrodes of semiconductor elements for forwarding a heat load from the semiconductor elements and for electrically connecting the first electrodes of the semiconductor elements to an external apparatus. A second electrically conducting cooling element is in contact with second electrodes of the semiconductor elements for forwarding a heat load from the semiconductor elements and for electrically connecting the second electrodes of the semiconductor elements to an external apparatus. The semiconductor device includes an interface which is electrically connected to gates of the semiconductor elements for external control of respective states of the semiconductor elements.
