Abstract
Description
[0001] This Nonprovisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) on Patent Application No. 2009-148449 filed in Japan on Jun. 23, 2009, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present invention relates to a heat sink that cools a thermal component, and to a method of manufacturing such a heat sink.
[0003] Sometimes a radiator type heat sink is used for cooling a thermal component such as a semiconductor or the like. As this type of heat sink, for example, in the base of the heat sink, its upper portion may be formed by opening up channels (grooves) therein. These channels may have tapers, so that the gaps at the end portions at which they are opened are smaller than the gaps at the bottom portions of the channels. A structure for cooling a thermal component is disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication 11-510962 in which pipes are pressed into these channels and are deformed into almost the same f...
