However, making a semiconductor heat sink and a metal heat sink into a module has the following defects: Due to size limitations, the heat dissipation capacity of the metal heat sink itself is limited. If the semiconductor heat sink is attached to the external metal heat sink shell for heat dissipation, the heat dissipation efficiency will be reduced; the process is complicated and requires multiple additional assembly steps, such as packaging and screw fixing; the cost is high, and the additional assembly materials and complex processes lead to increased costs; the structural weight is increased, and the additional assembly structure leads to an increase in the weight of the entire circuit board and semiconductor heat sink. There are the following defects when the semiconductor heat sink is directly welded to the circuit board: low heat dissipation efficiency, the heat dissipation efficiency of the vias on the back of the circuit board is extremely low, which cannot be compared with the heat dissipation on the front of the heat-generating chip; because an additional heat-conducting medium is required between the semiconductor heat sink and the back of the circuit board, the fixing method becomes complicated, which is easy to cause vibration cracking or poor contact.
