Description
TECHNICAL AREA The embodiments described here relate to a semiconductor device, a power module, and a power supply. STATE OF THE ART Traditionally, one type of power module known is one in which a perimeter or outline of a semiconductor component or components, including a power element or power elements (chip(s)), such as an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), is encapsulated with resin. In an operating state, it is generally intended or common practice to arrange heat radiators, e.g., a heat sink and a fin, in a semiconductor component that generates heat, and to radiate the heat towards the back surface of the substrate in such a way as to cool the semiconductor component. In recent years, the increasing heat generation density of electronic materials has become a problem. Consequently, to improve the performance of cooling devices, it is desirable to suppress or limit the junction temperature (Tj) of components to values within predefined limits. For example, in power modules used for power conversion units in electric vehicles, water-based cooling devices have been the predominant choice. However, water-based cooling devices require coolant storage tanks, pumps for supplying water, and similar components, making the entire cooling system complex and large, thus increasing its weight.

DESCRIPTION OF EXECUTION FORMS The embodiments are described below with reference to the drawing. In the description of the drawing below, identical or similar reference numerals are assigned to identical or similar parts. However, it should be noted that the drawings are schematic in nature, and therefore the relationship between thickness and plane size, and the ratio of the thickness(es), may differ from an actual object. Therefore, a detailed thickness and size should be determined taking into account the explanation below. Naturally, this also includes parts where the relationship and ratio of a mutual size differs even in other drawings. Furthermore, the embodiments shown below represent, by way of example, the device and the method for materializing or implementing the technical idea; and the embodiments do not specify the material, shape, structure, arrangement, etc., of each component part, as shown below. The embodiments may be modified without departing from the basic concept or scope of the claims. [First embodiment] (Basic technology) Fig. 1 shows a conceptual diagram to illustrate a state of heat transfer generated by a PM 80. The PM 80 is mounted on a cooling device 90. The cooling device 90 is located in a refrigerant 28. The refrigerant 28 is water in the case of water cooling, or air in the case of air cooling. The PM 80 includes a semiconductor component Q20, which corresponds to a heat source (hereinafter referred to as TM or TS, "thermal source") that generates heat during operation. The semiconductor component Q20 is, for example, arranged on an insulating ceramic substrate. The insulating ceramic substrate can, for example, be formed with a direct bonding copper substrate (DBC substrate, "Direct Bonding Copper"). In the example shown in Fig. 1, the insulating ceramic substrate includes a ceramic substrate 21, a front-side electrode layer 23 of the ceramic substrate 21, and a back-side electrode layer 22 of the ceramic substrate 21. The semiconductor component Q20 is bonded to the front-side electrode layer 23, for example, by means of a fired silver layer 27. Furthermore, the back-side electrode layer 22 is connected to the cooling device 90 via a thermal conductivity layer 25.The semiconductor component Q20 can, for example, include an IGBT, a diode, a Si-based MOSFET, a SiC-based MOSFET, or a GaN-based FET. The thermal conductivity layer 25 can include any layer of a thermal conductivity layer, a solder layer, or a burnished Ag layer, to name a few examples. The PM 80 is resin-encapsulated with a casting resin layer 300, such as silicone resin or a polyimide resin. Heat from the semiconductor component Q20, which corresponds to the heat source TS that generates heat in the operating state, is transferred to the cooling device 90 via the fired Ag layer 27, the insulating ceramic substrate (23 / 21 / 22), and the heat-conducting layer 25, as indicated by thick arrows. Furthermore, heat is transferred from the cooling device 90 to the coolant 28, such as water or air, as shown by thin arrows. Below, the thermal resistance or thermal resistance value Rja of the semiconductor component Q20 to the coolant 28 is expressed by the total sum of a thermal resistance in a heat conduction unit TC and a thermal resistance in a heat transfer unit TT. The thermal resistance of the heat conduction unit TC is a thermal resistance in PM 80 and is expressed as t / λA. Here, t denotes the thickness of the heat conduction unit TC, λ denotes the heat transfer coefficient of the heat conduction unit TC, and A denotes the heat transfer area. The thermal resistance in the heat transfer unit TT is a thermal resistance in the cooling device 90 and is expressed as 1 / HA. In this context, H denotes a heat transfer coefficient in the cooling device 90. The thermal resistance Rja is expressed by equation (1): Although the thermal resistance in the water-cooled heat transfer unit TT is lower than the thermal resistance in the heat conduction unit TC, the thermal resistance in the air-cooled heat conduction unit TC is essentially the same as the thermal resistance in the heat transfer unit TT, and is about 50% of the total thermal resistance Rja. In this context, a comparison between heat transfer capabilities in the different cooling methods is carried out or expressed as shown in Fig. 2. In the case of air cooling, where the coolant is air, the heat transfer coefficient ranges from a few W / m²K to several hundred W / m²K. In the case of water cooling, where the coolant is water, the heat transfer coefficient ranges from a few tens of W / m²K to several thousand W / m²K. The heat transfer efficiency of air cooling is lower than that of water cooling, and the cooling performance of air cooling is relatively low. Furthermore, since a water cooling system requires water circulation, the entire system becomes more complex. On the other hand, the mechanism for circulating the coolant in air cooling can be greatly simplified, making the system less complex compared to water cooling.Accordingly, in order to simplify the cooling system, it is desirable to implement an air-cooled cooling device with a thermal resistance value generated in the heat transfer unit of the same degree or level as that of the water-cooled cooling device. The semiconductor device 2 according to the embodiments shown in Fig. 3 comprises: a heat source 8 (TS); a thermal diffusion unit 10 connected to the heat source 8 (TS); a base unit 14 connected to the thermal diffusion unit 10; and air-cooling fin units 161, 162, 163, ..., 16n connected via the base unit 14, and thermal contact units CP1, CP2, CP3, ..., CPn. A plurality of thermal contact units CP are present, and the base unit 14 is connected to the respective thermal contact units CP1, CP2, CP3, ..., CPn via the air-cooling fin units 161, 162, 163, ..., 16n. Alternatively, the semiconductor device 2 according to the embodiments shown in Fig. 4 can include: a heat source 8 (TS); a heat diffusion unit 10 connected to the heat source 8 (TS); and a heat contact space unit SPACE between the heat diffusion unit 10 and the air cooling fin unit (not shown). The heat diffusion unit 10 incorporates a thermally highly conductive material and can diffuse heat. The heat diffusion unit 10 can, for example, be made of copper (Cu) as the thermally highly conductive material, and a vapor chamber can be used for the heat diffusion unit 10. The heat diffusion unit 10 and the air cooling fin unit (not shown) are connected to each other via the thermal contact unit CP. The semiconductor device 2 according to the embodiments includes a heat diffusion unit 10 configured to diffuse heat using a thermally highly conductive material, and a heat contact space SPACE between the heat diffusion unit 10 and the (not shown) air cooling fin unit, wherein, due to the fact that the air cooling fin units are thermally contacted with the heat diffusion unit 10 at a plurality of points, a reduction of the thermal resistance of the cooling device can be achieved. Fig. 5 shows a schematic configuration of a thermal resistance circuit to illustrate a configuration in which a plurality of the air cooling fin units 161, 162, 163, ..., 16ns are in thermal contact or heat contact with the heat diffusion unit 10, namely on a plurality of heat contact units CP1, CP2, CP3, ..., CPn, in order to realize the reduction of the thermal resistance in the semiconductor device 2 according to the embodiments. The semiconductor device 2 according to the embodiments comprises: the heat diffusion unit 10, which is configured to diffuse heat using the thermally highly conductive material; the base unit 14, which is connected to the heat diffusion unit 10; and the heat contact units CP1, CP2, CP3, ..., CPn in thermal contact with the base unit 14 and the plurality of air cooling fin units 161, 162, 163, ..., 16n at the plurality of points, wherein the plurality of air cooling fin units 161, 162, 163, ..., 16n are thermally contacted with the heat diffusion unit 10 via the base unit 14 at the plurality of points, and thereby the reduction of the thermal resistance of the cooling device can be achieved. [Configuration of the first embodiment] Fig. 6 shows a schematic cross-sectional structure of a semiconductor device 2 according to a first embodiment.

Furthermore, the semiconductor device includes two base units 14PA, 14PB, which are connected to the heat diffusion unit 10 via heat conduction layers 12SA, 12SB. The heat conduction layers 12SA, 12SB can be thermal conductivity layers or solder layers, to name a few examples. In addition, a plurality of air-cooling fin units (16FA1, 16FA2, 16FA3, ..., 16FAm), (16FB1, 16FB2, 16FB3, ..., 16FBm) are connected to the base units 14PA, 14PB via a plurality of thermal contact units. Furthermore, the semiconductor device 2 includes a thermal contact space unit OA between the thermal diffusion unit 10 and the plurality of air-cooling fin units (16FA1, 16FA2, 16FA3, ..., 16FAm), (16FB1, 16FB2, 16FB3, ..., 16FBm), wherein the thermal contact space unit OA is surrounded by the thermal diffusion unit 10 and a plurality of air-cooling fin units (16FA1, 16FA2, 16FA3, ..., 16FAm), (16FB1, 16FB2, 16FB3, ..., 16FBm). In this case, the thermal contact space unit OA can be an air layer formed by natural air cooling or forced air cooling. The semiconductor device 2 can further include an opening AP to an external space. Alternatively, as long as a structure is present that ensures airflow, the opening AP can also be omitted. The heat diffusion unit 10 can be configured to efficiently diffuse heat using a thermally highly conductive material or materials. For example, the heat diffusion unit 10 can include copper (Cu) or a vapor chamber. Furthermore, the base units 14PA, 14PB and the air cooling fin units (16FA1, 16FA2, 16FA3, ..., 16FAm), (16FB1, 16FB2, 16FB3, ..., 16FBm) can be made of the same material, or can be made of materials that differ from each other. Furthermore, the thermal diffusion unit 10 or the base units 14PA, 14PB can incorporate a graphite substrate that has anisotropic thermal conductivity. More precisely, the thermal diffusion unit 10 or the base units 14PA, 14PB can efficiently utilize the anisotropic thermal conductivity of the graphite substrate by orienting the graphite substrate in a direction where its heat transfer coefficient is relatively high.

On the other hand, the base unit 14PA and the base unit 14PB are made of materials that differ from each other, and the air cooling fin units (16FA1S, 16FA2S, 16FA3S, ..., 16FAmS) and the air cooling fin units (17FB1L, 17FB2L, 17FB3L, ..., 17FBmL) are made of materials that differ from each other. For example, the base unit 14PA can be made of a material with relatively low thermal conductivity, and the base unit 14PB can be made of a material with relatively high thermal conductivity. Similarly, the air cooling fin units (16FA1S, 16FA2S, 16FA3S, ..., 16FAmS) can be made of the material with relatively low thermal conductivity, and the air cooling fin units (17FB1L, 17FB2L, 17FB3L, ..., 17FBmL) can be made of the material with relatively high thermal conductivity. In the semiconductor device 2 according to the fourth embodiment, a configuration is provided such that the length of the air cooling fin units (16FA1S, 16FA2S, 16FA3S, ..., 16FAmS) is relatively shorter than the length of the air cooling fin units (16FB1L, 16FB2L, 16FB3L, ..., 16FBmL). Further configurations are the same as those of the semiconductor device 2 according to the third embodiment. As explained above, as shown in Fig. 5, the semiconductor device 2 according to the embodiments includes the heat diffusion unit 10, which is configured to diffuse heat using a thermally highly conductive material, wherein the base unit 14 is connected to the heat diffusion unit 10, and wherein the heat contact units CP1, CP2, CP3, ..., CPn are in thermal contact with the base unit 14 and the plurality of air cooling fin units 161, 162, 163, ..., 16n at the plurality of points, wherein the plurality of air cooling fin units 161, 162, 163, ..., 16n are thermally contacted with the heat diffusion unit 10 via the base unit 14 at the plurality of points, thereby enabling the reduction of the thermal resistance of the cooling device within a limited space (heat contact space unit OA). Various combinations are possible for the air cooling fin (the base unit 14 + the air cooling fin units 161, 162, 163, ..., 16n) that occupies or is arranged within the space (heat contact space unit OA). For example, the air cooling fins can be made of a uniform material or of different materials. Furthermore, the air cooling fins can be made of a material with relatively high thermal conductivity, of materials with relatively low thermal conductivity, or of a combination thereof. (Thermal fluid simulation) Figure 10 is an explanatory diagram of a calculation evaluation method for a thermal fluid simulation in the semiconductor device according to the embodiments. In a thermal fluid simulation model, the heat source 8 (TS) is arranged on the base unit 14 so that it heats the entire surface of the base unit. In Figure 10, T1 denotes a surface temperature of the base unit, T2 denotes a base temperature of the air cooling fin unit, and T3 denotes a tip temperature of the air cooling fin unit. W1 denotes a thickness of the cooling device, WP denotes a width of the air cooling fin unit, LF denotes a length of the air cooling fin unit, LB denotes a base length, and L1 denotes a base width. In this case, the thickness of the cooling device is W1 = 70 mm, the base length is LB = 5 mm, the base width is L1 = 70 mm, and the volume of the air cooling fin unit is FS = LF / 20.The cooling conditions are air cooling at an air velocity of 10 m / s at the front surface of the fins, and an outside air temperature Ta = 20°C. In the following calculation, the thermal resistance of the air-cooling fin unit 16 is investigated by setting the tonnage ratio (LF / FS) to 20 and by changing the length of the air-cooling fin LF. The fin evaluation objects are defined as the thermal resistance value Rth (fin) (K / W) of the fin and a temperature difference ratio or temperature difference ratio RATIO within the fin and applied by the following equations (2) and (3): In equation (2), W denotes a dissipation lead in the heat source 8 (TS) and corresponds to a dissipation lead of the semiconductor device, to give an example. RATIO is an index that indicates a temperature distribution within the air cooling fin unit 16 and corresponds to a temperature difference of the base unit / temperature difference of the air cooling fin unit 16. Fig. 11 shows an explanation of each composite material applied to the thermal fluid simulation in the semiconductor device according to the embodiments. Here, the materials comprising the air-cooling fins, which are built from the base unit 14 and the air-cooling fin unit 16, are assumed to be graphite, copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), an alloy, and iron (Fe). The heat transfer coefficient of graphite is 1500 W / mK in the x-direction, 5 W / mK in the y-direction, and 1500 W / mK in the z-direction. The heat transfer coefficients of copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), the alloy, and iron are 400 W / mK, 237 W / mK, 100 W / mK, and 50 W / mK, respectively. The length of the air cooling fin LF is 10 mm to 80 mm, the air cooling fin space FS is 0.5 mm to 4 mm, and the number of fins is 61 to 16. The thermal fluid simulation of the semiconductor device according to the embodiments is evaluated with respect to the thermal resistance Rth (fin) (K / W) of the air-cooling fin unit by changing the material of the air-cooling fin and the length of the air-cooling fin LF. In addition, a correlative relationship between the thermal resistance Rth (fin) and the temperature difference inside the fin is also evaluated by introducing the temperature difference ratio RATIO within the fin. (Equivalent thermal resistance circuit) In the thermal fluid simulation of the semiconductor device according to the embodiments, the air cooling fin unit is divided into an optional number of elements. In the following example, the division is into two, each with a width Δ. Fig. 12(a) shows an explanation of an equivalent thermal resistance of an air cooling fin unit, and Fig. 12(b) shows the equivalent thermal resistance circuit of one air cooling fin unit 1 in the semiconductor device according to the embodiments. In Fig. 12(b), r1, r2 and r3 denote thermal resistances, V1, V2 and V3 denote temperatures, and I1, I2 and I3 denote heat fluxes or heat flows. Similarly, Fig. 13(a) shows an explanation of an equivalent thermal resistance of three air-cooling fin units, and Fig. 13(b) shows the equivalent thermal resistance circuit of the three air-cooling fin units in the semiconductor device according to the embodiments. Fig. 13(b) denote r1, r2, r3, r1', r2', r3', r1", r2" and r3" as thermal resistances, V1, V2, V3, V1', V2', V3', V1", V2" and V3" as temperatures and I1, I2, I3, I1', I2', I3', I1", I2" and I3" as heat flows or currents. (Result of the thermal fluid simulation) Fig. 14 shows a simulation result of a relationship between a thermal resistance Rth (fin) (K / W) and a length LF (mm) of the air cooling fin using a material from which the fin is constructed as a parameter when the base unit 14 and the air cooling fin unit 16 are made of the same material in the semiconductor device according to the embodiments. Fig. 15 shows a simulation result of a relationship between RATIO and the length LF (mm) of the air cooling fin, using a material from which the fin is composed as a parameter, when the base unit 14 and the air cooling fin unit 16 are made of the same material, in the semiconductor device according to the embodiments. As shown in Fig. 14, the thermal resistance Rth (fin) (K / W) tends to decrease when the length LF of the air cooling fin is equal to or less than 20 (mm), regardless of the material used. If the length LF of the air cooling fin is 20 mm and the composite material of the air cooling fin unit is copper (Cu), the lowest thermal resistance Rth (fin) (K / W) is obtained when the length of the air cooling fin is 20 mm. Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 15, a tendency to reduce thermal resistance can be observed when the value of RATIO is as low as 5 or less than 5, regardless of the composition material of the air cooling fin unit. Based on the aforementioned thermal fluid simulation results, the temperature difference within the air cooling fin is reduced by shortening the fin length (LF) to less than or equal to 20 mm (ratio equal to or less than 5). Furthermore, as a result of the narrower fin interval, it becomes possible to increase the number of fins, thereby increasing the area for efficient heat transfer to the air and thus reducing thermal resistance. It is also shown that the influence of the heat transfer coefficient of the fin materials can be reduced. The above thermal fluid simulation results show that in the semiconductor device according to the embodiments, a structure for reducing thermal resistance is effective in which a plurality of small air cooling fin units are connected together. - Example of the use of composite materials - In the semiconductor component according to the present embodiment, the performance of the air cooling fin is investigated by combining different materials for the base unit 14 and the air cooling fin unit 16, based on the criterion or scale of a fin made of copper (Cu). Fig. 16(a) shows a schematic configuration when the base unit 14 and the air-cooling fin unit 16 are made of the same material in the semiconductor device according to the embodiments. Fig. 16(b) shows a schematic configuration when the base unit 14 and the air-cooling fin unit 16 are made of different materials in the semiconductor device according to the embodiments. Fig. 16(c) is a diagram showing a performance list for each material—graphite, copper, aluminum, an alloy, and iron—in the semiconductor device according to the embodiments. The performance items or parameters considered are the heat transfer coefficient (W / mK), the cost of the materials, and their weight. While the heat transfer coefficient of fins made of copper (Cu) is 400 (W / mK), the heat transfer coefficient of graphite in the orientation direction is as high as 1500 (W / mK), and the heat transfer coefficients of Al, an alloy and Fe are as low as 237, 100 and 50 respectively. Based on the material cost of the copper fins, the graphite is expensive, while the aluminum and iron are inexpensive. The overall material cost of the alloy depends on these materials. Based on the criterion of weight, copper fins are light, graphite and aluminum are light, and iron is heavy. The weight of the alloy depends on the materials used. - Thermal resistance calculation result (example of using composite materials) - The benefit of using the composite materials is calculated and analyzed for each material. Copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), the alloy, and iron (Fe) are used as the materials of the base unit 14, and graphite, copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), the alloy, and iron (Fe) are used as the materials of the air-cooling fin unit 16. The numerical values in Figures 17, 18, 19 to 20 below denote the thermal resistance Rth (fin) (K / W). Regarding the values given as a percentage (%) for the base unit 14 and the air-cooling fin unit 16, the black triangles “▼” indicate a reduction rate of the thermal resistance Rth (fin) (K / W), and the white triangles “Δ” indicate an increase rate of the thermal resistance Rth (fin) (K / W), based on the criterion or scale in the case of copper (Cu). Fig. 17 shows a thermal resistance simulation result for the case where the base unit 14 and the air cooling fin unit 16 are made of different materials (length of the air cooling fin unit LF = 80 mm), in the semiconductor device according to the embodiments. Fig. 18 shows a thermal resistance simulation result for the case where the base unit 14 and the air cooling fin unit 16 are made of different materials (length of the air cooling fin unit LF = 40 mm), in the semiconductor device according to the embodiments. Fig. 19 shows a thermal resistance simulation result for the case where the base unit 14 and the air cooling fin unit 16 are made of different materials (length of the air cooling fin unit LF = 20 mm), in the semiconductor device according to the embodiments. Fig. 20 shows a thermal resistance simulation result for the case where the base unit 14 and the air cooling fin unit 16 are made of different materials (length of the air cooling fin unit LF = 10 mm), in the semiconductor device according to the embodiments. The results above demonstrate that the reduction in thermal resistance is significant when the thermally highly conductive material is used for the air cooling fin unit 16, provided the length of the air cooling fin unit LF is relatively long. This is because a fin with a high RATIO value is strongly influenced by the heat transfer coefficient of the air cooling fin unit 16. On the other hand, it is demonstrated that when the length LF of the air cooling fin of the air cooling fin unit 16 is relatively short, there is no significant increase in thermal resistance, even when the material with the low assumed thermal conductivity is used for the air cooling fin unit 16 and the base unit 14. This is because the fin with a small RATIO value is less affected by the heat transfer coefficient of the air cooling fin unit 16. - Simulation result of RATIO and thermal resistance Rth (fin) (K / W) - Fig. 21(a) shows a thermal resistance simulation result of RATIO and the thermal resistance Rth (fin) (K / W) when the base unit 14 and the air-cooling fin unit 16 are made of Cu-Cu, Cu-graphite (Cu-Gr), Al-graphite (Al-Gr), alloy graphite, or Fe-graphite (length of the air-cooling fin unit 16 is LF = 80 mm), in the semiconductor device according to the embodiments. As shown in Fig. 21(a), when the material of the base unit 14 of the air-cooling fin unit 16 is Cu-Cu, which is shown as the criterion or scale, the value of RATIO tends to be large, and the cooling efficiency tends to be inaccurate or excessively high. For this result, if graphite is used for the air-cooling fin unit 16 to increase its thermal conductivity, the thermal resistance can be reduced. The values given in percent (%) indicate the reduction rate of thermal resistance in relation to the criterion value.If the base unit 14 and the air-cooling fin unit 16 are made of Cu-Gr, the thermal resistance value is reduced by approximately 30%. Similarly, the RATIO value is also reduced by approximately 30%. Fig. 21(b) shows a thermal resistance simulation result of RATIO and the thermal resistance value Rth (fin) (K / W) when the base unit 14 and the air-cooling fin unit 16 are made of Cu-Cu, Cu-graphite, Al-graphite, alloy-graphite, or Fe-graphite (length of the air-cooling fin unit 16 is LF = 10 mm), in the semiconductor device according to the embodiments. As shown in Fig. 21(b), when the material of the base unit 14 and the air-cooling fin unit 16 is Cu-Cu, which is specified as the criterion, the value of RATIO tends to be small and the cooling efficiency tends to be high. In contrast, even when graphite (Gr) is used for the air-cooling fin unit 16 to increase the thermal conductivity, the cooling performance is hardly changed. Even if an inexpensive and lightweight material is used for the base unit 14 and the air cooling fin unit 16, the cooling performance will hardly be changed.The values given in percent (%) indicate the rate of increase in thermal resistance relative to the criterion value or scale. If the base unit 14 and the air-cooling fin unit 16 are made of Fe-Gr, the thermal resistance increases by up to approximately 13%. Conversely, the RATIO value is reduced. - Simulation result of thermal resistance value Rth (fin) (K / W) and RATIO - Calculations are performed to determine whether a reduction in thermal resistance is possible, even with a further, smaller air-cooling fin unit, by increasing the tonnage ratio (LF / FS) and reducing the fin space (FS) to increase the number of air-cooling fins, specifically in regions where the air-cooling fin length (LF) is short (equal to or less than 20 mm). Copper (Cu), with a thermal conductivity of 400 W / mK, is used for the air-cooling fin unit. The length of the air-cooling fin (LF) is 2 mm to 20 mm, the fin space (FS) is 0.2 mm to 1 mm, and the number of fins is 40 to 100. Fig. 22(a) shows a simulation result of a relationship between the thermal resistance Rth (fin) (K / W) and the number of fins using the length LF of the air cooling fin as a parameter, and Fig. 22(b) shows a simulation result of a relationship between the value of RATIO and the number of fins using the length LF of the air cooling fin as a parameter, in the semiconductor device according to the embodiments. As shown in Fig. 22(a), the reduction in thermal resistance Rth (fin) (K / W) is more significant when the number of fins is increased, particularly when the length LF of the air-cooling fin is shorter. For a precision-machining fin, the air-cooling fin space FS is approximately 0.2 mm. As shown in Fig. 22(b), the reducing effect of the RATIO value is more pronounced when the number of fins is increased and the length LF of the air-cooling fin is longer. As shown in Fig. 15, when the value of RATIO is equal to or less than 5, the material dependence of the air-cooling fin unit is reduced. The value of RATIO is preferably equal to or less than 5. In addition, if the above calculation is performed under the assumption that the material of the air cooling fin unit is Al, which has a heat transfer coefficient of 237 (W / mK), no significant changes can be observed in the above calculation results. [Fifth embodiment] Fig. 23 shows a schematic cross-sectional structure of a semiconductor device 2 according to a fifth embodiment.

A section of the heat dissipation unit 6 may contain a non-contact unit (NC), excluding the heat diffusion unit 10 and the opening AP. This is used to prevent direct contact between the air cooling fin unit 16FA, 16FB and the heat diffusion unit 10, thereby ensuring heat dissipation performance.

Furthermore, the semiconductor device includes two base units 14PA, 14PB, which are connected to the heat diffusion unit 10 via heat conduction layers 12SA, 12SB. Additionally, the plurality of air-cooling fin units 16FA, 16FB are each connected to the base units 14PA, 14PB via a plurality of thermal contact units. The semiconductor device 2 may also have an opening AP to an external space. Alternatively, the opening AP may not be provided, as long as a structure is provided that ensures airflow. The heat diffusion unit 10 can be configured to efficiently dissipate or diffuse heat using a thermally highly conductive material(s).

The heat diffusion unit 10 includes an opening AP, and the space (heat contact space unit OA) containing the heat dissipation unit 6 is open above or within the opening AP. Alternatively, the heat diffusion unit 10 can contain the heat dissipation unit 6 in a spatially closed state (without an opening AP).

In addition to the heat dissipation unit 10 and the opening AP, a section of the heat dissipation unit 6 may include a contactless or non-contact unit NC. This is used to prevent direct contact between the air cooling fin units 16FA, 17FB, 16FAS, 17FBL and the heat diffusion unit 10, thus ensuring heat dissipation performance.

The pressure plate 40 is clamped under pressure by screw fastening, and the SiC-PM 8 is attached to the vapor chamber 10. Instead of using the heat conduction layer, a soldering process can be performed in this case. The heat conduction layer and the screw thread are not shown in Fig. 29(a). (B) Next, as shown in Fig. 29(b), a heat conduction layer is placed between the base units 14PA, 14PB of the air-cooling fin unit 16F and the vapor chamber 10, and a pressure plate is applied under pressure by screw fastening to attach the air-cooling fin unit 16F to the vapor chamber 10.

(Another configuration example of a SiC PM (6-in-1)) Fig. 30 shows another configuration of a SiC-PM (6-in-1) according to the embodiments, mounted on the semiconductor device 2 according to the embodiments. The vapor chamber 10, which is applicable to the semiconductor device according to the embodiments, can contain a monolithic structure, or can contain a structure that is divided, as shown in Fig. 30. In the configuration shown in Fig. 30, heat diffusion units 10U, 10V, 10W are provided, which are separate from each other or subdivided. Furthermore, power modules PM 80U, 80V, 80W, which are subdivided to correspond to a U-phase, a V-phase, and a W-phase, respectively, are arranged on the subdivided heat diffusion units 10U, 10V, 10W, thereby further improving the efficiency of heat dissipation. Although in Fig. 30 the base unit and the heat conduction layer connected to the air-cooling fin unit 16F are formed in the same way as in Fig. 23, a representation of these is omitted. (Steam chamber) Fig. 31(a) shows a bird's-eye view of an upper container 10UP of a vapor chamber 10 applicable to the semiconductor device according to the embodiments, Fig. 31(b) shows a bird's-eye view of a lower container 10DW thereof, and Fig. 31(c) shows an explanatory diagram of an operating principle thereof. A plurality of wicks 10WK are formed on the lower container 10DW. The plurality of wicks 10WK enables liquid flow by surface tension. (A) Initially, because heat is generated when the PM 8 (TS) is in operation, which is in contact with the steam chamber 10, a working fluid evaporates to generate steam (VP). (B) Next, a steam flow VF is generated, with the steam moving due to a pressure difference between a high-pressure section HP and a low-pressure section LP caused by the evaporation (VP) of the working fluid, as shown in Fig. 31(c). (C) Next, heat is dissipated or dissipated at one end of the steam chamber 10, and a state of steam flow VF changes into a state of liquid (COD) through condensation effects. (D) Next, as shown in Fig. 31(c), a fluid flow LP (SURFACE TENSION) is generated by a capillary force, in conjunction with or accompanied by the surface tension, by the plurality of wicks 10WK. In the vapor chamber 10, which is applicable to the semiconductor device according to the embodiments, the heat transfer efficiency is extremely high due to the phase change, and, for example, a heat transfer coefficient value of about 3000 (W / mK) in degrees can be obtained. (Graphite plate) Fig. 32 shows a schematic bird's-eye view of a configuration of a laminated structure of a graphite plate (graphite layer) having a graphite substrate or being made up of a graphite substrate, applicable to the semiconductor device according to the embodiments. As shown in Fig. 32, graphite layers GS1, GS2, GS3, ..., GSn of each face, consisting of n layers, have many covalent bonds or bond connections of hexagonal crystal in a laminated crystal structure, and the graphite layers GS1, GS2, GS3, ..., GSn of each face are bonded to each other by means of van der Waal forces. More precisely, the graphite, which is a carbon-based material with an anisotropic thermal conductivity, is a laminated crystal body consisting of a hexagonal lattice structure of carbon atoms, and its thermal conductivity is also anisotropic. The graphite layers GS1, GS2, GS3, ..., GSn, shown in Fig. 32, have a thermal conductivity with respect to one crystal face direction (on the XY plane) that is higher than that in one thickness direction of the Z-axis. In an example of the graphite substrate applicable to the semiconductor device according to the embodiments, Fig. 33(a) shows a schematic bird's-eye view of a configuration of an application example of a graphite substrate GP (XY) of an XY orientation, Fig. 33(b) shows a schematic bird's-eye view of a configuration of a graphite substrate GP (XZ) in an XZ orientation, and Fig. 33(c) shows an explanatory diagram showing an aspect in which a graphite substrate GP (XZ) of an XZ orientation is obtained by rotating the graphite substrates GP (XY) of an XY orientation by 90 degrees. In the semiconductor device according to the embodiments, two types of graphite substrates can be applied to the heat diffusion unit 10. More precisely, a graphite substrate GP (XZ) with an XZ orientation and a higher heat transfer coefficient in a thickness direction than in a plane direction, and a graphite substrate GP (XY) with an XY orientation and a higher heat transfer coefficient in the plane direction than in the thickness direction, can be applied. Accordingly, for example, as shown in Fig. 33(a), the graphite substrate GP (XY), which has the XY orientation, is provided with thermal conductivities of X = 1500 (W / mK), Y = 1500 (W / mK) and Z = 5 (W / mK). Meanwhile, for example, as shown in Fig. 33(b), the graphite substrate GP (XZ), which has the XZ orientation, is provided with thermal conductivities of X = 1500 (W / mK), Y = 5 (W / mK) and Z = 1500 (W / mK). In addition, the density of each graphite substrate GP (XY) and GP(XZ) is approximately 2.2 (g / cm3), and the thickness of this is, for example, approximately 0.7 mm to approximately 10 mm, and the size of this is, for example, equal to or less than approximately 40 mm × approximately 40 mm. Furthermore, in the semiconductor device 2 according to the embodiments, the graphite substrate can be applied to the heat dissipation unit 6. More precisely, the graphite substrate can be applied to the base unit 14 of the air cooling fin, which forms the heat dissipation unit 6. The reason why two types of graphite substrates can be used is the same as described above. In these embodiments, graphite substrates GP(XY) and GP(XZ), which are anisotropic and have a high coefficient of thermal conductivity, can be used, thereby providing the semiconductor device with satisfactory thermal diffusivity and a simple structure, with the ability to further reduce thermal resistance. (Simulation result of impact verification) Fig. 34 shows a simulation result of an effect verification of a cooling device 90 according to a comparative example. In Fig. 34, the heat diffusion unit, made of copper (Cu) or a copper vapor chamber (CuVC), is arranged on a base surface, and the air-cooling fin unit extends vertically from the base surface. In Fig. 34, the base width L1 is 70 mm, and the base length LB is 5 mm. The air-cooling fin unit is made of copper (Cu), with a fin width WP of 0.6 mm, a fin spacing FS of 2.5 mm, and a fin length LF of 80 mm. The thickness W1 of the cooling device is 70 mm. According to the simulation result of the effectiveness verification of the cooling device 90 according to the comparison example, it is demonstrated that the heat is not transferred up to a head section of the air cooling fin unit, as shown in Fig. 34. Fig. 35 shows a simulation result of an effectiveness verification of the semiconductor device 2, which includes the cooling device (Cu) according to the embodiments. In Fig. 35, the heat diffusion unit and the air cooling fin unit are constructed in a similar manner to that shown in Fig. 6. In Fig. 35, the heat diffusion unit is formed with copper (Cu), wherein the base width L1 is 80 mm and the base length LB is 5 mm. The air cooling fin unit is formed with copper (Cu), wherein the width WP of the air cooling fin is 0.3 mm, the fin space FS is 1.5 mm, and the length LF of the air cooling fin is 30 mm. The thickness of the cooling device W1 is 70 mm. According to the simulation result of the effectiveness verification of the semiconductor device 2, which contains the cooling device according to the embodiments (Cu), it has been shown that the heat transfer state is reduced relatively on a side surface of the heat diffusion unit that is in contact with the base unit, as shown in Fig. 35. Fig. 36 shows a simulation result of an effectiveness verification of the semiconductor device 2, which includes the cooling device (CuVC) according to the embodiments. In Fig. 36, the heat diffusion unit and the air cooling fin unit are constructed in a similar manner to that shown in Fig. 6. In Fig. 36, the heat diffusion unit is made of copper (CuVC), with a base width L1 of 80 mm and a base length LB of 5 mm. The air cooling fin unit is made of copper (Cu), with a width WP of the air cooling fin of 0.3 mm, a fin space FS of 1.5 mm, and a length LF of the air cooling fin of 30 mm. The thickness W1 of the cooling device is 70 mm. According to the simulation result of the effectiveness verification of the semiconductor device 2, which includes the cooling device (CuVC) according to the embodiments shown in Fig. 36, it has been demonstrated that the heat can be transferred up to the head section of the air cooling fin unit. Fig. 37 shows simulation results of the thermal resistance, thermal resistance value, or heat resistance Rth (Finne) of the semiconductor devices incorporating cooling devices according to Comparative Examples 1 and 2, according to the embodiment (Cu) and the embodiment (CuVC). The semiconductor device incorporating the cooling device according to Comparative Example 1 corresponds to an example of forming the heat diffusion unit with copper (Cu) in the configuration shown in Fig. 34. The semiconductor device incorporating the cooling device according to Comparative Example 2 corresponds to an example of forming the heat diffusion unit with the copper vapor chamber (CuVC) in the configuration shown in Fig. 34. The semiconductor device incorporating the cooling device (Cu) according to the embodiment corresponds to the configuration shown in Fig.35 is shown, and the semiconductor device containing the cooling device (CuVC) according to the embodiment corresponds to the configuration shown in Fig. 36. The values of the thermal resistance or heat resistance Rth (Finne) (K / W) of comparative example 1, comparative example 2, embodiment (Cu) and embodiment (CuVC) are approximately 0.12 (K / W), approximately 0.12 (K / W), approximately 0.14 (K / W) and approximately 0.065 (K / W). In the semiconductor device which includes the cooling device according to comparative example 2, the effect of a low thermal resistance, which is obtained by forming the heat diffusion unit with the copper vapor chamber (CuVC), is not obtained due to the fact that the heat spreads on the base surface. In the semiconductor device which contains the cooling device according to the embodiment (Cu), heat transfer to the side surface of the heat diffusion unit which is in contact with the base unit of the air cooling fin is reduced. In the semiconductor device containing the cooling device (CuVC) according to the embodiment, heat transfer to the lateral surface of the heat diffusion unit in contact with the base unit of the air cooling fin can be achieved. Therefore, the cooling efficiency is increased and the thermal resistance value Rth (fin) (K / W) is reduced by approximately 46% compared to that of comparative examples 1 and 2.

(Example of application) Fig. 45 shows an example of a circuit configuration in which the SiC MOSFET is used as a semiconductor component, and a snubber capacitor C is connected between the power terminal PL and the ground terminal (ground terminal) NL in a three-phase alternating current inverter 42 (AC inverter) constructed using the PM, which is to be mounted on the semiconductor device according to the embodiments. When the PM is connected to the power source E according to the embodiments to perform switching operations, a high surge voltage Ldi / dt is generated due to an inductance L contained in a connecting line, resulting from the high switching speed of the SiC MOSFET and SiC IGBT. For example, the surge voltage Ldi / dt can be represented as follows: di / dt = 3×10⁹(A / s), where a current change di = 300A, and where a time variation dt = 100 ns associated with switching. Although the impulse voltage Ldi / dt changes depending on the value of the inductance L, the impulse voltage Ldi / dt is superimposed on the power source E. Such an impulse voltage Ldi / dt can be absorbed by the snubber capacitor C, which is connected between the power terminal PL and the ground terminal NL.

In this case, the GD 180 is connected to SiC MOSFETs Q1 and Q4, to SiC MOSFETs Q2 and Q5, and to SiC MOSFETs Q3 and Q6. The PM unit 200 includes the SiC MOSFETs (Q1 and Q4), (Q2 and Q5) and (Q3 and Q6) which have inverter configurations, connected between a positive terminal (+) P and a negative terminal (-) N of the converter 55, to which the power supply or storage battery (E) 53 is connected. In addition, freewheeling diodes DI1 to DI6 are connected in reverse parallel between the source and drain of the SiC MOSFETs Q1 to Q6.
