Abstract
The present invention relates to a cooling system where a semiconductor component including a semiconductor chip and a cooling apparatus are joined, wherein a coolant is supplied to a substrate, on which a semiconductor chip is installed, through an opening member of the cooling apparatus so that a surface of the substrate may be directly cooled by the coolant so as to improve cooling efficiency, and a cooling post structure, which enables the coolant to smoothly flow, is used to further improve cooling efficiency.
Claims20
A cooling system where a semiconductor component comprising a semiconductor chip and a cooling apparatus are joined, the system comprising:
- a semiconductor component comprising at least one substrate, where at least one semiconductor chip is installed on one side thereof, a package housing covering the at least one substrate, and at least one terminal lead electrically connected to the at least one semiconductor chip and exposed to the outside of the package housing, wherein the other side of the at least one substrate is partly or entirely exposed to an upper surface, a lower surface, or the upper and lower surfaces of the package housing;
- and
- a cooling apparatus comprising a cover body and at least one cooling post, wherein the cover body comprises a coolant flow path in an inner space thereof and at least one opening member on one side thereof where the at least one substrate contacts, and the at least one cooling post is arranged vertically across the inner space of the cover body and is formed of a conductive or non-conductive material,
- wherein the cooling apparatus further comprises at least one inlet, where a coolant flows in, and at least one outlet, from where a coolant is discharged, a length of the at least one substrate exposed to the surface of the package housing is shorter than a length of the at least one opening member, and heat generated and transmitted from the semiconductor chip to the at least one substrate, which is exposed through the at least one opening member, and the at least one cooling post is directly cooled by a coolant.
