Abstract
The present invention is a semiconductor apparatus having at least a part of a semiconductor device conjugated to a metal material for heat sink via an electric insulating material, wherein said electric insulating material is a bismuth glass layer.
Claims13
A vehicle comprising:
- a motor for driving an axle directly connected to wheels;
- an inverter for controlling a driving force of said motor and including at least one semiconductor apparatus having a heat transfer structure in which semiconductor devices are conjugated with a heat releasing metal via an electric insulating material which is a bismuth glass layer;
- and
- a battery for driving said inverter or recovering a power from said motor.

An inverter vehicle comprising:
- a motor for driving an axle directly connected to wheels;
- an inverter for controlling a driving force of said motor and having at least one semiconductor apparatus including a primary circuit section having semiconductor devices disposed on a first metal material, a control circuit section for transmitting control signals to said primary circuit section, and external input-output terminals to be connected to said primary circuit section and said control circuit section, a second metal material for exchanging heat generated from said semiconductor devices into the ambient environment, an electric insulating material interposed between said first metal material or said external input-output terminals and said second metal material, said electric insulating material being a bismuth glass layer, and an intermediate layer comprising a metal or metal product or a combination of said metal and said metal product interposed between said first metal material or said external input-output terminals and said bismuth glass layer, and between said second metal material and said bismuth glass layer, said intermediate layer being conjugated with said bismuth glass layer;
- and
- a battery for driving said inverter or recovering a power from said motor.
