COOLER AND SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE HAVING COOLER
First Claim
1. A cooler for cooling a semiconductor module, comprising:
- a top plate;
a jacket having a bottom plate, a side plate firmly fixed to the top plate, and a main refrigerant path therein;
a refrigerant inflow port through which a refrigerant flows into a space surrounded by the top plate and jacket;
a refrigerant outflow port through which the refrigerant flows out from the space;
a plurality of fins firmly fixed to the top plate and disposed separately on left and right relative to the main refrigerant path in the jacket to be inclined toward an inflow side of the main refrigerant path;
heat transfer pins disposed on the top plate on the refrigerant inflow side of the fins; and
a curved plate-like bimetal valve having one end connected to each heat transfer pin, and another free end.
