1. A semi-conductor assembly, comprising:

  • an elongated, electrically isolated metallic support structure of generally rectangular cross section, said structure containing therein an enclosed coolant conduit spanning the length of said support structure, said conduit being of generally rectangular cross-section, the width dimension of said conduit being greater than its height;

    a semi-conductor device mounted on at least one exterior surface of said structure, said device being bonded in a thermally intimate manner to said surface of said structure opposing said width dimension of said conduit and being placed opposing a concave curved heat transfer segment of the surface of said conduit;

    first circuit means extending along and spaced from said structures, for providing electrical control to said semi-conductor device;

    second circuit means, expending along and spaced from said structure, for carrying current from said semi-conductor device; and

    electrical interconnect means for connecting said semi-conductor device to said first and second circuit means.
