  • Patent number: 10064310
    Abstract: In order to efficiently cool a heat-generating semiconductor element, it is desirable to cool a power semiconductor element from both surfaces. Therefore, in order to cool multiple power semiconductor elements, it is an effective way to alternately arrange a semiconductor component having the incorporated semiconductor element and a cooling device. A power conversion device for handling a high-power voltage needs to ensure pressure resistance between semiconductor elements or circuits inside the device. It is an effective way to seal the semiconductor component with a sealing material such as a silicone gel. Therefore, it is necessary to install the semiconductor component or the circuit having the incorporated semiconductor element, in a case from which a liquid silicone gel prior to curing does not leak even if the gel is injected.
