Abstract: Conventional problems are solved by providing a cooling mechanism having a nanocapillary structure constituted by graphene, a semiconductor device including the cooling mechanism, a method for manufacturing the same, and an electronic device. A first metal layer, a first graphene layer formed on the first metal layer and having a nanocapillary channel, a second graphene layer joined to an upper surface of the nanocapillary channel to form an opening of a passage for a refrigerant, and a second metal layer covering the second graphene layer are included.

Abstract: A yield drop of a semiconductor package including a via is reduced. The semiconductor package includes a solid-state imaging element, a circuit layer, a wiring layer, and a support substrate. The solid-state imaging element in the semiconductor package generates image data. A signal processing circuit that performs predetermined signal processing on the image data is disposed in the circuit layer. An output side via the other end of which is connected to an external terminal penetrates the support substrate. The wiring layer is disposed between the support substrate and the circuit layer. A signal line that connects the signal processing circuit and one end of the output side via is wired in the wiring layer.
