  • Patent number: 6627989
    Abstract: To provide a semiconductor device that is capable of transmitting heat evolved in an active element efficiently to a heat sink member, and a manufacturing method for the semiconductor device. One of the terminals (such as drain electrode) of an active element formed in a substrate of, for example, GaAs, is thermally contacted with a heat sink member via an insulating member of, for example, aluminum nitride, exhibiting thermally conductive and electrically insulating properties. The heat sink member may, for example, be an electrically conductive member connected to another terminal of the active element, or a heat sink of a package.
