Abstract: The disclosed invention aims at providing a semiconductor module structure which has a high ability of absorbing thermal deformation, is excellent in radiating ability and enables an easy maintenance operation. To this end, in the semiconductor module of the invention thermal conductor members are provided, each of which has an area of contact with a semiconductor device or an inner surface of a housing and has opposed heat transfer surfaces. A radiator is formed integrally on the housing. With this structure, large thermal deformation resulting from a high heat production density design can be absorbed, and at the same time heat from semiconductor devices can be efficiently radiated.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus having a plurality of semiconductor devices which produce heat during operation, with a heat sink having a plurality of tabular or pin-type fins is provided on each semiconductor device. Nozzles are associated with the heat sinks so as to supply a cooling fluid into the heat sinks. The heat sinks are so arranged that all these heat sinks guide and discharge the cooling fluid in the same direction. A breadth of the respective nozzles, as measured in the direction (x-direction) of the flow and discharge of the cooling fluid determined by the heat sink is less than that of the associated heat sink. A width of the nozzle, as measured in the direction (y-direction) perpendicular to the x-direction is smaller than that of the associated heat sink. A space between adjacent nozzles provide a discharge passage of an ample cross-section which reduces resistance encountered by the heated cooling medium to be discharged therethrough.

Abstract: An electronic equipment has a cooling structure in which air discharged from heat sinks can be recovered without any leakage and compact blow ducts and discharge ducts are disposed in a narrow space. A supply opening and a discharge opening for cooling air are independently formed in a heat sink. A plurality of supply branched ducts and discharge branched ducts are combined in a comb-like shape along the axis of the ducts. Ejection openings for cooling air are formed on each of the supply branched ducts in positions corresponding to each of the heat sinks. Such ejection openings are closely connected to the supply openings for cooling air of the heat sinks. On the other hand, recovery openings for cooling air are formed on each of the refrigerant discharge ducts in a position corresponding to each of the heat sinks. Such recovery openings are closely connected to the discharge openings for gas refrigerant of the heat sinks.

Abstract: An apparatus for cooling semiconductor devices includes a module for cooling semiconductor devices; a refrigerant cooling device for receiving via an outlet pipe the refrigerant discharged through an outlet port of the module to cool the refrigerant; a refrigerant circulation pump for receiving, via a suction pipe, the refrigerant cooled by the refrigerant cooling device and sending the refrigerant to the module via an inlet pipe; and a refrigerant-flow stabilizing mechanism for stabilizing a refrigerant circulation flow discharged from the refrigerant circulation pump to be returned to the refrigerant circulation pump via the module and the refrigerant cooling device. Since the refrigerant-flow stabilizing mechanism stabilize the refrigerant flow, the refrigerant flow can be stably circulated so that the semiconductor devices in the module are stably cooled.

Abstract: A semiconductor cooling unit for directly jetting a cooling medium against surfaces of semiconductor devices for use in a high-speed computer or the like to effectively remove heat from the semiconductor devices, in which partition members for partitioning a space into regions where semiconductor devices are placed. Each partitioned region has an opening at its ceiling side, and a pipe for supplying or discharging the cooling medium through the opening is disposed so as to project toward a central portion of the back surface of each semiconductor device. This pipe is utilized to also section a cooling medium supply header or a cooling medium return header so that bubbles generated from the semiconductor device surfaces can be smoothly removed, and so that the cooling medium can flow smoothly onto the semiconductor devices.

Abstract: High heat generation member of electronic integrated circuit etc. is boiled and cooled. A refrigerant steam is generated by cooling of the heat generation member and is condensed by a condenser which is provided an upper portion. A refrigerant steam flow path and a condensed refrigerant flow path from the condenser are separated with a partition wall. The condensed liquid sent back to the partition wall is supplied to the heat generation member through the partition wall.
