The channel has a periphery which is designed to be smooth. The body includes a first body portion which is embodied as curved, alternatingly curved, serpentine or U-shaped. A coolant, in particular a gaseous coolant, flows through the first body portion along a surface of the first body portion, wherein portions of the channel are arranged parallel to one another and/or in the presence of more than one channel, different channels are arranged parallel to one another. The body is composed of two block parts, with parts of the channel being arranged on a boundary area of the two block parts, respectively.

Abstract: A contact system includes a support body, a heat sink configured to contact the support body in an electrically insulated and/or heat-conducting manner, and an electrically insulating layer arranged between the heat sink and the support body. The heat sink has a first surface which is embodied substantially as a flat area and formed with a recess in a region intended for contacting a periphery of a contact area of the support body. The recess forms an unbroken track on the first surface of the heat sink. The contact area of the support body is located on the heat sink in such a way that the recess extends completely along the periphery of the contact area. The insulating layer between the heat sink and the support body is configured to cover the recess in such a way that a dosed channel is formed by the recess and the insulating layer.

Abstract: In a method for producing an apparatus for cooling a semiconductor arrangement, a first cooling channel is produced in a metal body with a first FSC (Friction Stir Channeling) at a first depth from a surface of the metal body. Using the first FSC method, a first connecting channel is produced extending from the first cooling channel to the surface of the metal body. Using second FSC method a second cooling channel is produced in the metal body at a second depth from the surface of the metal body, with the second depth being smaller than the first depth. The first connecting channel forms a fluidic connection between the first cooling channel and the second cooling channel, and the first and second cooling channels and the first connecting channel form a cooling channel structure.
