A power semiconductor module with its thermal resistance and overall size reduced. Insulating substrates with electrode metal layers disposed thereon are joined to both the surfaces of a power semiconductor chip by using, for example, soldering. Metal layers are disposed also on the reverse surfaces of the insulating substrates and the metal layers are joined to the heat spreaders by using brazing. Heat radiating fins are provided on the heat radiating surface of at least one of the heat spreaders. The heat radiating side of each of the heat spreaders is covered by a casing to form a refrigerant chamber through which refrigerant flows to remove heat transmitted from the semiconductor chip to the heat spreader.

A method of manufacturing a solar battery by serially connecting a plurality of solar battery elements arranged spaced from each other. A pair of flexible films are used to sandwich the arrangement of the solar battery elements, and each of the flexible films has a plurality of conductive members formed thereon at positions respectively corresponding to the solar battery elements. However, each conductive member has one end portion extended beyond the surface of the corresponding solar battery element in the direction of the alignment of the solar battery elements. Thus, when the pair of flexible films are disposed to sandwich the solar battery elements, the extended end portion of the conductive member on the side of the light receiving surface of one solar battery element is positioned in the space between adjacent solar battery elements opposite the end portion of the conductive member on the side of the back surface of the next solar battery element. By welding both end portions of the conductive members by, for example, a laser beam, the adjacent solar battery elements are successively connected in series.

Use of Pb-free solder has become essential due to the environmental problem. A power module is formed by soldering substrates with large areas. It is known that in Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu which hardly creeps and deforms with respect to large deformation followed by warpage of the substrate, life is significantly shortened with respect to the temperature cycle test, and the conventional module structure is in the situation having difficulty in securing high reliability. Thus, the present invention has an object to select compositions from which increase in life can be expected at a low strain rate. In Sn solder, by doping In by 3 to 7% and Ag by 2 to 4.5%, the effect of delaying crack development at a low strain rate is found out, and as a representative composition stable at a high temperature, Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu-5In is selected. Further, for enhancement of reliability, a method for partially coating a solder end portion with a resin is shown.

The present invention relates to an electric appliance and a remaining life estimation system wherein the electric appliance having a printed circuit board on which at least LSI components are mounted includes an IC with sensor. The IC includes a time monitor for calculating the operation status which is a use condition affecting the life of a reusable component of the appliance, a temperature and humidity sensor for detecting at least temperature and humidity environmental conditions affecting the life of the reusable component, and a memory for storing the history of temperature and humidity in correspondence with the history of operation status. A control unit controls storage of the history of temperature and humidity which is detected by the temperature and humidity sensor so as to be stored in the memory in correspondence with the history of operation status which is calculated by the time monitor, and allows, when the remaining life of the component is evaluated so as to decide whether or not to reuse it, external reading of the history of temperature and humidity corresponding to the history of operation status from the memory.
摘要:
A heat conducting member is placed in the space between a semiconductor chip which generates heat and a heat transfer block which is cooled by a coolant, and the heat conducting member conducts heat from the semiconductor chip to the heat transfer block. The heat conducting member has a slanted surface which is inclined with respect to a surface to be cooled of the corresponding semiconductor chip. Even when the semiconductor chip is displaced or inclined with respect to the heat transfer block, the whole of the cooling surface of the semiconductor chip can be kept in contact with the corresponding heat conducting member.
