    Abstract: In order to efficiently cool a heat-generating semiconductor element, it is desirable to cool a power semiconductor element from both surfaces. Therefore, in order to cool multiple power semiconductor elements, it is an effective way to alternately arrange a semiconductor component having the incorporated semiconductor element and a cooling device. A power conversion device for handling a high-power voltage needs to ensure pressure resistance between semiconductor elements or circuits inside the device. It is an effective way to seal the semiconductor component with a sealing material such as a silicone gel. Therefore, it is necessary to install the semiconductor component or the circuit having the incorporated semiconductor element, in a case from which a liquid silicone gel prior to curing does not leak even if the gel is injected. For these reasons, an object to be achieved by the invention is that the semiconductor element can be cooled from both surfaces by alternately arranging the semiconductor component having the incorporated semiconductor element and the cooling device. The above-described object can be achieved as follows. A substantially rectangular thin plate is subjected to mountain bending and valley bending so as to form a shape having as many recesses as the number of the mounted semiconductor components having the incorporated semiconductor element. Concurrently, a lateral side in a direction orthogonal to the above-described bending direction is bent so as to dispose the case in which all edges configuring an outer shape of the thin plate are arranged on substantially the same plane. The semiconductor component having the incorporated semiconductor element is arranged at a position serving as the recess of the case. The cooling devices are arranged so as to interpose the semiconductor component having the incorporated semiconductor element via the case. The semiconductor component having the incorporated semiconductor element is sealed with a silicone gel. In addition, preferably, the case is configured to include metal which has high heat conductivity. More preferably, the case is configured to include aluminum, copper, or an alloy whose principal components are both of these.

    Abstract: A power conversion apparatus includes: a circuit body including a switching device; a base member forming a first concave portion and a cooling surface; and a wedge inserted in the first concave portion of the base member. The first concave portion of the base member is formed by a substrate portion forming the cooling surface, a first wall disposed on the opposite side of the substrate portion from the cooling surface, and an intermediate portion interconnecting the first wall and the substrate portion. The first wall forms an insertion space for insertion of the wedge, and a heat transfer plane forming a heat dissipating surface and a heat transfer path of the circuit body. The intermediate portion is plastically deformed by inserting the wedge into the insertion space, thus causing the first wall to be displaced toward the location of the circuit body.

    Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a power converter that can be reduced in size. To achieve this, a power converter according to the invention includes: water passages arranged radially from an assumed central axis, each being trapezoid-shaped in cross section; and power modules placed between the water passages such that each of the power modules is sandwiched from both surfaces thereof by the water passages. Each of the power modules has an output terminal and positive and negative terminals on an end face located in a centrifugal direction side with respect to the assumed central axis. Any of the power modules and an adjacent one of the power modules are set in a front-back inverted manner.

    Abstract: In order to efficiently cool a heat-generating semiconductor element, it is desirable to cool a power semiconductor element from both surfaces. Therefore, in order to cool multiple power semiconductor elements, it is an effective way to alternately arrange a semiconductor component having the incorporated semiconductor element and a cooling device. In addition, it is desirable to eliminate a gap and to reduce contact heat resistance between members in contact with each other, by suitably pressurizing a portion between the semiconductor component having the incorporated semiconductor element and the cooling device. In this case, if rigidity of a case in which the semiconductor component having the incorporated semiconductor element or the cooling device is installed is high in a pressurizing direction, the rigidity hinders a heat transfer point from being suitably pressurized. For these reasons, it is required to provide the case in which the semiconductor component having the incorporated semiconductor element and the cooling device can be alternately arranged, and in which the rigidity in the pressurizing direction is low. A power conversion device for handling a high-power voltage needs to ensure pressure resistance between the semiconductor elements or circuits inside the device. It is an effective way to seal the semiconductor component with a sealing material such as a silicone gel. Therefore, it is necessary to install the semiconductor component or the circuit having the incorporated semiconductor element, in a case from which the liquid silicone gel prior to curing does not leak even if the gel is injected. For these reasons, an object to be achieved by the invention is to provide the power conversion device in which the semiconductor element can be cooled from both surfaces by alternately arranging the semiconductor component having the incorporated semiconductor element and the cooling device, and which includes the case in which the rigidity in the pressurizing direction is low and which can be sealed while leakage is prevented even if the liquid silicone gel is injected. The above-described object can be achieved as follows. A thin plate is formed in a shape having as many recesses as the number of the mounted semiconductor components having the incorporated semiconductor element. Concurrently, a case is disposed so that all edges configuring an outer shape of the thin plate are arranged on substantially the same plane. The semiconductor component having the incorporated semiconductor element is arranged at a position serving as the recess of the case. The cooling devices are arranged so as to interpose the semiconductor component having the incorporated semiconductor element via the case.
