Abstract:
1. A cooling apparatus for cooling a semiconductor device to a target temperature; said semiconductor device including a first surface, said first surface being planar, said semiconductor device passing electric current therethrough and generating heat so that a temperature thereof rises above said target temperature and a temperature of said first surface rises; said apparatus comprising: a cooling body comprising opposing first and second sides, said first side being a pressure-contact surface for pressing against said first surface and said second side being a cooled surface; said cooled surface including inner and outer surfaces, said inner surface corresponding to a portion of certain range including a center of said first surface; and a plurality of cooling members vertically disposed on said outer surface so that air passes through said cooling members; air supply means for supplying said air; and compressed air supply means for supplying by discharging compressed air with a sprayer, said compressed air being compressed by a compressor and cooled, so that said compressed air hits a portion of specific range including a position corresponding to said center.
