Abstract:
A fastening system for retaining on a support member an assembly of at least one semiconductor die and a temperature control device arranged in heat-conducting relation with said semiconductor die, said fastening system comprising:a support member; an assembly including at least one semiconductor die and a temperature control device arranged in heat-conducting relation with said semiconductor die, said temperature control device having at least one hole therein for receiving an elongated mounting member to mount said assembly on said support member; an elongated mounting member which can be installed in said hole in said temperature control device so as to extend outwardly from the temperature control device with said mounting member being movable in the hole relative to the temperature control device in the direction of elongation of said mounting member; and a retention member receivable in said mounting member for expanding said mounting member in the hole of the temperature control device into locking engagement with the temperature control device to prevent relative movement between the temperature control device and the mounting member in the direction of elongation of said mounting member.
