Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device comprising: a heater element; a first heat sink disposed on one side of the heater element so that the first heat sink thermally connects to the heater element; a second heat sink disposed on the other side of the heater element so that the second heat sink thermally connects to the heater element; a resin mold for molding the heater element and the first and second heat sinks; and a pair of cooling members, each of the first heat sink and the second heat sink being connected to one of the cooling members through an insulation member so that the first and the second heat sinks do not contact the cooling members directly, wherein the first heat sink includes a first heat radiation surface, which is disposed opposite to the heater element and exposed from the resin mold, wherein the second heat sink includes a second heat radiation surface, which is disposed opposite to the heater element and exposed from the resin mold, wherein the first and second heat radiation surfaces have a degree of parallelism therebetween equal to or smaller than 0.2 mm, and wherein the pair of cooling members are disposed outside of the first and second heat radiation surfaces so that the cooling members sandwich the heater element through the first and second heat sinks.
