Abstract:
A device for controlling a temperature of a seminconductor module, the device comprising:a first supporting unit for supporting the semiconductor module by bringing a first heat transfer surface disposed on the first supporting unit into contact with a first portion of the semiconductor module; a second supporting unit for supporting the semiconductor module by bringing a second heat transfer surface disposed on the second supporting unit into contact with a second portion of the semiconductor module; a temperature sensor for measuring a temperature of the second supporting unit; a heat insulating section for shielding an area of the second supporting unit, the area including the second heat transfer surface and the temperature sensor, from heat transmitted from portions other than the second heat transfer surface; and a first temperature regulator for raising and lowering a temperature of the first supporting unit, wherein the first temperature regulator is controlled in order to maintain the temperature measured by the temperature sensor at a predetermined temperature.
