Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a base plate to which a stacked substrate is bonded, the stacked substrate being mounted on a semiconductor chip. The semiconductor device further includes a heat sink mounted to the base plate, via thermal paste and a metal ring. A center hole of the metal ring is provided to face the semiconductor chip and the thermal paste fills the center hole. Further, the metal ring is formed using a material having about a same hardness as the heat sink, or a material having a lower hardness than the hardness of the heat sink.

Claim (Index 10):
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising:\n providing a semiconductor chip, a stacked substrate having opposing first and second sides, a base plate having opposing first and second sides, a heat sink and a metal ring; mounting the semiconductor chip to the first side of the stacked substrate, and mounting the stacked substrate to the first side of the base plate; applying a thermal paste to one of the heat sink and the second side of the base plate; mounting the heat sink to the second side of the base plate using the thermal paste, with the metal ring therebetween, the thermal paste being disposed within an area inside of the metal ring, a thickness of the metal ring being at most a thickness of the thermal paste.
