Abstract

A heat sink board having a first heat sink and a second heat sink with a smaller linear expansion coefficient than that of the first heat sink and being bonded to the first heat sink to form the heat sink board. The second heat sink is fitted to the first heat sink, and a material of the first heat sink in the vicinity of a boundary between the fitted heat sinks is plastically deformed for close adhesion to the second heat sink. A forming method makes bonding between the first and second heat sinks possible at room temperature, and the heat sink board made of a composite member having a high flat-surface accuracy can be easily and reliably obtained.

Claims (20)

1. A power module device, comprising:

a first heat sink having at least one hole;

at least one second heat sink being fitted in a respective one of said at least one hole and having an expansion coefficient smaller than an expansion coefficient of said first heat sink;

a semiconductor component fixed by solder to a surface of said second heat sink; and

a plastic flow portion stress-bonded for close adhesion to an outer peripheral surface of said second heat sink, said plastic flow portion being material of said first heat sink;

wherein a recessed-shaped pressing mark is defined by a surface of said first heat sink and an outer peripheral surface of said second heat sink.

2. The power module device according to claim 1 , wherein said second heat sink has a disk or elliptic shape.

3. The power module device according to claim 2 , wherein a part of the peripheral surface of said heat sink is exposed at said pressing mark having recess shape recessed to the plastic flow bonding.

4. The power module device according to claim 1 , wherein a semiconductor chip is fixed on a surface of said second heat sink.

5. The power module device according to claim 4 , wherein a width of said pressing mark is relatively small, said pressing mark being formed around said second heat sink.

6. A power module device, comprising:

a first heat sink having at least one hole and being made of a Cu-based material;

at least one second heat sink being fitted in a respective one of said at least one hole and made of a Cu—Mo composition material having an expansion coefficient smaller than an expansion coefficient of said first heat sink;

a semiconductor component fixed to one surface of said second heat sink by solder; and

a plastic flow portion stress-bonded for close adhesion to an outer peripheral surface of said second heat sink, said plastic flow portion being material of said first heat sink;

wherein a recess-shaped pressing mark is defined by a surface of said first heat sink, and outer peripheral surface of said second heat sink.

7. The power module device according to claim 6 , wherein said second heat sink has a disk or elliptic shape.

8. The power module device according to claim 7 , wherein a part of the peripheral surface of said heat sink is exposed at said pressing mark having recess shape recessed to the plastic flow bonding.

9. The power module device according to claim 6 , wherein a semiconductor chip is fixed on a surface of said second heat sink.

10. The power module device according to claim 9 , wherein a width of said pressing mark is relatively small, said pressing mark being formed around said second heat sink.
