Abstract

A power module is disclosed that includes a semiconductor element, a first cooling member and a second cooling member configured to sandwich the semiconductor element therebetween, a frame member configured to support the semiconductor element between the first cooling member and the second cooling member and molded resin disposed between the first cooling member and the second cooling member, wherein the frame member includes an adjusting member which adjusts a distance between the first cooling member and the second cooling member.

Claims (8)

1. A power module comprising:

a semiconductor element;

a first cooling member and a second cooling member configured to sandwich the semiconductor element therebetween;

a frame member configured to support the semiconductor element between the first cooling member and the second cooling member; and

a molded resin disposed between the first cooling member and the second cooling member,

wherein the frame member includes an adjusting member which adjusts a distance between the first cooling member and the second cooling member,

wherein the adjusting member includes plural block pieces that are stacked between the first cooling member and the second cooling member in a stack direction of the semiconductor element, the first cooling member and the second cooling member, and wherein the block pieces are relatively slidable with each other in a direction orthogonal to the stack direction.

2. The power module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plural block pieces relatively slide with each other in the direction orthogonal to the stack direction in a state where the plural block pieces are pressed by a molding die during a molding process.
