COOLING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURE THEREOF

摘要

The object is to provide a cooling device having a low thermal contact resistance between the cooling device and other material at a low cost. The cooling device is characterized by comprising a cooling body and a composite layer which is formed on at least one surface of the cooling body and which comprises a complex of a fine whisker-like structure and a metal, wherein one end of the fine whisker-like structure is exposed on the surface of the metal in the composite layer. The fine whisker-like structure is preferably a carbonaceous material such as a carbon nanotube, a carbon nanofiber or a carbon fiber.
