1. A semiconductor element cooling structure, comprising:
a semiconductor element; a heat sink on which said semiconductor element is mounted; and a heat storage member attached to said semiconductor element, said heat storage member comprising a latent heat storage material, wherein said latent heat storage material is located opposite to said heat sink with respect to said semiconductor element, such that said semiconductor element is sandwiched between said heat sink and said latent heat storage material; and said heat storage member further comprises a conductive case within which said latent heat storage material is retained; a heat transfer member which connects said conductive case of said heat storage member to a bus bar disposed on said heat sink, and said heat transfer member having a heat transfer coefficient higher than a heat transfer coefficient of air; wherein the heat sink includes an inlet and an outlet, and a cooling medium is introduced into the heat sink by the inlet and is discharged through the outlet; said semiconductor element and said bus bar are electrically connected via said conductive case and said heat transfer member interposed between said semiconductor element and said bus bar.
