1. A semiconductor device comprising:
a semiconductor package including a semiconductor element, a metal member, and a molding member for encapsulating the semiconductor element and the metal member therein, the metal member having a metal portion thermally connected to the semiconductor element, an electrically insulating layer on the metal portion, and an electrically conducting layer on the insulating layer, the conducting layer at least partially exposed outside the molding member and serving as a radiation surface for radiating heat of the semiconductor element; a viscous member having both a heat conductivity and a viscosity; and a cooler having a coolant passage through which a coolant circulates, wherein the coolant cools the conducting layer and absorbs the heat of the semiconductor element, the conducting layer and the cooler are electrically connected together, and a clearance between the radiation surface of the semiconductor package and the cooler is filled with the viscous member so that the radiation surface is in contact with the cooler through the viscous member, wherein the viscous member includes an electrically insulating grease and an electrically conducting grease, the conducting grease is surrounded by the insulating grease, the conducting layer and the cooler are in contact with each other through both the insulating grease and the conducting grease, and the conducting layer and the cooler are electrically connected together through the conducting grease. |
