Semiconductor device having a heat sink.

摘要

A semiconductor device having a semiconductor element (6) and a heat sink (1) radiating heat generated in the semiconductor element includes an amorphous semiconductor film (8) provided on the heat sink and the semiconductor element is put on the heat sink via the amorphous semiconductor film. Therefore, the stress, applied to the semiconductor element can be reduced because of the amorphous semiconductor film. In a construction where an amorphous semiconductor film comprising amorphous silicon or amorphous germanium is formed on the heat sink via a first metal film (9) and the semiconductor element is bonded to the amorphous semiconductor film via a second metal film (12), ohmic contact is made by alloys formed between the amorphous semiconductor film and the first and second metal film. Furthermore, in a construction where an amorphous semiconductor film is formed only at a region on the heat sink where the semiconductor element is put, and a metal film having electric resistance lower than that of the amorphous semiconductor film is formed on the amorphous semiconductor film and the heat sink, and the semiconductor element is formed on the heat sink via the amorphous semiconductor film and the metal film, a passage through which current flows is separated from a passage through which heat flows.
