SEMICONDUCTOR APPARATUS
A semiconductor apparatus includes: a semiconductor module; a cooler including flow paths through which a refrigerant flows; a casing including a bottom surface; at least one first fixing member fixing the cooler to the bottom surface; and at least one second fixing member fixing the cooler to the bottom surface. The cooler includes: an outer surface directed to the bottom surface of the casing; an inner surface that is a part of wall surfaces of the flow paths on an opposite side to the outer surface; an outer wall to which the at least one first fixing member is connected; and an outer wall that is on an opposite side to the outer wall and to which the at least one second fixing member is connected. The semiconductor module is positioned between the bottom surface of the casing and the outer surface of the cooler, and is pressed by these two surfaces.

COOLER AND SEMICONDUCTOR APPARATUS
A cooler includes a main body extending in the Y direction. The main body includes: (i) an outer wall including an outer surface on which a semiconductor module is to be arranged, and an inner surface; (ii) an inflow path extending in the Y direction, and having an end into which a refrigerant flows; (iii) an outflow path extending in the Y direction, and having an end from which the refrigerant flows out; and (iv) cooling flow paths having the inner surface as a part of a wall surface. The cooling flow paths are arrayed in the Y direction, extend in the X direction, and are positioned between the inflow and outflow paths and the outer wall in the Z direction. Each of the cooling flow paths causes the inflow path and the outflow path to communicate with each other in the X direction.

SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE
An outer frame (outer wall) of a housing of a semiconductor device has a spacer portion that protrudes beyond a bottom surface of a cooling bottom plate in an opposite direction to a semiconductor chip. When the semiconductor device is placed on an arbitrary placement surface for example, the spacer portion produces a gap between a rear surface of a cooling device (that is, a bottom surface of the cooling bottom plate) and the placement surface. This means that the bottom surface of the cooling bottom plate does not directly touch the placement surface and is less likely to be damaged. Favorable sealing is maintained between pipes, which are attached to the cooling device of the semiconductor device, and an inlet and an outlet on the cooling bottom plate.
