The opening is configured to receive an integrated cooling structure of a corresponding semiconductor module that includes a baseplate to be attached to the attachment point on the first side of the first cooler part. A second cooler part is arranged on an opposite, second side of the first cooler part. The first cooler part and the second cooler part are made from a fiber reinforced polymer material and are joined so as to form a cavity for a coolant between the second side of the first cooler part and the second cooler part.

A non-conductive encapsulation cover is mounted on a support face of a support substrate to delimit, with the support substrate, an internal housing. An integrated circuit chip is mounted to the support substrate within the internal housing. A metal pattern is mounted to an internal wall of the non-conductive encapsulation cover in a position facing the support face. At least two U-shaped metal wires are provided within the internal housing, located to a side of the integrated circuit chip, and fixed at one end to the metallic pattern and at another end to the support face.

Provided are a semiconductor module capable of easily connecting extraction pin with a wiring board and having reliable connections, and a method for manufacturing the same. A semiconductor module includes: a multilayer board having a semiconductor device mounted thereon, the multilayer board electrically connecting to the semiconductor device; an extraction pin electrically connecting to one of the semiconductor device and the multilayer board; and a wiring board bonded to the extraction pin for electrical connection. The extraction pin has a press-fit. The wiring board has a hole portion bonded with the press-fit of the extraction pin. The base materials of the press-fit of the extraction pin and the hole portion of the wiring board are copper (Cu). A bonded portion between the base materials of press-fit and the corresponding hole portion of the wiring board includes a CuSnNi alloy layer.

A package is configured such that a length in a direction parallel to a semiconductor chip is larger than a length in a direction orthogonal to the semiconductor chip, and the package includes a substrate to which the semiconductor chip is electrically connected and fixed, a side wall firmly attached to the substrate, and a cover firmly attached to the side wall. The package includes a detection space in which gas flows around the semiconductor chip. The package includes openings formed in the side wall and/or between the side wall and the cover and communicated with the detection space.

An optical device package comprises a carrier having a first surface and a second surface recessed with respect to the first surface and a lid disposed on the second surface of the carrier.

A power module can include a casing mounted to a baseplate that contains a substrate with circuitry. The circuitry can include pins for coupling signals to/from the circuitry. These pins can extend through a cover portion of the casing so that an electronic substrate, such as a printed circuit board (PCB) can be press-fit onto the pins. When press-fit, the electronic substrate is supported and positioned by support pillars that extend from the base plate to above the cover portion of the casing. If the pins and the support pillars have different coefficients of thermal expansion, damage to connection points between the pins and the circuitry may occur. Here, a power module is disclosed that has thermally matched pins and support pillars so that when the system is thermally cycled over a range of temperatures, the connection points are not damaged by forces induced by thermal expansion.
