A stacked heat exchanger includes: passage tubes stacked with each other to support a heat exchange object, a passage being defined in the passage tube for a heat medium to exchange heat with the heat exchange object; and a pipe connected to one of the passage tubes located at one end in a stacking direction of the plurality of passage tubes. Each of the passage tubes has a protruding pipe portion protruding in the stacking direction and communicating with the adjacent passage tube in the stacking direction. The one of the passage tubes located at the one end in the stacking direction is an in/out passage tube. The pipe has a surface at one end in a longitudinal direction of the pipe, and the surface intersects the longitudinal direction of the pipe and is joined to the in/out passage tube.

A method for manufacturing a photoelectric conversion device, that includes: forming a laminate structure of a substrate, a transparent electrode, an active layer produced by wet-coating, and a counter electrode, stacked in this order; and thereafter forming a cavity by: (a) pressing an adhesive material just against a defect formed on the surface of said counter electrode, and then peeling off said adhesive material together with said defect and the peripheral part thereof; or (b) sucking a defect formed on the surface of said counter electrode, so as to remove said defect and the peripheral part thereof, where said cavity penetrates through the counter electrode and unreached to the transparent electrode.

A lighting device and a method of manufacturing a lighting device are described. A lighting device includes a flat carrier that has a front surface and a rear surface opposite the front surface. The flat carrier includes a cutout and multiple carrier-side electrical contacts on the rear surface. A mounting element is provided on the rear surface of the flat carrier and includes multiple mount-side electrical contacts electrically coupled to the multiple carrier-side electrical contacts and an elevated portion projecting into the cutout. Multiple LED elements are provided on the elevated portion of the mounting element and electrically coupled to the mounting element on the same side as the multiple mount-side side electrical contacts. A heat sink element is thermally coupled to the mounting element on a side of said mounting element opposite the flat carrier.

The power module comprises an electronic board (EB), in which at least one power switching branch is integrated, a capacitor (C.sub.E) and at least three DC power supply busbars (B1, B2, B3), wherein the electronic board is mounted between a first busbar (B1) and a second busbar (B2) and the capacitor is mounted between the second busbar (B2) and a third busbar (B3) and the electronic board, the capacitor and the busbars comprise electric contact faces allowing assembly, of the press pack type, of the electronic board and of the capacitor.

A base plate (1) made of a metal has a through-hole (2). An insulating substrate (3) is provided on the base plate (1). A semiconductor chip (4) is provided on the insulating substrate (3). A case (8) has a screw-hole (9) communicating with the through-hole (2), covers the insulating substrate (3) and the semiconductor chip (4), and is disposed on the base plate (1). A screw (11) made of a metal is inserted into the through-hole (2) and the screw-hole (9) to fix the case (8) to the base plate (1). A flexible material (12) having flexibility is filled in a cavity between a bottom surface of the screw-hole (9) in the case (8) and a distal end of the screw (11).

An electronic device with heat sink is provided. The heat sink includes a base and fins. One side of the base has a first placement plane and a second placement plane. The electronic device includes a circuit board, a power module and transistors. The power module includes a power body and soldering legs, and the power body is attached to the first placement plane. The transistor has a transistor body and pins, and the transistor body is attached to the second placement plane. The circuit board is disposed at one side of the base formed with the first placement plane, and soldering legs of the power module and pins of the transistor are inserted on the circuit board. Thereby the heat sinks and the space which the circuit board occupied will be reduced for increasing the power density of the heat sink.
