Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A maximum length of a heat sink is set as “L” and a warp amount of the heat sink is set as “Z”; the warp amount “Z” is set as a positive value if a bonded surface of the heat sink to a metal layer is deformed to be concave or the warp amount “Z” is set as a negative value if the bonded surface is deformed to be convex; a ratio Z/L of the maximum length “L” and the warp amount “Z” measured at 25° C. is in a range not smaller than −0.005 and not larger than 0.005, and the ratio Z/L is in the range not smaller than −0.005 and not larger than 0.005 even when it is heated to 280° C. and then cooled to 25° C.
