Abstract

This heat sink has bonded on one surface a member to be bonded, and has a cooling member in contact with the other surface. The heat sink is provided with a metal plate having a thermal expansion coefficient larger than that of the member to be bonded, and the metal plate is provided with a center portion where the member to be bonded is bonded, and a plurality of linear peripheral slits formed in a whirl-like radial manner such that the linear peripheral slits surround the center portion.

the buried metals are buried in the plurality of linear peripheral slits, and
the buried metals are plastically deformed by a shearing stress along the peripheral slits easily as compared with the metal plate.

2. The heat sink according to claim 1 ,
wherein the heat sink having the other surface in contact with a cooling member, and
wherein an outer edge portion of the surface on the cooling member side of the metal plate is fixed to the cooling member by at least three fixing portions present in the outer edge portion, and
a portion excluding the fixing portions in the surface on the cooling member side of the metal plate is configured to be displaceable relative to the cooling member.

3. The heat sink according to claim 1 ,
wherein the metal plate is provided with a plurality of linear center slits disposed in the center portion, and
the plurality of center slits intersect with each other at a center of the center portion.

4. The heat sink according to claim 1 ,
