A heat sink includes a plurality of fins. The fins are formed to serve as partition walls of flow paths of a coolant. The fins are formed such that the coolant flows along a surface thereof. A merge space is formed to allow the coolant in the flow paths separated by the fins to merge. The merge space is formed in the flow paths formed by the fins.
