1. A heat sink comprising:
an inlet part through which a refrigerant is introduced;
an outlet part through which the refrigerant received from the inlet part is discharged; and
a plurality of flow channels disposed between the inlet part and the outlet part, and configured to allow the refrigerant to flow,
wherein the plurality of flow channels is arranged to have a spirally bent shape, and
a plurality of parts of the plurality of flow channels communicate with each other to allow the refrigerant to circulate between the plurality of the flow channels,
wherein an overall shape of the plurality of bent flow channels is formed in a shape of a circle, the inlet part is disposed on one side of the circle, and the outlet part is disposed on another side of the circle, and
the plurality of flow channels is extended from the inlet part to a central part of the circle, bent at the central part of the circle, and extended from the central part toward the outlet part
wherein the heat sink comprises a first communication area where parts of a first flow channel and a second flow channel, which are bent at the central part of the circle, communicate with each other, and a refrigerant flowing through the first flow channel and a refrigerant flowing through the second flow channel are sharable with each other in the heat sink,
wherein the heat sink comprises a plurality of second communication areas which is formed between the first flow channel and the second flow channel and which is spaced apart by a predetermined distance from the inlet part to the outlet part.
