Abstract: In some embodiments, copper-elastomer hybrid thermal interface material to cool under-substrate silicon is presented. In this regard, an apparatus is introduced having a layer of copper, a layer of elastomer, and a layer of thin film thermal interface material between the copper and elastomer layers. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a cooling device may comprise first and second contact surfaces to transfer heat to a cooling medium. The cooling device may further comprise, in some embodiments, a first electrical component coupled to transmit heat to the first contact surface and a second electrical component coupled to transmit heat to the second contact surface.

Abstract: A computer system is described of the kind having a frame and a plurality of server unit subassemblies that are insertable into the frame. Each server unit subassembly has a chassis component which engages with a frame component on the frame. Heat can transfer from the chassis component to the frame component, but the server unit subassembly can still be moved out of the frame. In one embodiment, an air duct is located over a plurality of the frame components. Heat transfers from the frame components to air flowing through the duct. A modified capillary pumped loop is used to transfer heat from a processor of the server unit subassembly to thermal components on the frame.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing a coupon of material having aligned carbon nanotubes. The coupon having aligned carbon nanotubes may be used as a thermal interface device in a packaged integrated circuit device.

Abstract: An improved air-cooling system for high performance, high density electronic equipment comprises, in one embodiment, a single fan having a radial impeller, a baffle having an inlet portion to efficiently direct air into the fan intake, and a two-tiered outlet plenum to direct one airflow specifically at the highest heat-generating components and another airflow at all components. The air-cooling system is designed to provide maximum cooling for a low-height, high heat-generating electronics module such as a server. By using only a single fan that is matched to the low resistance airflow characteristics of the baffle, the air-cooling system offers significant advantages over multi-fan systems. Also described are a computer server and methods of making heat-dissipation equipment.
