  • Patent number: 9342121
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide for non interruptive fluid cooling of an electronic enclosure. One or more electronic component packages may be removable from a circuit card having a fluid flow system. When installed, the electronic component packages are coincident to and in a thermal relationship with the fluid flow system. If a particular electronic component package becomes non-functional, it may be removed from the electronic enclosure without affecting either the fluid flow system or other neighboring electronic component packages.

  • Patent number: 9111925
    Abstract: An enhanced 3D integration structure comprises a logic microprocessor chip bonded to a collection of vertically stacked memory slices and an optional set of outer vertical slices comprising optoelectronic devices. Such a device enables both high memory content in close proximity to the logic circuits and a high bandwidth for logic to memory communication. Additionally, the provision of optoelectronic devices in the outer slices of the vertical slice stack enables high bandwidth direct communication between logic processor chips on adjacent enhanced 3D modules mounted next to each other or on adjacent packaging substrates. A method to fabricate such structures comprises using a template assembly which enables wafer format processing of vertical slice stacks.

  • Patent number: 8772927
    Abstract: Semiconductor package structures are provided which are designed to have liquid coolers integrally packaged with first level chip modules. In particular, apparatus for integrally packaging a liquid cooler device within a first level chip package structure include structures in which a liquid cooler device is thermally coupled directly to the back side of an integrated circuit chip flip-chip mounted on flexible chip carrier substrate. The liquid cooler device is mechanically coupled to the package substrate through a metallic stiffener structure that is bonded to the flexible package substrate to provide mechanical rigidity to the flexible package substrate.
