Abstract: A method of managing thermal warpage of a laminate which includes: assembling a stiffener and an adhesive on the laminate, the stiffener being a material that has a higher modulus of elasticity than the laminate; applying a force to deform the laminate a predetermined amount; heating the laminate, stiffener and adhesive to a predetermined temperature at which the adhesive cures to bond the stiffener to the laminate; cooling the laminate, stiffener and adhesive to a temperature below the predetermined temperature, the laminate maintaining its deformed shape.

Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) chip module includes a carrier, a stiffening frame, an IC chip, and a first directional heat spreader. A second directional heat spreader may further be arranged orthogonal to the first directional heat spreader. The carrier has a top surface and a bottom surface configured to be electrically connected to a motherboard. The stiffening frame includes an opening that accepts the IC chip and may be attached to the top surface of the carrier. The IC chip is concentrically arranged within the opening of the stiffening frame. The first directional heat spreader is attached to the stiffening frame and to the IC chip and generally removes heat in a first opposing bivector direction. When included in the IC chip module, the second directional heat spreader is attached to the stiffening frame and to the first directional heat spreader and generally removes heat in a second opposing bivector direction orthogonal to the first opposing bivector direction.

Abstract: Embodiments provide for a method for pluggable Land Grid Array (LGA) socket for high density interconnects. A method includes inserting an electrical-to-optical transceiver into an opening of a channel housing that is positioned above a land grid array connector located on an electrical package. After the electrical-to-optical transceiver is inserted into the channel housing, a tapered opening remains between an upper portion of the channel housing above the electrical-to-optical transceiver, wherein a gap of the tapered opening decreases progressively starting from the opening. The method includes inserting a conductive wedge into the gap of the tapered opening prior to communications through the electrical-to-optical transceiver between a component on the electrical package and a component external to the electrical package.
