Abstract: An electronic package incorporating a heat-generating element which is thermally coupled to a heat-sinking member, through the utilization of a predetermined thermally conductive material, and wherein all of these components are placed in compression during package operation so as to resultingly improve the thermal performance of the electronic package. A method is set forth of improving the thermal performance of an electronic package through the intermediary of compressive forces being generated between the package components during package operation.
