  • Patent number: 10104759
    Abstract: Methods for producing high thermal performance microelectronic modules containing sinter-bonded heat dissipation structures. In one embodiment, the method includes embedding a sinter-bonded heat dissipation structure in a module substrate. The step of embedding may entail applying a sinter precursor material containing metal particles into a cavity provided in the module substrate, and subsequently sintering the sinter precursor material at a maximum processing temperature less than a melt point of the metal particles to produce a sintered metal body bonded to the module substrate. A microelectronic device and a heatsink are then attached to the module substrate before, after, or concurrent with sintering such that the heatsink is thermally coupled to the microelectronic device through the sinter-bonded heat dissipation structure. In certain embodiments, the microelectronic device may be bonded to the module substrate at a location overlying the thermally-conductive structure.
