Abstract: An apparatus for cooling semiconductor elements uses heat exchangers to transfer heat from the semiconductor elements to a coolant flowing through the heat exchangers. A central body, made from a flexible material, is positioned between the heat exchangers and a manifold from which the coolant is provided. The central body includes a plurality of flexible runners fluidly coupled to each heat exchanger and the manifold to provide the coolant to the heat exchanger. Heat is transferred away from the semiconductor elements by the coolant and heated coolant is returned from the heat exchanger to the manifold. Each flexible runner is configured to flex to conform to a height of a respective semiconductor element and thereby apply a force to the heat exchanger to maintain contact with the semiconductor element.

Abstract: A transistor having a gate electrode with a T-shaped cross section is fabricated from a single layer of conductive material using an etching process. A two process etch is performed to form side walls having a notched profile. The notches allow source and drain regions to be implanted in a substrate and thermally processed without creating excessive overlap capacitance with the gate electrode. The reduction of overlap capacitance increases the operating performance of the transistor, including drive current.
