Patent number: 11825592Abstract: An electronic device console includes a console body that houses a chip package, and a duct extending from the console body. An interior volume of the duct is in fluid communication with an interior volume of the console body. A first vent is at a distal end of the duct. A second vent is in a wall of the console body. The console may be oriented in a first orientation and a second orientation. The duct functions as a chimney for natural convection cooling of the chip package when the console is oriented in the first orientation. The console body functions as a chimney for natural convection cooling of the chip package when the console is oriented in the second orientation.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2020Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Kamal K.

Patent number: 9437515Abstract: Embodiments of the invention comprise a homogeneous heat spreading cap element in chip packages to facilitate better heat spreading and dissipation. The heat spreading cap comprises a single high-K graphite layer supported by a copper frame for increased stability and reduced thermal warpage during handling and operation while minimizing thermal penalty by reducing the amount of material having a relatively low heat conductivity that is needed in conventional heat spreading caps.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2015Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Evan G. Colgan, Taryn J. Davis, Chenzhou Lian, Yi Pan, Kamal K. Sikka, Jeffrey A. Zitz

Patent number: 8444043Abstract: An array of solder balls is attached to solder pads of one of a first substrate and a second substrate. After aligning the array of solder balls relative to solder pads of the other of the first substrate and the second substrate, a thermal-mass-increasing fixture is placed on a surface of the second substrate to form an assembly of the first substrate, the second substrate, and the array of the solder balls therebetween, and the thermal-mass-increasing fixture. The thermal-mass-increasing fixture is in physical contact with at least a surface of a periphery of the second substrate. The thermal-mass-increasing fixture reduces the cool-down rate of peripheral solder balls after a reflow step, thereby increasing time for deformation of peripheral solder balls during the cool-down and reducing the mechanical stress on the solder balls after the cool-down.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2012Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: William E.
