Patents by Inventor Daniel Elftmann

Daniel Elftmann has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10147664
    Abstract: Chip packages and electronic devices are provided that include a heat sink flexibly interfaced with a die for enhanced temperature control. In one example, a solid state electronic assembly is provided that includes a first integrated circuit (IC) die mounted to a substrate and a heat sink mounted over the first IC die. The heat sink includes a thermally conductive plate and a first thermal carrier. The first thermal carrier has a first end mechanically fixed to the conductive plate. The first thermal carrier has a second end cantilevered from the conductive plate. The second end is in conductive contact with a top surface of the first IC die.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 24, 2017
    Date of Patent: December 4, 2018
    Assignee: XILINX, INC.
