  • Apparatus and method for passive cooling of electronic devices
    Patent number: 10366817
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for cooling an electronic device assembly having a heat producing are described. An electronic device assembly includes a heat dissipation member and a dielectric two-phase heat transfer device. The dielectric heat transfer device has an evaporator region thermally attached to a hot region of the heat producing component and a condenser region thermally attached to the heat dissipation member. The dielectric two-phase heat transfer device is fabricated from a dielectric material.
    Type: Grant
