Abstract: A multi-chip unit suitable for chip-level packaging may include multiple IC chips that are interconnected through a metal redistribution structure, and that are directly bonded to an integrated heat spreader. Bonding of the integrated heat spreader to the multiple IC chips may be direct so that no thermal interface material (TIM) is needed, resulting in a reduced bond line thickness (BLT) and lower thermal resistance. The integrated heat spreader may further serve as a structural member of the multi-chip unit, allowing a second side of the redistribution structure to be further interconnected to a host by solder interconnects. The redistribution structure may be fabricated on a sacrificial interposer that may facilitate planarizing IC chips of differing thickness prior to bonding the heat spreader. The sacrificial interposer may be removed to expose the RDL for further interconnection to a substrate without the use of through-substrate vias.

Abstract: IC package including a material preform comprising graphite. The material preform may have a thermal conductivity higher than that of other materials in the package and may therefore mitigate the formation of hot spots within an IC die during device operation. The preform may have high electrical conductivity suitable for EMI shielding. The preform may comprise a graphite sheet that can be adhered to a package assembly with an electrically conductive adhesive, applied, for example over an IC die surface and a surrounding package dielectric material. Electrical interconnects of the package may be coupled to the graphite sheet as an EMI shield. The package preform may be grounded to a reference potential through electrical interconnects of the package, which may be further coupled to a system-level ground plane. System-level thermal solutions may interface with the package-level graphite sheet.

Abstract: A heat exchange module, comprising an array of microchannels, where the array of microchannels extends in a first direction, and are separated from one another by a first sidewall. The array of microchannels is over a cold plate. A first array of fluid distribution channels is stacked over the array of microchannels and extend in a second direction that is substantially orthogonal to the first direction. The first array of fluid distribution channels extends from the first manifold and terminate between a first manifold and a second manifold. A second array of fluid distribution channels is stacked over the array of microchannels. The first array of fluid distribution channels and the second array of the fluid distribution channels are fluidically coupled to the microchannel array. A wall extends into the microchannel array below a second sidewall separating ones of the first array and ones of the second array of fluid distribution channels.
