Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device heat spreader from a unitary piece of metallic material. The metallic material is stamped to form a unitary heat spreader having an upper heat dissipation region, a lower substrate contact region, and supports connecting the upper heat dissipation region and the lower substrate contact region. A recess is formed within the supports and the upper and lower regions for receiving a semiconductor device.

Abstract: Described is an electronic device having a compliant fibrous interface. The interface comprises a free fiber tip structure having flocked thermally conductive fibers embedded in an adhesive in substantially vertical orientation with portions of the fibers extending out of the adhesive and an encapsulant between the portions of the fibers that extend out of the adhesive and the fiber's free tips.

Abstract: Described is a fibrous thermal interface. The interface comprises flocked thermally conductive fibers embedded in an adhesive in substantially vertical orientation with portions of the fibers extending out of the adhesive. An encapsulant fills spaces between the portions of the fibers that extend out of the adhesive and beneath the free tips of the fibers.

Abstract: A sputtering target comprising a body of metal such as aluminum and its alloy with an ultrafine grain size and small second phase. Also described is a method for making an ultra-fine grain sputtering target comprising melting, atomizing, and depositing atomized metal to form a workpiece, and fabricating the workpiece to form a sputtering target. A method is also disclosed that includes the steps of extruding a workpiece through a die having contiguous, transverse inlet and outlet channels of substantially identical cross section, and fabricating the extruded article into a sputtering target. The extrusion may be performed several times, producing grain size of still smaller size and controlled grain texture.
