  • Patent number: 9721871
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems associated with a heat exchanger for cooling an IC package are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a heat exchanger may include a base plate having a bottom side to be thermally coupled to the IC package, and a fin side, wherein the fin side is to include a plurality of fins to dissipate thermal energy emanated from the IC package. The heat exchanger may further include a manifold structure disposed on top of the base plate, having one or more layers, to regulate a coolant fluid flow to cool the plurality of fins, wherein the one or more layers are to include a plurality of channels and ports complementarily organized to distribute the coolant fluid flow to the plurality of fins tailored to a thermal energy emanation pattern of the integrated circuit package. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Patent number: 9646910
    Abstract: In at least some embodiments, an electronic package to maximize heat transfer comprises a plurality of components on a substrate. A stiffener plate is installed over the components. The stiffener plate has openings to expose the components. A plurality of individual integrated heat spreaders are installed within the openings over the components. A first thermal interface material layer (TIM1) is deposited between the components and the plurality of individual integrated heat spreaders. In at least some embodiments, the thickness of the TIM1 is minimized for the components.

  • Publication number: 20150170989
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe thermal management solutions for multichip package assemblies and methods of fabricating multichip package assemblies utilizing the thermal management solutions. These embodiments include multi-level heat spreaders and alleviate issues caused by dimensional variability in die-packages utilized in multichip package assemblies. In one embodiment a package heat spreader is thermally coupled to a first die-package and die-package heat spreader. The die-package heat spreader is thermally coupled to a second die-package and provides a thermal pathway to conduct heat from the second die-package to the package heat spreader. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
