  • Patent number: 10278306
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cooling arrangement comprising a heat spreader (2) comprising a first surface (5), a second surface (8), at least one heat absorption chamber (9) and at least one heat dissipation chamber (10), the at least one heat absorption chamber (9) being in thermal contact with the first surface (5) and the at least one heat dissipation chamber (10) being in thermal contact with the second surface (8) and hydraulically coupled to the at least one heat absorption chamber (9). A cooling fluid (13) can be driven from the heat absorption chamber (9) to the heat dissipation chamber (10) using a plurality of flow patterns for cooling the first surface (5).
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20100290188
    Abstract: The invention relates to an integrated circuit stack (1) comprising a plurality of integrated circuit layers (2) and at least one cooling layer (3) arranged in a space between two circuit layers (2). The integrated circuit stack (1) is cooled using a cooling fluid (10) pumped through the cooling layer (3). The invention further relates to a method for optimizing a configuration of such an integrated circuit stack (1).

  • Patent number: 7547582
    Abstract: A surface adapting cap with an integrated adapting thermally conductive material on single and multi chip module provides reduced gap tolerance and hence better thermal performance of the semiconductor device which enhances the reliability of the semiconductor device. In one of the embodiments the cap is modified with an integrated, confined, and high thermal adaptive material. The membrane on this system is highly flexible. The cap is preassembled to the chip at a temperature above liquidus below curing temperature of the adaptive material. At this state, a hydrostatic pressure in the material develops due to the compression exerted from the cap to the chip and the confined volume of the buried material. This hydrostatic pressure causes the membrane to deflect and to adapt the warping and tolerances of the chip. Due to the adaptive surface the gap on each position of the chip and from chip to chip is same.
