  • Publication number: 20190385929
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a vapor chamber lid for high power applications such as chip-on-wafer-on-substrate (CoWoS) applications using high performance processors (e.g., graphics processing unit (GPU)) and methods of manufacturing the same. The vapor chamber lid provides a thermal solution which enhances the thermal performance of a package with multiple chips. The vapor chamber lid improves hot spot dissipation in high performance chips, for example, at the three-dimensional (3D-IC) packaging level.

  • Patent number: 7248477
    Abstract: A fan-shaped dissipating device, which is assembled on a chip of an erect PCB, has a conductive board, and a plurality of fins. The fins are respectively connected on an outside surface of the conductive board. Each of the fins has a top end and a bottom end. An interval between each two adjacent top ends of the fins is larger that between each two adjacent bottom ends of the fins. The fins are arranged in a radiating manner toward two sides from the bottom ends to the upper ends, therefore reducing the density of the accumulated air between the top ends of the fins because of rising hot air, and providing a better dissipating effect.

  • Patent number: 7196904
    Abstract: An IC package with an implanted heat-dissipation fin is introduced. The IC package provides a plastic package to seal an IC chip. One end of the heat-dissipation fin is implanted inside the plastic package, and another end is left outsides for directly heat-exchanging with a surrounding heat-transfer media. By providing the implanted heat-dissipation fin, a more efficient and broader heat-dissipation path for the IC package can be established so that the total heat dissipation of the IC package can be enhanced.

  • Publication number: 20060104034
    Abstract: A heat-dissipating device has multiple conduction paths, and is especially adapted to a package with MPMs (Multiple Packaging Modules). The package is mounted on one side of a PCB. The heat-dissipating device has a first heat-dissipating unit, a second heat-dissipating unit, and a thermal bridge unit. The first heat-dissipating unit is contacted with a first heat source of the package element. The second heat-dissipating unit penetrates through the PCB and contacts with a second heat source of the package element. The thermal bridge unit penetrates through the PCB and connects the first heat-dissipating unit and the second heat-dissipating unit.

  • Publication number: 20060067051
    Abstract: A lateral airflow fan-sink for electronic devices is introduced to comprise a heat-fin with inter-fin slots and a plurality of axial fans surrounding the heat-fin. The axial fans are mounted individually at ventilating sides of the heat-fin for generating respective forced flow wiping through the inter-fin slots. Thereby, overall heat-dissipation efficiency of the fan-sink can be improved and operational jeopardy from breakdown of all axial fans can be totally removed.

  • Patent number: 6914782
    Abstract: A multi-opening heat-dissipation device for high-power electronic components includes a body, an extension extended from the body, and a radial fan. The radial fan is mounted on a bottom aperture of the body. The body further comprises a primary opening on a first face and a cavity communicating between the bottom aperture and the primary opening as a wind path. The body further includes at least one additional opening on a second face of the body. The at least one additional comprises a second opening faces a circuit board on which a high-power electronic component is mounted. The cool air can flow to at least one of the topside and bottom side of the circuit board through the second opening and cool the high-power electronic components directly.
