  • Patent number: 5293070
    Abstract: An integrated heat sink module includes a sinuously channeled base and a bonded top surface electrode that is dielectrically isolated from the base. The top surface electrode acts as a common modular electrode capable of conducting heat to an ultimate cooling medium with no intervening thermal barrier. Constrained copper technology (CCT) is employed to ensure that the relatively low effective temperature coefficient of expansion of the channel base is acquired by the channel cover, which is the dielectrically (but not thermally) insulated top surface, and that the common electrode is integrated with, by forming a part of, the fluid channel in the base. The heat sink weight is reduced significantly by the channeling, while use of the CCT technology ensures high reliability and integrity of the module.
