  • Publication number: 20190045666
    Abstract: Electronic device heat transfer technology is disclosed. In an example, an electronic device package can include a substrate. The electronic device package can also include a heat transfer component. The electronic device package can further include a heat-generating electronic component coupled to the substrate between the substrate and the heat transfer component. The electronic device package can also include a viscous thermal interface material (TIM) providing a heat transfer pathway between the electronic component and the heat transfer component. In addition, the electronic device package can include a barrier about at least a portion of a periphery of the viscous TIM to maintain the viscous TIM within a confined location in proximity to the electronic component. The TIM is uninterrupted by the barrier within the periphery.

  • Patent number: 9953909
    Abstract: Embodiments herein may relate to an electronic device that includes a board. The electronic device may include a device physically coupled with the board by an anchoring pin. The electronic device may further include a plurality of ball grid array (BGA) solder joints coupled with the device. For example, the BGA solder joints may electrically and/or communicatively couple one or more pins of the device with the board. The BGA solder joints may have a shape that is different than the anchoring pin. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
