摘要： A heat sink for cooling a heat-generating device includes a base and a cooling section coupled thereto for cooling the device. The cooling section includes a plurality of flow tubes, each flow tube having an inlet, an outlet, and a bounding wall that defines a closed fluid flow path from the inlet to the outlet. Each of the flow tubes includes a central axis that is substantially parallel to a reference plane of the heat-generating device. The flow tubes may be arranged in a layered stack and include a bounding wall that has a thickness that decreases with increasing distance in the layered stack. The flow tubes may also include a cross-sectional area that decreases with increasing distance in the layered stack. Furthermore, the bounding wall of the flow tubes may have a non-planar configuration in a direction generally parallel to the central axis.

摘要： Methods for making, and structures so made for producing integrated circuit (IC) chip packages without forming micro solder balls. In one embodiment, a method may include placing a solid grid made from an organic material between the IC chip and the substrate. The grid provides a physical barrier between each of a plurality of Controlled Collapse Chip Connections, and thereby prevents the formation of micro solder balls between them, thus improving chip performance and reliability.
