    Abstract: Integrated circuit IC package with one or more IC dies including solder features that are thermally coupled to the IC. The thermally coupled solder features (e.g., bumps) may be electrically insulated from solder features electrically coupled to the IC, but interconnected with each other by one or more metallization layers within a plane of the IC package. An in-plane interconnected network of thermal solder features may improve lateral heat transfer, for example spreading heat from one or more hotspots on the IC die. An under-bump metallization (UBM) may interconnect two or more thermal solder features. A through-substrate via (TSV) metallization may interconnect two or more thermal solder features. A stack of IC dies may include thermal solder features interconnected by metallization within one or more planes of the stack.

    Abstract: A thermal interface structure for facilitating heat transfer from an integrated circuit device to a heat dissipation device may be fabricated to include at least one conductive wire structure wherein each conductive wire structure includes a conductive wire having a first end, a first barrier layer adjacent the first end of the conductive wire, and a first solder structure adjacent the first barrier layer. The thermal interface structure may further include an encapsulation material substantially encapsulating each conductive wire structure and a first solder layer abutting the encapsulation material and abutting the first solder structure of each conductive wire structure.

    Abstract: An integrated heat spreader includes channel structures assembled in a frame. Each channel structure is independent of the other, and can be used to dissipate heat from integrated circuitry at a specific location within a package, and without allowing heat from that particular location to propagate to integrated circuitry at other locations within the package. Each channel structure can be implemented with metal having a high thermal conductivity (e.g., copper). The channel structures can be used in conjunction with liquid-based cooling or air-based cooling. The frame can be implemented with low thermal conductivity molding compound or plastic so the heat transfer from one channel structure to another is inhibited. The channel structures can have different configurations (e.g., straight, pillars, and/or pin fins) to provide different rates of flow, mixing, and/or cooling. The flow direction of air or liquid for the channel structures can be the same (parallel) or different (counter).

    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include electronic packages and thermal solutions for such electronic packages. In an embodiment, an electronic package comprises, a package substrate with a first surface, a second surface opposite from the first surface, and a sidewall surface connecting the first surface to the second surface. In an embodiment, the electronic package further comprises a heat spreader, where a first portion of the heat spreader is attached to the first surface of the package substrate and a second portion of the heat spreader is attached to the second surface of the package substrate. In an embodiment, a third portion of the heat spreader adjacent to the sidewall surface of the package substrate connects the first portion of the heat spreader to the second portion of the heat spreader.
