    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) socket comprising a housing with a land side, an opposing die side, and sidewalls around a perimeter of the housing. The housing comprises a first dielectric. A plurality of socket pins extends from the land side of the housing through socket pin holes in the housing over the die side of the housing. A second dielectric is within the interstitial regions between the socket pins and sidewalls of the socket pin holes. A frame structure extends around at least a portion of the perimeter of the housing, and a mesh structure is embedded within the first dielectric. The mesh structure has plurality of mesh filaments extending between the plurality of socket pin holes and coupled to the frame 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: A surplus liquid reservoir attached to a vapor chamber integrated heat spreader (IHS) and placed near a heat source on a heterogenous die. The vapor chamber integrated heat spreader (IHS) includes a main heat transfer portion that encloses a vapor channel, a first wick material, and a first working fluid. The surplus liquid reservoir is provided by a reservoir leg mechanically coupled, on a first side, to the main heat transfer portion, the reservoir leg has a reservoir portion with a second working fluid and second wick material that is in contact with the first wick material. The surplus liquid reservoir can either support a PL2 that is higher than a given vapor chamber Qmax for a significantly long time or increase the PL2 value to a significantly higher value.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques and configurations for inspection of a package assembly with a thermal solution, in accordance with some embodiments. In embodiments, an apparatus for inspection of a package assembly with a thermal solution may include a first fixture to house the package assembly on the apparatus, and a second fixture to house at least a portion of a thermal solution that is to be disposed on top of the package assembly. The apparatus may further include a load actuator, to apply a load to a die of the package assembly, via the thermal solution, and a plurality of sensors disposed around the thermal solution and the package assembly, to perform in situ thermal and/or mechanical measurements associated with the application of the load to the die of the package assembly. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
