摘要:
Methods, apparatus and assemblies for enhancing heat transfer in electronic components using a flexible thermal pillow. The flexible thermal pillow has a thermally conductive material sealed between top and bottom conductive layers, with the bottom layer having a flexible reservoir residing on opposing sides of a central portion of the pillow that has a gap. The pillow may have roughened internal surfaces to increase an internal surface area within the pillow for enhanced heat dissipation. In an electronic assembly, the central portion of the pillow resides between a heat sink and heat-generating component for the thermal coupling there-between. During thermal cycling, the flexible reservoir of the pillow expands to retain thermally conductive material extruded from the gap, and then contracts to force such extruded material back into the gap. An external pressure source may contact the pillow for further forcing the extruded thermally conductive material back into the gap.

A method for forming a heat spreading apparatus for semiconductor devices is disclosed. The method includes extruding a frame material to form multiple individual cells including fillable openings within the frame material; filling a first group of the individual cells with one or more high thermal conductivity materials; filling at least a second group of the individual cells with one or more materials of lower thermal conductivity than in the first group of the individual cells; and implementing a reflowing process following filling the multiple individual cells so as to infiltrate the materials within the individual cells, wherein defined walls of the frame material remain following the reflowing.

The present invention relates generally to a new structure and a method for reducing the cost of producing known good die (KGD). More particularly, the invention encompasses a structure and a method that uses a substrate having solder wettable pads, a chip with attached solder balls, and a thin non-conductive interposer that is assembled between the chip and the substrate. The interposer reduces the cross section of the solder connections from the chip to the substrate where the solder passes through (the holes in) the interposer. This reduced cross-sectional area of the solder connection creates a weak point which allows the chip to be easily sheared off of the substrate after a burn-in and test process. The preferred chips for this invention are flip chips.

Integrated circuit chip packaging modules and lid structures having improved heat dissipation performance are characterized by a customized lid understructure which enables a reduction in the amount of compliant thermally conductive material in the primary heat dissipation path. The lid structures and modules are made by processes wherein the lid understructure is customized for the chip(s) to be housed. The customization is achieved by the use of shims and a deformable lid understructure.

A multi-chip module and heat-sink cap assembly and method of fabrication, which provides sufficient cooling for higher power density chips. The heat-sink cap has heat-sink columns disposed over each chip on a substrate. The heat-sink columns are interconnected by flexible members to provide a unitary cover. Thin film metallization of at least a portion of the mating surfaces of the substrate, chips and heat-sink column permits soldering of the cap to the chips and substrate to form the package which is a mechanically stable structure with no degradation of interconnection fatigue life due to thermal cycling of the assembly when in use.

The present invention relates generally to a new scheme of providing a seal band for semi-conductor substrates and chip carriers. More particularly, the invention encompasses a structure and a method that uses a multi-layer metallic seal to provide protection to chips on a chip carrier. This multi-layer metal seal provides both enhanced hermeticity lifetime and environmental protection. For the preferred embodiment the multi-layer metallic seal band is a three layer, solder sandwich structure which is used to create a low cost, high reliability, hermetic seal for the module. This solder sandwich has a high melting temperature thick solder inner core, and lower melting point thin interconnecting solder layers, where the thin interconnecting solder layers may have similar or different melting points.

A target ring for a conventional eye dropper bottle having an upper conical nozzle received in a neck portion of the bottle and having an central orifice extending through the nozzle to be in communication with the interior of the bottle; comprising a contrasting target ring applied to a portion of the nozzle wherein the contrasting ring is outwardly concentric to the orifice thereby positioning the orifice in the center of the target.
摘要:
A method, system, and apparatus for cooling one or more devices through use of a cooling plate. An example system includes multiple heat generating devices coupled to a cooling plate, each through an individual thermal interface unit. The thermal interface unit includes a compressible solid pad with at least one surface having a plurality of projections carrying a flowable material. The thermal interface units are pressed between the heat generating devices and the cooling plate so that the flowable material is completely enclosed.
