Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for cooling a semiconductor heat source. In one embodiment a thermal spreader is provided and includes a substrate for supporting the semiconductor heat source and a heat sink coupled to the substrate. A channel is disposed between the heat sink and substrate. The channel has at least one wall defined by the heat sink. The surface area of the channel wall defined by the heat sink is about 10 to about 100 times the surface area of a bottom surface of the semiconductor heat source. A coolant, for example liquid metal, circulates within the channel.

Abstract: An apparatus for conducting heat from a computer component to a heat sink. The invention may include a thermal interface material (TIM). The invention may further include a seal or gasket that at least partially encloses the TIM. The gasket may facilitate retaining the TIM within its sidewall, and thus in place on or near a computer component. Generally, the gasket may be placed between the computer component (or a silicon board or other material upon which the computer component is located) and a heat sink. An insert may be placed within the gasket and define an aperture. The chip seats in the aperture and thus is spatially located with respect to the insert. The TIM abuts both the computer component and a heat sink. A desiccant may be located within the gasket and absorb any moisture diffusing or migrating through the gasket.
