    Abstract: An integrated circuit package that includes a liquid phase thermal interface material (TIM) is described. The package may include any number of die. The liquid phase TIM can be sealed in a chamber between a die and an integrated heat spreader and bounded on the sides by a perimeter layer. The liquid phase TIM can be fixed in place or circulated, depending on application. A thermal conductivity of the liquid phase TIM can be at least 15 Watts/meter-Kelvin, according to some embodiments. A liquid phase TIM eliminates failure mechanisms present in solid phase TIMs, such as cracking due to warpage and uncontained flow out of the module.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a mmWave transceiver and methods of forming such devices. In an embodiment, the mmWave transceiver includes an RF module. The RF module may include a package substrate, a plurality of antennas formed on the package substrate, and a die attached to a surface of the package substrate. In an embodiment, the mmWave transceiver may also include a mainboard mounted to the RF module with one or more solder balls. In an embodiment, a thermal feature is embedded within the mainboard, and the thermal feature is separated from the die by a thermal interface material (TIM) layer. According to an embodiment, the thermal features are slugs and/or vias. In an embodiment, the die compresses the TIM layer resulting in a TIM layer with minimal thickness.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit assembly may be formed having a substrate core, wherein the substrate core includes at least one heat transfer fluid channel formed therein, a first build-up layer formed on a first surface of the substrate core, and a second build-up layer formed on a second surface of the substrate core, and methods of fabricating the same. In embodiments of the present description, the integrated circuit structure may include at least one integrated circuit device formed within at least one of the first build-up layer and the second build-up layer. The embodiments of the present description allow for cooling within the substrate, which may significantly reduce thermal damage to the components of the substrate and/or integrated circuit devices within the substrate.
