    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of improving the thermal performance of processor-based devices. Such thermal performance improvement may include limiting the degree of tilt experienced by a semiconductor device as a thermal solution coupled to the semiconductor device is tightened to the substrate. Such thermal performance improvements may include increasing the available heat transfer area associated with a particular heat producing semiconductor device. Such thermal performance improvements may include thermally coupling one or more cool blocks thermally coupled to one or more remote heat-producing devices to a central cool block that may be cooled using a cooling medium or coupled to a central heat-producing semiconductor device.

    摘要: Reconfigurable cooling assemblies for thermal management of integrated circuitry are provided. Such assemblies can be modular and can permit or otherwise facilitate scalable thermal performance with respect to power dissipation demands. In some embodiments, a reconfigurable modular cooling assembly can be reversibly configured to adjust reversibly the cooling capacity of the assembly for a defined power dissipation requirement. A form factor of a reconfigurable modular cooling assembly can be based at least on the defined power dissipation requirement. In some embodiments, a reconfigurable modular cooling assembly can include a pedestal member and multiple attachment members that can be reversibly coupled to or reversibly decoupled from the pedestal based at least on a power dissipation condition and/or a change thereof in a dissipative electronic component included in a semiconductor package. Scalability of thermal performance of the reconfigurable modular cooling assembly can be achieved, at least in part, by the addition of attachment members.
