摘要: To provide a vapor chamber having excellent function of circulating a working liquid from an end portion to a center portion of a wick and enabling the prevention of the occurrence of dry-out. A vapor chamber includes a casing formed of a first sheet and a second sheet which face each other and whose outer peripheries are bonded to each other; a working liquid sealed in the casing; and a wick disposed on an inner wall surface of the first sheet or the second sheet. A wall portion is disposed around the wick as viewed in a top plan view of an inside of the casing.

摘要: Some embodiments of the invention include a thermal ground plane with a variable thickness vapor core. For example, a thermal ground plan may include a first casing and a second casing where the second casing and the first casing configured to enclose a working fluid. The thermal ground plane may also include an evaporator region disposed at least partially on at least one of the first casing and the second casing; a condenser region disposed at least partially on at least one of the first casing and the second casing; and a wicking layer disposed between the first casing and the second casing a vapor core defined at least partially by a gap between the first casing and the second casing. The thickness of the gap can vary across the first casing and the second casing.
