    Abstract: A semiconductor component system includes a motherboard and a cooling system mounted to the motherboard. The cooling system includes sidewalls projecting from the motherboard. A sub-motherboard extends between the sidewalls and is spaced apart from the motherboard. The sidewalls and the sub-motherboard define a cooling channel over the motherboard. A connector is attached to the sub-motherboard and is configured to receive a semiconductor device daughterboard. The connector has contacts to electrically couple the semiconductor device daughterboard to the sub-motherboard.

    Abstract: Semiconductor device assemblies are provided with a package substrate including one or more layers of thermally conductive material configured to conduct heat generated by one or more of semiconductor dies of the assemblies laterally outward towards an outer edge of the assembly. The layer of thermally conductive material can comprise one or more allotropes of carbon, such as diamond, graphene, graphite, carbon nanotubes, or a combination thereof. The layer of thermally conductive material can be provided via deposition (e.g., sputtering, PVD, CVD, or ALD), via adhering a film comprising the layer of thermally conductive material to an outer surface of the package substrate, or via embedding a film comprising the layer of thermally conductive material to within the package substrate.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes an array of flexible connectors configured to mitigate thermomechanical stresses. In one embodiment, a semiconductor assembly includes a substrate coupled to an array of flexible connectors. Each flexible connector can be transformed between a resting configuration and a loaded configuration. Each flexible connector includes a conductive wire electrically coupled to the substrate and a support material at least partially surrounding the conductive wire. The conductive wire has a first shape when the flexible connector is in the resting configuration and a second, different shape when the flexible connector is in the loaded configuration. The first shape includes at least two apices spaced apart from each other in a vertical dimension by a first distance, and the second shape includes the two apices spaced apart from each other in the vertical dimension by a second distance different than the first distance.
