摘要:
Embedded air core inductors are described for integrated circuit package substrates. The substrates have a thermal conductor for the inductors. One example includes a package substrate to carry an integrated circuit die, the package substrate having a plurality of top side pads to connect to the die on a top side and a plurality of bottom side pads to connect to an external component on a bottom side. An inductor is embedded within the package substrate, a thermal conductor is embedded within the package substrate adjacent to the inductor to conduct heat away from the inductor, and a heat sink is thermally coupled to the thermal conductor to receive the heat from the conductor.
摘要:
An electronic assembly including a die, having an integrated circuit formed therein, a thermally conductive heat spreader, and indium located between the die and the heat spreader, is described. The heat spreader has a layer of nickel. A gold layer is formed on the nickel layer, and provides better wetting of indium than nickel. A better structural connection between the indium and the heat spreader is provided, especially during thermal cycling.

An electronic assembly including a die (40), having an integrated circuit formed therein, a thermally conductive heat spreader (16), and indium (14) located between the die and the heat spreader, is described. The heat spreader (16) has a layer of nickel (22). A gold layer (24) is formed on the nickel layer (22), and provides better wetting of indium than nickel. A better structural connection between the indium (14) and the heat spreader (16) is provided, especially during thermal cycling.
摘要:
A device and method for designing and manufacturing an integrated heat spreader so that the integrated heat spreader will have a flat surface on which to mount a heat sink after being assembled into a package and exposed to the heat of a die. This device and method for designing and manufacturing an integrated heat spreader would generate a heat spreader that would be built compensate for deformations resulting from (1) physical manipulation during assembly (2) thermal gradients during operation and (3) differing rates of expansion and contraction of the package materials coupled with multiple package assembly steps at elevated temperatures so that one surface of the integrated heat spreader would have a flat shape.
