Abstract:
An embodiment includes an apparatus comprising: a semiconductor die; package molding that is molded onto and conformal with a first die surface of the semiconductor die and at least two sidewalls of the semiconductor die, the package molding including: (a)(i) a first surface contacting the semiconductor die, (a)(ii) a second surface opposite the first surface, and (a)(iii) an aperture that extends from the first surface to the second surface; and a polymer substantially filling the aperture; wherein the package molding includes a first thermal conductivity (watts per meter kelvin (W/(m•K)) and the polymer includes a second thermal conductivity that is greater than the first thermal conductivity. Other embodiments are described herein.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe an energy storage material for thermal management and associated techniques and configurations. In one embodiment, an energy storage material may include an organic matrix and a solid-solid phase change material dispersed in the organic matrix, the solid-solid phase change material to change crystalline structure and absorb heat while remaining a solid at a threshold temperature associated with operation of an integrated circuit (IC) die. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
Embodiments are generally directed to pressure and load measurement for silicon die thermal solution attachment. An embodiment of a calibration machine includes: a base; a first post and a second post, a first end of each of the posts being coupled with the base; a set of fixtures, a first fixture being coupled with the first post and second post and a second fixture being moveable coupled with the first post and the second post; an actuator, the actuator being coupled with the first fixture and being operable to provide force on the second fixture; a load cell coupled with the base; and one or more calibration stages on the load cell and below the set of fixtures.
Abstract:
An example includes a die package including a microelectronic die having a lower die surface, an upper die surface parallel to the lower die surface, and a die side, the microelectronic die including an active region and an inactive region. The example optionally includes a heat spreader having a lower heat spreader surface, an upper heat spreader surface parallel to the lower heat spreader surface, and at least one heat spreader side, the heat spreader disposed on the upper surface of the microelectronic die in thermal communication with the inactive region of the die and electrically insulated from the active region. The example optionally includes an encapsulation material encapsulating the die side and the heat spreader side and lower heat spreader surface, the encapsulation material including a lower surface substantially parallel to the die lower surface and an upper surface substantially parallel to the die upper surface.
