The semiconductor device includes: a base plate; an insulating substrate including an insulating layer and is provided with metal layers on an upper surface and a lower surface of the insulating layer; a bonding material that bonds an upper surface of the base plate and a lower surface of the metal layer on a lower surface-side of the insulating layer; a case member that is disposed on the upper surface of the base plate to surround the insulating substrate; and a pressing member that is disposed in a region surrounded by the base plate and the case member, and is in contact with the upper surface of the insulating substrate while straddling facing sides of the insulating substrate.

The power on wafer assembly can include: a compliant connector, an integrated circuit, a printed circuit board (PCB), a power component, and a set of compliant connectors. The power on wafer assembly can optionally include: a compression element, a cooling system, a set of mechanical clamping components, and a power source. However, the power on wafer assembly can additionally or alternately include any other suitable components.

A heatsink for distributing heatsink load across a processor module with separable input/output (I/O) connectors, comprising: a thermal conductor; and one or more pistons aligned with one or more separable interconnects of the processor module.

An electronic system includes two integrated circuit (IC) packages that are connected by a package to package (PP) connector. The PP connector may include cabling between a first cabling connector and a second cabling connector. The first cabling connector may be seated to a first carrier connector upon a first IC device carrier of the first IC device package. The second cabling connector may be seated to a second carrier connector upon a second IC device carrier of the second IC device package. The electronic system may further include a heat sink connected to the IC packages, to the first cabling connector, and to the second cabling connector. An IC device may route I/O data through the PP connector, effectively increasing the number of I/O routes.

A heat exchange assembly includes a thermal bridge including upper and lower bridge elements including upper and lower plates arranged in plate stacks. The lower plates include lower fin plates and lower spacer plates with lower ends configured to be mechanically and thermally coupled to the electrical component. The upper plates include upper fin plates and upper spacer plates with upper ends configured to be mechanically and thermally coupled to a heat exchanger. The upper and lower fin plates are interleaved. The heat exchange assembly includes installation spring elements coupled between the upper and lower plates and biased against the upper and lower plates during installation. The installation spring elements are removable after the upper and lower plates are coupled to the electrical component and the heat exchanger to remove the biasing force between the upper and lower plates.

An apparatus and system for temperature mitigation and, more particularly, a flexible heat spreader attachment that flexibly attaches to the periphery of a circuit board, allowing for its use with numerous circuit board shapes and sizes, including those of irregular shapes and sizes. The flexible heat spreader attachment includes a base plate, a heat spreader attached to the base plate, and four adjustable arms attached to the base plate, wherein each of the adjustable arms include circuit board hooks configured to attach to the periphery of a circuit board and maintain the heat spreader at a desired location on, and spaced from, the circuit board.

A heat sink having a flexible heat sink base is disclosed in order to flex the heat sink into contact with concave heat sources. Flexibility is achieved by providing a series of concentric grooves on the heat sink base on a surface opposite the surface contacting the heat source. A central cylinder is provided at the center of the concentric grooves. A biasing device, such as a spring, exerts a force on the central cylinder to flex the heat sink base.

This thermal conduction device intended to be installed between a first heat source part and a second heat dissipation part, comprises a male element comprising a protruding part relative to a base and a female element comprising an inner wall defining a housing for receiving the protruding part. The male element is configured to exert a radial force against the inner wall when the thermal conduction device is installed between the first heat source part and the second heat dissipation part so as to improve the thermal conduction between the male element and the female element.

A flexible heat transfer mechanism is provided for transferring heat from a heat generating component to a heatsink. The heat transfer mechanism may include a pedestal coupled to the heatsink via a heat transfer element. The heat transfer element may be a compliant member that is capable of flexing in a vertical direction such that the pedestal may be vertically displaced relative to the heatsink.

A multi integrated circuit (IC) chip package includes multiple IC chips, a carrier, and a lid. The IC chips may be connected to the carrier. Alternatively, each IC chip may be connected to an interposer and multiple interposers may be connected to the carrier. The carrier may be positioned against a carrier deck. The lid may be positioned relative to carrier by aligning one or more alignment features within the lid with one or more respective alignment features of the carrier deck. A compression fixture cover may contact the lid and exert a force toward the carrier deck, the lid be loaded against respective IC chips, and the lid may be loaded against the carrier. While under compression, thermal interface material between respective the lid and respective IC chips and seal band material between the lid and the carrier may be cured.
