A method includes attaching a permeable plate to a metal lid, with the permeable plate including a metallic material, and dispensing a liquid-metal-comprising media to a first package component. The first package component is over and bonded to a second package component. The liquid-metal-comprising media includes a liquid metal therein. The method further includes attaching the metal lid to the second package component. During the attaching, the liquid-metal-comprising media migrates into the permeable plate to form a composite thermal interface material.

A component system including at least two components, between which a cavity to be filled is formed, wherein the cavity has a feed section, and a filling device for the filling of the cavity via a feed element, which can be introduced, before the filling procedure into the feed section. The feed element has a closure and sealing element, which is configured to close and seal the feed section in a closure position during the filling procedure. The closure and sealing element is configured as an elastically expandable body, which can change between the closure position and a release position. During an introduction of the feed element into the feed section, the closure and sealing element is in the release position, and can then be transferred into the closure position.

An integrated circuit (IC) package comprising a die having a front side and a back side. A solder thermal interface material (STIM) comprising a first metal is over the backside. The TIM has a thermal conductivity of not less than 40 W/mK; and a die backside material (DBM) comprising a second metal over the STIM, wherein the DBM has a CTE of not less than 1810.sup.6 m/mK, wherein an interface between the STIM and the DBM comprises at least one intermetallic compound (IMC) of the first metal and the second metal.

A semiconductor package includes a flip chip die communicatively coupled to a substrate. A lid is also coupled to the substrate and covers the flip chip die. A non-curing thermal conductive liquid coolant fills a volume defined by the lid and is used to dissipate heat that is generated by the flip chip die. The non-curing thermal conductive liquid coolant may include nanometer-sized particles that enhance the heat dissipation properties of the non-curing thermal conductive liquid coolant. The semiconductor package also may include a micro-rotator that causes the non-curing thermal conductive liquid coolant to circulate within the volume when a temperature of the flip chip die exceeds a temperature threshold.
