AI Technical Summary
Existing thermal interface materials (TIMs) for system-on-chips (SOCs) face challenges with thermal expansion, leading to stress, cracking, and delamination when rigid materials like metallic TIMs are used, especially in larger SOCs, due to differences in thermal expansion coefficients between the SOC, TIM, and heatsink or cooling manifold.
A cooling device for SOCs comprising a plurality of cooling units spaced apart and connected by a bridge, allowing independent movement, with rigid TIMs like metallic thermal interface materials, and a flexible seal to manage thermal expansion, combined with a coolant distribution manifold for efficient heat transfer.
The solution effectively manages thermal expansion stresses, enabling the use of high thermal conductivity TIMs, reducing the risk of cracking and delamination, and enhancing heat dissipation efficiency through independent movement of cooling units and efficient coolant distribution.
