[0057] In one embodiment, a nozzle hole (222) may be formed penetrating the second printed circuit board body (221). Through the nozzle hole (222), a thermal interface material (T) may be injected into the first internal space (S1). The thermal interface material (T) injected into the first internal space (S1) may proceed in the x-axis direction and / or the y-axis direction. A nozzle block (290) may be arranged in the nozzle hole (222).
[0058] In one embodiment, a guide hole (223) may be formed penetrating the second printed circuit board body (221).

According to this structure, the gap between the guide (250) and the second printed circuit board (220) can be more reliably eliminated.
[0067] In one embodiment, the guide (250) may have the same height as the interposer (230). The guide (250) may be provided in contact with the second printed circuit board (220). According to this structure, there may be no gap between the guide (250) and the second printed circuit board (220). The phenomenon of the thermal interface material (T) passing over the guide (250) may be prevented. For example, it should be noted that a minute gap may be provided between the guide (250) and the second printed circuit board (220).

The second component (270) may not be coated with a thermal interface material (T). The second component (270) may be located in an area of the first internal space (S1) that is not filled with the thermal interface material (T).
[0070] In one embodiment, the guide (250) can prevent the thermal interface material (T) from reaching the area where the second component (270) is located.
