Abstract
Embodiments herein relate to systems, apparatuses, processing, and techniques related to patterning one or more sides of a thin film capacitor (TFC) sheet, where the TFC sheet has a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The first side and the second side of the TFC sheet are metal and are separated by a dielectric layer, and the patterned TFC sheet is to provide at least one of a capacitor or a routing feature on a first side of a substrate that has the first side and a second side opposite the first side.
Claims19
An apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of metallic constituents that form a two-phase metallic alloy (TPMA), wherein the metallic constituents are phase change materials (PCM);
- wherein the TPMA includes a ratio of quantities of each of the metallic constituents;
- wherein the TPMA has a liquidus temperature value and a solidus temperature value and has at least a liquid phase and at least a solid phase when a temperature value of the TPMA is between the liquidus temperature value and the solidus temperature value;
- and
- wherein the TPMA, when at a temperature between the liquidus temperature value and the solidus temperature value, is to facilitate thermal energy storage when coupled to a heat source.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- a system-on-a-chip (SoC);
- a heat sink thermally coupled with the SoC, wherein the heat sink comprises:
- a plurality of metallic constituents that form a two-phase metallic alloy (TPMA), wherein the metallic constituents are phase change materials (PCM);
- wherein the TPMA has a liquidus temperature value and a solidus temperature value and the TPMA has at least a liquid phase and at least a solid phase when a temperature value of the TPMA is between the liquidus temperature value and the solidus temperature value;
- wherein the TPMA includes a ratio of quantities of each of the metallic constituents;
- and
- wherein the TPMA, when at a temperature between the liquidus temperature value and the solidus temperature value, is to facilitate thermal energy storage of the SoC.
