Silicon-Based Heat Dissipation Device For Heat-Generating Devices

Abstract

Embodiments of a silicon-based heat dissipation device and a chip module assembly are described. An apparatus includes a chip module assembly that includes a silicon-based heat dissipation device and an extended device coupled to the silicon-based heat dissipation device. The silicon-based heat dissipation device includes a base portion having a first primary side and a second primary side opposite the first primary side. The silicon-based heat dissipation device also includes a protrusion portion on the first primary side of the base portion and protruding therefrom, with the protrusion portion having a plurality of fins. The extended device includes an extended layer. The second primary side of the base portion is configured to receive one or more heat-generating devices thereon such that at least a portion of heat generated by the one or more heat-generating devices is dissipated to the silicon-based heat-dissipation device by conduction.
