Techniques and mechanisms for enabling a flow of fluid through microchannels of a fluid conduit, which is thermally coupled to cool integrated circuitry. In an embodiment, sidewall structures of the fluid conduit extend from a base structure to form at least in part microchannels, which extend along the base structure. The sidewall structures accommodate a flow of a coolant fluid through the fluid conduit, where the flow in turn facilitates conduction of heat, which has been transferred to the fluid conduit from the integrated circuitry. The sidewall structures comprise pores, which extend through a corresponding sidewall structure between two microchannel regions. In another embodiment, a sidewall structure provides a gradient of average porosity along one or more dimensions.
