Abstract
A heat distribution device comprising a main body, a recessed cavity positioned within the main body, the recessed cavity having an interior surface, a peripheral wall extending around and defining the interior surface, and a central point within the recessed cavity. A plurality of ribs may extend away from the interior surface of the recessed cavity. The plurality of ribs may be concentrically arranged around the central point and define a plurality of channels therebetween. Each of the plurality of ribs may have a top surface that slopes toward or away from the central point. The plurality of ribs may be arranged so that the top surfaces of the plurality of ribs collectively form a collective sloped surface within the heat distribution device.
Claims20
A heat distribution device comprising:
- a main body;
- a recessed cavity positioned within the main body, the recessed cavity having an interior surface, a peripheral wall extending around and defining the interior surface, and a central point within the recessed cavity;
- and
- a plurality of ribs extending away from the interior surface of the recessed cavity, the plurality of ribs concentrically arranged around the central point and defining a plurality of channels therebetween, each of the plurality of ribs having a top surface sloping toward or away from the central point,
- wherein the plurality of ribs are arranged so that the top surfaces of the plurality of ribs collectively form a collective sloped surface within the heat distribution device.
A heat distribution device comprising:
- a main body having a central portion therein;
- and
- a plurality of ribs concentrically arranged around the central portion and defining a plurality of channels therebetween, each of the plurality of ribs having a top surface sloping toward the central portion,
- wherein the plurality of ribs are arranged so that the top surfaces of the plurality of ribs collectively form a collective sloped surface within the heat distribution device.
A method of manufacturing a microelectronic assembly comprising:
- providing a heat distribution device comprising:
- a main body having an interior surface and a central portion therein;
- and
- a plurality of ribs concentrically arranged around the central portion and defining a plurality of channels therebetween, each of the plurality of ribs having a top surface sloping toward or away from the central portion, wherein the plurality of ribs are arranged so that the top surfaces of the plurality of ribs collectively form a collective surface within the heat distribution device;
- and
- joining a microelectronic element to the top surfaces of the ribs.
