Abstract
A chip carrier having improver thermal properties, wherein the chip carrier may be formed having waist section, and a first transverse end portion joined to the waist section. A first surface of the carrier being configured to receive a chip thereon, and a second surface of the carrier configured to be coupled to a thermal control unit to provide cooling of the carrier and chip. The chip carrier may have a second transverse end portion joined to the waist portion in certain embodiments.
Claims22
An apparatus, comprising:
- a chip carrier having a T-bone shape formed by:
- a first substantially T-shaped surface including a waist section and a transverse end portion joined to the waist section, the first substantially T-shaped surface being configured to support a chip;
- a second substantially T-shaped surface spaced apart from the first substantially T-shaped surface, the second substantially T-shaped surface including a waist section and a transverse end portion joined to the waist section, the second substantially T-shaped surface being configured to couple to a thermal control element;
- and
- a first arcuate side extending between the first substantially T-shaped surface and the second substantially T-shaped surface.
