Method of manufacturing an integrated cold plate for electronics

A method of manufacturing a cold plate comprising:

• a. obtaining a base plate with a top surface, a bottom surface, and an edge;
• b. machining an inlet trough and an outlet trough in the top surface of the base plate;
• c. cutting fins into the base plate with a tool, where the tool contacts the base plate in one of the inlet trough and the outlet trough and where the tool exits the base plate in the other of the inlet trough and the outlet trough;
• d. machining a base plate inlet nozzle indent from the inlet trough to the edge of the base plate;
• e. machining a base plate outlet nozzle indent from the outlet trough to the edge of the base plate;
• f. providing a cover with a cover inlet nozzle indent and a cover outlet nozzle indent;
• g. aligning the cover with the base plate such that the cover inlet nozzle indent is positioned over the base plate inlet nozzle indent and the cover outlet nozzle indent is positioned over the base plate outlet nozzle indent;
• h. securing the cover to the base plate over the enhancements such that the enhancements are positioned within an enclosure formed by the base plate and the cover;
• g. securing an inlet nozzle in the base plate inlet nozzle indent and the cover inlet nozzle indent;
• and
• i. securing an outlet nozzle in the base plate outlet nozzle indent and the cover outlet nozzle indent.
