Integrated thermal coupling for heat generating device
First Claim
1. A method for thermally coupling a heat source to a heat sink, comprising the steps of:
- forming a plurality of heat generating devices on a first side surface of a first substrate;
forming a plurality of first channels in a second side surface of the first substrate to form a plurality of first fins;
forming a plurality of second channels in a second substrate to form a plurality of second fins and a second base for connecting to the heat sink; and
interleaving the first and second fins to provide a thermally conductive path from the heat generating source to the heat sink.

Abstract
In order to provide a thermal coupling between a heat source and a heat sink, an integrated interleaved-fin connector is provided. A first substrate includes a first side surface and a second side surface. A plurality of heat generating devices are formed in the first side surface. A plurality of first channels are etched in the second side surface to form a plurality of first fins. A second substrate has a plurality of second channels etched therein to form a plurality of second fins and a base. The base is for thermally engaging with a heat sink. The first and second fins providing a thermally conductive path from the heat generating devices to the heat sink when interleaved with each other.
