Abstract:
An integrated assembly includes a resistor and a heat spreader. The resistor includes a resistive element and terminals. The heat spreader is integrated with the resistor and includes a heat sink of thermally conducting and electrically insulating material and terminations of a thermally conducting material and situated at an edge of the heat sink. At least a portion of a top surface of the resistive element is in thermally conductive contact with the heat sink. Each resistor terminal is in thermally conductive contact with a corresponding termination of the heat sink. A method of fabricating an integrated assembly of a resistor and a heat spreader includes forming the heat spreader, forming the resistor, and joining the heat spreader to the resistor by bonding at least a portion of a top surface of the resistive element to the heat sink and bonding each electrically conducting terminal to a corresponding termination.
