    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a data center having a plurality of liquid cooled computer systems. The computer systems each include a processor coupled with a cold plate that allows direct liquid cooling of the processor. The cold plate is further arranged to provide adapted flow of coolant to different portions of the processor whereby higher temperature regions receive a larger flow rate of coolant. The flow is variably adjusted to reflect different levels of activity. By maximizing the coolant temperature exiting the computer systems, the system may utilize the free cooling temperature of the ambient air and eliminate the need for a chiller. A data center is further provided that is coupled with a district heating system and heat is extracted from the computer systems is used to offset carbon emissions and reduce the total cost of ownership of the data center.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an underfill in a semiconductor chip stack having a cavity 4 between a first surface (2, figure 1) and a second surface (3). The cavity has multiple access 109 and vent 110 holes in at least one of the said surfaces. Viscous filling material (13) is applied through the access hole into the cavity thereby squeezing air or gas through the vent holes. The filler material may comprise of a carrier fluid 16 and filler particles 17, and be applied to the access holes by way of a dispenser tube 14. The filler material occupies the space within the cavity such that it surrounds solder balls 7. Once the filler material fills the cavity between a particular access hole and vent hole the filler material may instead be inserted through said vent hole. The vent holes may also comprise a filter element which restricts the filler particles 17 from exiting the cavity.

    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for optimizing semiconductor packing in a three-dimensional (3D) very-large-scale integration (VLSI) device. The 3D VLSI device comprises a processor layer coupled, via a first set of coupling devices, to at least one signaling and input/output (I/O) layer. The 3D VLSI device further comprises a power delivery layer coupled, via a second set of coupling devices, to the processor layer. In the 3D VLSI device the power delivery layer is dedicated to only delivering power and does not provide data communication signals to the elements of the three-dimensional VLSI device, and the at least one signaling and input/output (I/O) layer is dedicated to only transmitting the data communication signals to and receiving the data communications signals from the processor layer and does not provide power to the elements of the processor layer.

    Abstract: Die Erfindung bezieht sich insbesondere auf ein integriertes Schaltungsmodul (10c). Das Modul weist eine Schichtstruktur auf, bei der ICs und Elektroden (17) in elektrischer Verbindung mit einer Schicht (16) der Schichtstruktur angeordnet sind. Das Modul weist des Weiteren einen oder mehrere Flüssigkeitskreislaufabschnitte (19) auf, die jeweils dazu bestimmt sind, eine jeweilige Elektrolytlösung (oder zwei verschiedene Lösungen, siehe den unten beschriebenen Doppelstrom-Redoxmodus) aufzunehmen. Jede verwendete Lösung weist lösliche elektroaktive Spezies auf. Ein Flüssigkeitsabschnitt ist dazu konzipiert, eine Elektrolytlösung aufzunehmen und ihr zu ermöglichen, mit entsprechenden Elektroden in Kontakt zu treten, um die ICs im Betrieb mit Leistung zu versorgen. Da Elektroden in das Modul integriert sind, kann elektrische Leistung in die Nähe der ICs geführt werden, wodurch der Wirkungsgrad der Leistungsversorgung erhöht wird. Da eine Flüssigkeit in-situ verwendet wird, kann schließlich eine geeignete Wärmeableitung in Betracht gezogen werden, wobei darauf hingewiesen wird, dass eine elektrische Leistungsversorgung und eine Wärmeableitung einander entsprechen.

    Abstract: A plurality of heat-dissipating electronic chips are arranged in a vertical chip stack. The electronic chips have electronic components thereon. A cold plate is secured to a back side of the chip stack. A silicon earner sandwich, defining a fluid cavity, is secured to a front side of the chip stack. An inlet manifold is configured to supply cooling fluid to the cold plate and the fluid cavity of the silicon carrier sandwich. An outlet manifold is configured to receive the cooling fluid from the cold plate and the fluid cavity of the silicon carrier sandwich. The cold plate, the silicon earner sandwich, the inlet manifold, and the outlet manifold are configured and dimensioned to electrically isolate the cooling fluid from the electronic components. A method of operating an electronic apparatus and a method of manufacturing an electronic apparatus are also disclosed. Single-sided heat removal with double-sided electrical input-output and double-sided heat removal with double-sided electrical input-output are also disclosed.
