Abstract:
A thermocompression bonding apparatus having a plurality of slidably disposed, independently operable impact surfaces. A plurality of pistons are slidably disposed in a housing, and each include extension means terminating in respective impact surfaces. The pistons are actuated so as to urge the impact surfaces into an impact zone so as to affect a plurality of thermocompression bonds.
Abstract:
A cooling system for an electronic package has a support substrate (12) with at least one electronic device (20) and a cover (14) in spaced proximity to the device. A thermal bridge for conducting heat from the device to the cover includes a relatively thick (24) metal sheet provided with cuts that define at least one tab element (34, 35) with grooves (30, 32) that make it bendable. Spring means (26) selectively urge the tab element into contact with the device.
