Abstract:
Examples described herein relate to a cold plate. In some examples, the cold plate includes a surface with fins and at least two channels, wherein a first channel is shaped with a first opening extending towards the surface, a second opening proximate and across a first fin attached to the surface, and a third opening from the surface and extending away from the surface. In some examples, when a fluid is provided to the first opening, the first opening directs the fluid towards the surface, the second opening directs the fluid across the first fin, and the third opening directs the fluid away from the surface. In some examples, the second opening comprises split openings around opposite sides of the first fin.
Abstract:
A two-phase immersion cooling system for integrated circuit assemblies may be formed utilizing a heat dissipation assembly thermally coupled to at least one integrated circuit device, wherein the heat dissipation assembly includes a heat dissipation device having a boiling enhancement structure attached thereto with a chemically soluble adhesive material; and a thermal interface material between the boiling enhancement structure and the heat dissipation device. Utilizing a chemically soluble adhesive material allows for the boiling enhancement structure to be removed by dissolving the adhesive material, thus allowing for testing, rework, and/or replacement.
Abstract:
Embodiments include semiconductor packages. A semiconductor package includes first and second bottom dies on a package substrate, first top dies on the first bottom die, and second top dies on the second bottom die. The semiconductor package includes thermally conductive slugs on the first bottom die and the second bottom die. The thermally conductive slugs are comprised of a high thermal conductive material. The thermally conductive slugs are positioned directly on outer edges of top surfaces of the first and second bottom dies, inner edges of the top surfaces of the first and second bottom dies, and/or a top surface of the package substrate. The high thermal conductive material of the thermally conductive slugs is comprised of copper, silver, boron nitride, or graphene. The thermally conductive slugs may have two different thicknesses. The semiconductor package may include an active die and/or an integrated heat spreader with the pedestals.
Abstract:
Techniques for liquid cooling interfaces with rotatable connector assemblies are disclosed. In one embodiment, a collar contacts flanges on two components of a connector assembly, preventing them from separating. In another embodiment, a housing is positioned around a stem component. The stem component has a gap between a top part and a bottom part held apart by pillars, allowing water to flow to a tubing fitting connected to the housing. A retainer on top of the stem component holds the housing in place. In yet another embodiment, an internal retainer holds a housing component in place over a stem. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
Embodiments may include systems and methods for manufacturing a probe for wafer sorting or die testing. A probe for wafer sorting or die testing may include a probe body and a probe tip. The probe body may include a probe core and a probe plating layer around the probe core. The probe core may include a first material, and the probe plating layer may include a second material. The probe tip may be next to the probe core of the probe body and may include the first material. In addition, the probe tip may have an end surface that is smaller than a surface of the probe core, and larger than a single point. A probe-manufacturing device may include a forging unit, a clipping unit, and an actuation mechanism to control the forging unit and the clipping unit. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
A microelectronic test device comprising an organic substrate, a probe holder, and an interposer disposed between the organic substrate and the probe holder, wherein the interposer has a coefficient of thermal expansion that is less than a coefficient of thermal expansion of the organic substrate. The interposer may effectively decouple the organic substrate from probes in the probe holder, which may substantially reduce or eliminate probe misalignment due to the coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch between the organic substrate and other components of the microelectronic test device and to provide require stiffness to the organic substrate.
Abstract:
A two-phase immersion cooling system for integrated circuit assemblies may be formed utilizing a heat dissipation device thermally coupled to at least one integrated circuit device, wherein the heat dissipation device includes at least one surface and at least one projection extending from the at least one surface, wherein the at least one projection includes at least one sidewall, and wherein the at least one sidewall of the at least one projection includes at least one surface area enhancement structure. Utilizing such a heat dissipation device can boost nucleate boiling, improve boiling performance, reduce superheat required to initiate boiling, boost the critical heat flux during boiling, and can translate to a greater number of integrated circuit devices/packages that can be placed into a single immersion cooling system.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to interconnects that include liquid metal, and associated techniques and configurations. The individual interconnects may electrically couple a contact of a printed circuit board (PCB) to a contact of a device under test (DUT). The interconnect may be disposed in or on the PCB. In various embodiments, the interconnect may include a carrier that defines a well (e.g., an opening in the carrier), and the liquid metal may be disposed in the well. In some embodiments, the contact of the DUT, or a contact of an intermediary device, may extend into the well and directly contact the liquid metal. In other embodiments, a flex circuit may be disposed over the well to seal the well. The flex circuit may include a conductive pad to electrically couple the liquid metal to the contact of the DUT. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
