Abstract

A semiconductor circuit construction in which the semiconductor junction is constructed as an integral part of a heat pipe to eliminate the casing which interferes with heat flow. The semiconductor chip material directly forms one wall of the casing of a heat pipe which is constructed as a hollow wafer-like configuration. A special material formed from a mixture of glass and the semiconductor material and which is directly adjacent to the backside of the semiconductor chip is used as the heat pipe wick.
