Abstract

An air-jet impingement cooling method combined with a miniature pin-fin heat sink provides equivalent fluid flow to each IC package in a module and achieves a high heat transfer rate per volume. The packaging design is comparable to high-density packaging systems utilizing low-temperature coolant.
