Abstract

Disclosed is a flexible substrate having a thermal contact that provides a continuous high thermal conductivity path from a heat generating component to a heat sink. In one embodiment, the thermal contact includes a metallic trace including a raised feature of thermally conductive material. A solder ball or fillet may be used to make a connection between the raised feature and the heat generating component or between the raised feature and the underlying heat sink or both.
