Abstract
An integrated circuit package which has a heat pipe that is incorporated into the body of the package. The package contains an integrated circuit which is mounted to a package substrate. The integrated circuit die is enclosed by a cover plate that is attached to the substrate. The heat pipe is attached to a nut that is screwed into the cover plate. The heat pipe has a bottom surface that is thermally coupled to the die to provide a direct thermal path between the integrated circuit and the heat pipe.
