Abstract

A multi-chip assembly (100) uses a clip (110) to retain multiple integrated circuits (124-130) to an assembly substrate (140). The use of a thermal medium between the integrated circuits and the heat sinks (120, 122) allows the assembly to be disassembled for rework purposes. The clip contains edge clamps (112), alignment rails (114), and alignment features (116, 316, 416) to properly orient the clip, heat sink, integrated circuits, and assembly substrate.
