Abstract

A multi-chip module and heat-sink cap assembly and method of fabrication, which provides sufficient cooling for higher power density chips. The heat-sink cap has heat-sink columns disposed over each chip on a substrate. The heat-sink columns are interconnected by flexible members to provide a unitary cover. Thin film metallization of at least a portion of the mating surfaces of the substrate, chips and heat-sink column permits soldering of the cap to the chips and substrate to form the package which is a mechanically stable structure with no degradation of interconnection fatigue life due to thermal cycling of the assembly when in use.
