Abstract

A heat exchange system that can accommodate a high power integrated circuit chip for burn-in temperature stressing includes a heat sink having a chip engaging surface that is adapted to engage a surface of the chip. A liquid layer fills a heat exchange gap between the surface of the chip and the chip engaging surface of the heat sink. The liquid layer provides a low thermal resistance juncture between the chip engaging surface of the heat sink and the surface of the chip, which allows for greater heat transfer therebetween.
