Abstract

A stress release thermal interface is provided for preventing the building up of stress between chip and heat sink surfaces in a multi-chip module (MCM) while maintaining reliable thermal and mechanical contact. The interface achieves enhanced thermal conduction by using flexible, interlocking posts attached to the surfaces of the chip and the heat sink.
