Abstract

An electronic package which includes a substrate (e.g., a chip carrier substrate or a PCB), an electronic component (e.g., a semiconductor chip), a heatsink and a thermal interposer for effectively transferring heat from the chip to the heatsink. The interposer includes a compressible, resilient member (e.g., an elastomeric pad) and a plurality of thin, metallic sheets (e.g., copper foils) and the thickness thereof can be adjusted by altering the number of such foils.
