Abstract

A method and an apparatus for cooling a semiconductor device. The method comprises the steps of contacting a surface of the semiconductor device with respective end portions of an array of contact elements thermally coupled to a cooling fluid, and disposing a flexible, heat conductive sheet between the respective end portions of the contact elements and the surface of the semiconductor device for transferring heat generated in the semiconductor device to the cooling fluid via the sheet and the contact elements.
