DEVICES HAVING ANISOTROPIC CONDUCTIVITY HEATSINKS, AND METHODS OF MAKING THEREOF

摘要

In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a device includes a circuit board with a thermally conductive core layer and a chip disposed over the circuit board. The device further includes a heat sink disposed over the chip. The thermal conductivity of the heat sink along a first direction is larger than a thermal conductivity along a second direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The heat sink is thermally coupled to the thermally conductive core layer.
