Chip package dielectric sheet for body-biasing

摘要

A chip package includes a thermal interface material disposed between a die backside and a heat sink. A dielectric sheet is also disposed between the die backside and the heat sink. The dielectric sheet diminishes overall heat transfer from the die to the heat sink by a small fraction of total possible heat transfer without the dielectric sheet. A method of operating the chip includes biasing the chip with the dielectric sheet in place.
