An apparatus for operably conveying heat away from a heat source includes a thermally conductive substrate having a thickness defining a planar boundary thereof, and an insert portion disposed in the substrate and being positioned so as not to extend beyond the planar boundary. The insert portion is a material having a thermal conductivity value of at least 1.5 times that of the substrate material along at least two axial directions, with one of such axial directions extending substantially perpendicularly to first and second opposed sides of the substrate. |
