LOW-STRESS-INDUCING OMNIDIRECTIONAL HEAT SINK

摘要

LOW-STRESS-INDUCING OMNIDIRECTIONAL HEAT SINK Disclosed is a heat sink for cooling an integrated circuit package. The heat sink comprises a single thin sheet of material having two oppositely facing major surfaces. These two major surfaces have a common perimeter defining a plurality of spaced-apart finger-shaped portions of the thin sheet of material that extend radially from a central portion of the sheet. The central portion is flat for attachment to the integrated circuit package; and the finger-shaped portions are formed to extend out of the plane of the central portion to become cooling fins for the central portion.
