Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

At least one hollow metal body with a plurality of micro heat pipes embedded in the hollow metal body is used as a heat sink to remove heat from memory chips in a memory device.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A system for cooling a memory device, the system comprising: one or more thermally conductive bodies in which are embedded a plurality of micro heat pipes; wherein, the one or more thermally conductive bodies are arranged on one or more memory chips of the memory device such that the embedded micro heat pipes run lengthwise along a minor axis of a PCB plane of the memory device; and the one or more thermally conductive bodies are in contact with at least one heat spreader to transfer at least some of the heat from the one or more thermally conductive bodies to air surrounding the memory device. 2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one heat spreader is connected to a ground plane of the PCB of the memory device. 3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one heat spreader is free floating on top of the PCB of the memory device. 4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the embedded micro heat pipes contain a fluid having a low boiling point. 5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more thermally conductive bodies on each side of a double sided memory device are attached to a side plate of the double sided memory device. 6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one heat spreader is a finned heat spreader.
