Patent ID: 11915997
Assignee: MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC.
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 5:
6. A semiconductor assembly, comprising:
a microchannel module including
a mounting portion including mounting sites,
contacts corresponding to the mounting sites,
a base portion including terminals electrically coupled to the contacts, and
a core region between the mounting portion and the base portion having a microchannel having a first duct and a second duct spaced apart from the first duct by a common thermally conductive wall, wherein the first duct and the second duct extend in at least approximately the same direction, and wherein a first portion of a flow through the first duct has an approximately opposite direction to a second portion of the flow through the second duct;

a logic device mounted over a central portion of the microchannel module and electrically coupled to the contacts of the microchannel module, wherein the microchannel is configured to remove thermal energy from a bottom portion of the logic device;
a memory device mounted over a peripheral portion of the microchannel module, wherein the microchannel is configured to remove thermal energy from a bottom portion of the memory device,
wherein (a) the memory device is positioned adjacent to an inlet of the microchannel and the logic device is positioned adjacent to an outlet of the microchannel, or (b) the memory device is positioned adjacent to the outlet of the microchannel and the logic device is positioned adjacent to the inlet of the microchannel and
a substrate coupled to both the logic device and the microchannel module and positioned between the logic device and the microchannel module.
