Claim 13:
14. The electronic device according to claim 1, further comprising:
a second data processing component, attached to the substrate;
a second pedestal, extending from the mounting surface of the base, interposed between the base and the second data processing component, and comprising a second-pedestal interface surface having a second-pedestal first portion and a second-pedestal second portion; and
a second thermal interface material, interposed between the second-pedestal interface surface and the second data processing component, in direct contact with the second data processing component, and in direct contact with the second-pedestal first portion and the second-pedestal second portion of the second-pedestal interface surface,
wherein:
the second-pedestal first portion of the second-pedestal interface surface has a second-pedestal first height, relative to the mounting surface of the base, and the second-pedestal second portion of the second-pedestal interface surface has a second-pedestal second height, relative to the mounting surface of the base and different than the second-pedestal first height;
the thermal interface material is in direct contact with the interface surface over an entirety of the interface surface of the pedestal;
the second thermal interface material is in direct contact with the second-pedestal interface surface over an entirety of the second-pedestal interface surface;
the entirety of the interface surface of the pedestal is angled, at a first angle, relative to the mounting surface;
the entirety of the second-pedestal interface surface of the second pedestal is angled, at a second angle, relative to the mounting surface; and
the first angle is different than the second angle.
