Assignee: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLC
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A power module comprising:
a first stack of layers;
a second stack of layers;
a third stack of layers disposed between the first stack of layers and the second stack of layers and comprising a first semiconductor die, a second semiconductor die and a first center spacer layer disposed between the first semiconductor die and the second semiconductor die;
a first heat pipe extending at least partially into the first center spacer layer; and
at least one cold plate or heat sink receiving thermal energy from the first stack of layers and the second stack of layers, wherein the at least one cold plate or heat sink is ‘C’-shaped and the first heat pipe extends at least one of into or through the at least one cold plate or heat sink, and
wherein the first stack of layers, the second stack of layers, the third stack of layers, the first heat pipe and the at least one cold plate or heat sink facilitate dual sided cooling of each of the first semiconductor die and the second semiconductor die.
