Claim 11:
12. An apparatus, comprising:
a substrate;
at least one integrated circuit device having a first surface and an opposing second surface, wherein the first surface of the first integrated circuit device is electrically attached to the substrate; and
a heat dissipation device thermally coupled to the second surface of the at least one integrated circuit device, wherein the heat dissipation device comprises at least one isotropic thermally conductive section and at least one anisotropic thermally conductive section; and
a thermal interface material, wherein the thermal interface material contacts the at least one anisotropic thermally conductive section of the heat dissipation device and contacts the second surface of the at least one integrated circuit device; and
an additional integrated circuit device having a first surface and an opposing second surface, wherein the additional integrated circuit is in a stacked configuration with the at least one integrated circuit, wherein the first surface of the additional integrated circuit device is electrically attached to the substrate, and wherein the at least one integrated circuit device is electrically connected to the additional integrated circuit device.
