Claim:
1. A heat exchanger for cooling an integrated circuit package, comprising: a base plate having a bottom side to be thermally coupled to the integrated circuit package, and a fin side opposite to the bottom side, wherein the fin side is to include a plurality of fins to dissipate thermal energy emanated from the integrated circuit package; a manifold structure disposed on top of the base plate, having one or more layers, to regulate a coolant fluid flow over the plurality of fins to cool the plurality of fins, wherein the one or more layers are to include a plurality of channels and ports complementarily organized to distribute the coolant fluid flow to the plurality of fins tailored to a thermal energy emanation pattern of the integrated circuit package; and a lid plate disposed on top of the manifold structure; wherein either the manifold structure or the lid plate further comprises an inlet port and an outlet port for provision and removal of the coolant fluid flow; wherein the plurality of channels and ports of the manifold structure includes one or more inlet flow channels and one or more distribution ports; wherein the one or more inlet flow channels are to receive the coolant fluid from the inlet port and to direct the coolant fluid to the one or more distribution ports.
