Patent ID: 6998706

Claim:
A heat-dissipating assembly for removing heat from a flip-chip semiconductor device, the assembly comprising: a housing having a thermally-conductive first housing portion and a second housing portion; a flexible substrate supported within the housing, the substrate having conductors thereon; a flip chip mounted to the substrate, the flip chip having a first surface and solder bumps on the first surface registered with the conductors on the substrate, the flip chip having a second surface oppositely disposed from the first surface; a first heat sink including a pedestal extending inwardly towards the flip chip from the first housing portion; and a first pliable pre-cured silicone adhesive layer disposed on an end of the first heat sink and in thermal relationship with the second surface of the flip chip, wherein said silicone adhesive layer is compressively loaded between said first heat sink and second surface of the flip chip.
