Patent ID: 7888786

Claim:
An electronic module, comprising: a microchannel cooling device comprising: a plurality of coolant inlets and outlets, a planar silicon substrate and a second silicon substrate, the planar silicon substrate includes a recessed region comprising a plurality of parallel, microscopic heat conducting fins which define a plurality of channels, and wherein a bottom surface of the second silicon substrate is bonded to a top surface of the planar silicon substrate and the top of the fins, thereby defining a chamber for a flow of coolant through the channels between the plurality of inlet and outlets; a first IC (integrated circuit) processor chip having a non-active surface bonded to a first surface of the microchannel cooling device; a second IC processor chip having a non-active surface bonded to a second surface of the microchannel cooling device opposite the first surface of the microchannel cooling device, wherein the first IC processor chip and the second IC processor chip directly communicate with one another via a communication link provided by a flexible cable connected to both the first and the second IC processor chips; a first array of IC memory chips mounted to an active surface of the first IC processor chip; a second array of IC memory chips mounted to an active surface of the second IC processor chip; a first communication and input/output (CIO) module connected to the first IC processor chip via a first array of vertical pins or solder columns mounted therebetween; and a second communication and input/output (CIO) module connected to the second IC processor chip via a second array of vertical pins or solder columns mounted therebetween.
