Patent ID: 7738249

Claim:
An electrical assembly comprising: a circuitized substrate including a first plurality of dielectric and electrically conductive circuit layers alternatively oriented in a stacked orientation, a thermal cooling structure directly laminated to at least one of said dielectric layers of said first plurality of dielectric and electrically conductive circuit layers; a second plurality of dielectric and electrically conductive circuit layers alternatively oriented in a stacked orientation, said second plurality of dielectric and electrically conductive circuit layers located on an opposite side of said thermal cooling structure from said first plurality of dielectric and electrically conductive circuit layers; at least one electrical component mounted on said circuitized substrate, said circuitized substrate including a plurality of electrically conductive and thermally conductive plated thru-holes located therein, selected ones of said thermally conductive plated thru-holes thermally coupled to said at least one electrical component and extending through said first plurality of dielectric and electrically conductive circuit layers and being thermally coupled to said thermal cooling structure, each of said selected ones of said thermally conductive plated thru-holes adapted for providing a thermal path from said at least one electrical component to said thermal cooling structure, said thermal cooling structure adapted for having cooling fluid pass therethrough during operation of said electrical assembly; and an electrically conductive plated thru-hole extending entirely through both said first plurality of dielectric and electrically conductive circuit layers and said second plurality of dielectric and electrically conductive circuit layers.
