Patent ID: 7007741

Claim:
A method of attaching a heat spreader to one or more electronic components, the heat spreader comprising a body and a flexible wall enclosing a chamber in the body, the method comprising: coupling the heat spreader to at least one of the one or more electronic components; and providing a fluid system configured to supply fluid to the chamber; introducing a fluid to the chamber with the fluid system to pressurize the chamber while the heat spreader is coupled to the at least one electronic component such that the flexible wall at least partially conforms to a surface of the electronic component; maintaining the flexible wall in conformance to the surface of the component while the fluid system is disconnected from the heat spreader, wherein the heat spreader is coupled to at least one electronic component with an adhesive disposed between the flexible wall and the surface of the electronic component, wherein maintaining the flexible wall in conformance to the surface of the component comprises allowing the adhesive to substantially cure and at least partially reducing the pressure on the flexible wall after allowing the adhesive to substantially cure.
