Patent ID: 8779585

Claim:
A structure for implementing enhanced thermal conductivity for stacked modules comprising: a thermally conductive chip lid; a lateral heat distributor positioned between a first chip and a second chip; said chip lid and said lateral heat distributor including cooperating mating features for implementing enhanced thermal conductivity between said chip lid and said lateral heat distributor; said chip lid including a groove along an inner side wall; said groove including a flat wall surface and a curved edge surface; said lateral heat distributor including a mating edge portion received within said groove of said chip lid; said mating edge portion including a bent arm for engaging said curved edge surface of said groove and a flat portion for engaging said flat wall surface of said chip lid groove; and said lateral heat distributor being assembled with said chip lid, said bent arm pressing on the curved edge surface of the groove, and providing an upward force to push said flat portion against said flat wall surface of said chip lid groove via a thermally conductive material layer.
