Patent ID: 7683483

Claim:
A flip-chip electronic device, comprising: a first cluster comprising a first device cell having one or more active elements, and multiple first cluster bumps directly adjacent to and in close thermal proximity to the first device cell and adapted to thermally couple the first device cell to an external substrate, wherein the multiple first cluster bumps include at least a first bump, a second bump, a third bump, and a fourth bump, and wherein the first device cell is centered between and equidistant from the first bump, the second bump, the third bump, and the fourth bump, wherein the first bump is directly adjacent a first side of the first device cell, the second bump is directly adjacent a second side of the first device cell, the third bump is directly adjacent a third side of the first device cell, and the fourth bump is directly adjacent a fourth side of the first device cell; and a second cluster comprising a second device cell having one or more active elements, and multiple second cluster bumps directly adjacent to and in close thermal proximity to the second device cell and adapted to thermally couple the second device cell to the external substrate, wherein the multiple second cluster bumps include at least the fourth bump, a fifth bump, a sixth bump, and a seventh bump, wherein the fourth bump is directly adjacent a first side of the second device cell, the fifth bump is directly adjacent a second side of the second device cell, the sixth bump is directly adjacent a third side of the second device cell, and the seventh bump is directly adjacent a fourth side of the second device cell.
