Patent ID: 8471380

Claim:
A microelectronic package, comprising: a semiconductor chip; a fluid-carrying cooling tube disposed in proximity to a first surface of said first semiconductor chip, said cooling tube being formed of thermally and electrically conductive material; a thermally and electrically conductive bonding material disposed between said cooling tube and the first surface of said semiconductor chip, thermally and electrically bonding said cooling tube to said first surface; and a plastic encapsulant molded over said semiconductor chip and portions of said cooling tube in proximity to said chip, wherein said first surface of said first semiconductor chip is an active surface, said microelectronic package includes a substrate on which a second active surface of said first semiconductor chip is mounted, and said plastic encapsulant is molded over portions of said substrate in proximity to said semiconductor chip, and wherein said cooling tube extends through an opening found in said substrate and is thermally and electrically coupled to said substrate.
