Abstract:
Semiconductor device assemblies having stacked semiconductor dies and thermal transfer devices that include vapor chambers are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a semiconductor device assembly includes a first semiconductor die, a second semiconductor die on a base region of the first die, and a thermal transfer device attached to a peripheral region of the first die and extending over the second die. The thermal transfer device includes a conductive structure having an internal cavity and a working fluid at least partially filling the cavity. The conductive structure further includes first and second fluid conversion regions adjacent the cavity. The first fluid conversion region transfers heat from at least the peripheral region of the first die to a volume of the working fluid to vaporize the volume in the cavity, and the second fluid conversion region condenses the volume of the working fluid in the cavity after it has been vaporized.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device assembly having a thermal transfer device that includes a conductive structure having an internal cavity, a working fluid at least partially filling the cavity, a first fluid conversion region adjacent the cavity, and a second fluid conversion region adjacent the cavity, wherein the method comprises:\n positioning a first semiconductor die on a base region of a second semiconductor die; and attaching the thermal transfer device at least to a peripheral region of the second semiconductor die adjacent to the base region and such that\u2014\n at least a portion of the thermal transfer device extends over the first semiconductor die, \n the first fluid conversion region transfers heat from the peripheral region of the first semiconductor die to a volume of the working fluid to vaporize the volume in the cavity, and \n the second fluid conversion region condenses the volume of the working fluid in the cavity after it has been vaporized.
