Abstract

See full text

The system includes a circuit board, a semiconductor module, a heat dissipator, and at least one thermal via. The circuit board has substantially flat opposing first and second sides. The semiconductor module includes multiple semiconductor devices. The semiconductor module is oriented substantially parallel to the circuit board near the first side, while the heat dissipator is disposed near the second side. The thermal via extends through the circuit board to thermally couple the semiconductor module to the heat dissipator, which may be a heat spreader, heat sink, cooling fan, or heat pipe.
