Intel Foundry researchers have developed a modular heat spreader assembly technique that could enable the production of exceptionally large semiconductor packages while reducing manufacturing complexity and costs. The method separates traditional single-piece metal spreaders into simpler components joined during packaging, cutting warpage by 30 percent and thermal interface material gaps by 25 percent compared with conventional designs, according to a company research paper.
The disaggregated approach uses flat plates for heat distribution combined with stiffeners that provide structural support and cavity shapes, all manufactured through standard stamping rather than expensive machining processes. Engineers noted the system addresses...
