An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a loading frame for mounting a packaged semiconductor chip and a heat sink for the packaged semiconductor chip to a socket. The loading frame is comprised of metal. The loading frame has at least one frame leg where the metal is folded to re-enforce a strength of the frame leg.

Loading frame for high I/O count packaged semiconductor chip

An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a packaged semiconductor device. The packaged semiconductor device having an integrated heat spreader, wherein, a boiling enhancement structure exists on the integrated heat spreader without a block mass residing between the boiling enhancement structure and the integrated heat spreader. The boiling enhancement structure has a structured non-planar surface to promote bubble nucleation in an immersion cooling system.

Boiling enhancement structures for immersion cooled electronic systems

Techniques for liquid cooling interfaces with rotatable connector assemblies are disclosed. In one embodiment, a collar contacts flanges on two components of a connector assembly, preventing them from separating. In another embodiment, a housing is positioned around a stem component. The stem component has a gap between a top part and a bottom part held apart by pillars, allowing water to flow to a tubing fitting connected to the housing. A retainer on top of the stem component holds the housing in place. In yet another embodiment, an internal retainer holds a housing component in place over a stem. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Technologies for liquid cooling interfaces

Embodiments disclosed herein include sockets and electronic packages with socket architectures. In an embodiment, a socket comprises a housing with a first surface and a second surface. In an embodiment, a plurality of interconnect pins pass through the housing. In an embodiment, an alignment hole is provided through the housing. In an embodiment, an alignment post extending out from the first surface of the housing is also provided.

Compression mounted technology (CMT) socket system retention mechanisms designs for shipping reliability risk mitigation

Examples described herein relate to a cold plate. In some examples, the cold plate includes a surface with fins and at least two channels, wherein a first channel is shaped with a first opening extending towards the surface, a second opening proximate and across a first fin attached to the surface, and a third opening from the surface and extending away from the surface. In some examples, when a fluid is provided to the first opening, the first opening directs the fluid towards the surface, the second opening directs the fluid across the first fin, and the third opening directs the fluid away from the surface. In some examples, the second opening comprises split openings around opposite sides of the first fin.

Compression mounted technology (CMT) socket retention mechanisms to board or interposer

A reflowable grid array (RGA) interposer includes first connection pads on a first surface of a body and second connection pads on a second surface of the body. Heating elements within the body are adjacent to the second connection pads. First interconnects within the body connect some of the second connection pads to the first connection pads. Second interconnects within the body connect pairs of the second connection pads. A motherboard assembly includes first and second components (e.g., CPU with co-processor and/or memory) and the RGA interposer. The first connection pads are in contact with motherboard contacts. The second connection pads are in contact with the first and second components. The first component passes signals directly to the motherboard by the first interconnects. The second component passes signals directly to the first component by the second interconnects but does not pass signals directly to the motherboard by the first interconnects.

Reflow grid array to support late attach of components

A coaxial wire interconnect architecture and associated methods are described. In one example, the coaxial wire interconnect architecture is used in a test socket interconnect array. Flexible bends are formed in one or more of the coaxial wire interconnects to provide compliant connections to an electronic device during testing.

Micro-coaxial wire interconnect architecture
