A method of fabricating an object by additive manufacturing is provided. The method includes irradiating a portion of powder in a powder bed, the irradiation creating an ion channel extending to the powder. The method also includes applying electrical energy to the ion channel, wherein the electrical energy is transmitted through the ion channel to the powder in the powder bed, and energy from the irradiation and the electrical energy each contribute to melting or sintering the portion of the powder in the powder bed.

Methods and apparatuses for cooling an electronic device assembly having a heat producing are described. An electronic device assembly includes a heat dissipation member and a dielectric two-phase heat transfer device. The dielectric heat transfer device has an evaporator region thermally attached to a hot region of the heat producing component and a condenser region thermally attached to the heat dissipation member. The dielectric two-phase heat transfer device is fabricated from a dielectric material.
