In one embodiment, the present invention includes a socket for a semiconductor package, where the socket has a frame with a segmented design, where socket streets are located between the segments. One or more of the streets may include a conduit to enable thermal transfer during operation of the semiconductor package. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Cooling system for semiconductor devices

A laminated socket contact is described for reducing inductance in power connections to an integrated circuit package. The contact consists of a conductive power panel, a conductive ground panel, a thin non-conductive layer interposed between the power panel and ground panel layer, and at least one conductive finger extending from each of the power panel and ground panel. Various embodiments of this socket contact may be used with power bar connectors, side terminal connectors or pin connectors.
