Abstract
Described are techniques for controlling the transfer of heat on various portions of a device or other structure. A structure may include a substrate having a first thermal conductivity. A material having a different thermal conductivity is distributed on the substrate. The position, quantity, and thickness of the material affects the manner in which heat is transferred away from at least one hot spot on the substrate.
