Abstract
A heat dissipation structure for a semiconductor integrated circuit die having a plurality of connection areas may include a thermal mount comprising a plurality of pillars each having an aspect ratio preferable greater than 2:1 and each positioned to connect to one of the connection areas on a peripheral portion of the semiconductor integrated circuit die with one of a plurality of interface layers. A thermal conductivity of materials for the connection areas, the thermal mount, the pillars, each of which is preferably copper, and the interface layers, which are preferably copper nanoparticle layers, has a thermal conductivity greater than 100 Watts per meter degree Kelvin (W/m·K). Flexure of the pillars accommodates mechanical strain arising from temperature changes and differences in coefficients of thermal expansion for materials of the semiconductor integrated circuit die and the thermal mount.
