Abstract
Heat management in electronic components is an important factor in managing the performance and longevity of such electronic components. By omitting a thermal interface layer and providing thermal vias between a heatsink and an electronic component, such as a surface mount technology (SMT) package, such components may improve thermal transfer to the heatsink and simplify assembly. Thermal vias may be fused during reflow to the heatsink and/or electronic component. As a benefit to the improved heat transfer provided, electronic components may operate at a lower temperature or be configured to perform greater heat-producing activities.
