Abstract
An apparatus includes a substrate, an integrated circuit positioned on the substrate, and a load plate positioned on the integrated circuit such that the load plate is arranged to absorb heat from the integrated circuit. The load plate includes a body and an extender. The body includes an upper surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface contacts the integrated circuit such that the bottom surface is between the integrated circuit and the upper surface. A portion of the body extends beyond the integrated circuit. The extender is coupled to the portion of the body such that the extender extends from the bottom surface to define a cavity between the extender and the integrated circuit. The extender defines an aperture aligned with the integrated circuit.
