Abstract
Heatsink structures for integrated circuit chips, chip packages, printed wiring boards and the like are disclosed. The heatsink structures according to the present invention have thin flexible cooling fins which move and vibrate under the flow of a cooling fluid. In one embodiment, the fins comprise a thin metal film, such as copper or aluminum, which is laminated to a thin polymeric layer. The polymeric layer provides resilience and elasticity to the metal film and the cooling fins.
