Abstract
A temperature sensor for an integrated circuit is attached to a heat sink using a compliant member such as a spring. The spring attaches to the heat sink and extends across a slot in the thermal contact surface of the heat sink so that the temperature sensor coupled to the spring is centered nominally over an integrated circuit die when the heat sink is abutted against the integrated circuit.
