Abstract
The invention comprises a lid that is capable of being placed in contact with and attached to an integrated circuit that has an exposed surface of an integrated circuit die. The lid has portions that form a cavity between a surface of the lid and the exposed surface of the integrated circuit die when the lid is placed in contact with the integrated circuit. The lid also has portions that form a first fluid conduit for transporting a fluid into the cavity and a second fluid conduit for transporting the fluid out of the cavity. Heat from the integrated circuit die is absorbed by the fluid by direct convection and removed from the integrated circuit when the fluid is removed from the cavity.
