Abstract
A method of forming structure. A substrate and an interposer are provided. The substrate includes a heat source and N continuous substrate channels on a first side of the substrate (N≧2). N interposer channels are coupled to the N substrate channels so as to form M continuous loops (1≦M≦N). Each loop independently consists of K substrate channels and K interposer channels in an alternating sequence. For each loop, K is at least 1 and is subject to an upper limit consistent with a constraint of the M loops collectively consisting of the N interposer channels and the N substrate channels. Each loop is independently open ended or closed. The first side of the substrate is connected to the interposer. The interposer is adapted to be thermally coupled to a heat sink such that the interposer is interposed between the substrate and the heat sink.
