Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for implementing enhanced heat sink loading for cooling an electronic module having one or more semiconductor chips. The apparatus includes an electronic module having one or more semiconductor chips; a heat sink; a heat sink load bearing member further comprising raised points; a load spring passing through the heat sink, the load spring having a latch arm at a first end and a load screw at a second end actuating the load spring, the load spring when actuated is configured to bear against the raised points to equalize pressure distribution over one or more semiconductor chips on the electronic module.
