Abstract
A method for fabricating a straight fin heat sink () of the type having a base () and a plurality of fins () extending from the base is disclosed. Each fm () of the plurality of fins of the heat sink is spaced from one another a predetermined distance and lies along a plane generally parallel to planes of the other fins of the plurality of fins. The method includes: providing a die () configured to produce a heat sink () having a base () and a plurality of fins () attached to be base in a radial fashion about the base from at least one side of the base; extruding a blank of material through the die () to produce the heat sink (); and compressing the plurality of fins () with a compression tool () so that the plurality of fins () extend from the base along planes generally parallel to each other.
