    Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to a hybrid design whereby a heat spreader arranged to reduce an external skin temperature on a handheld device may further enable the external skin temperature to be directly measured. For example, the heat spreader may be thermally coupled to at least one external surface and include at least one region in which a plurality of recesses are formed such that an electrical resistance is produced in the at least one region when a current is applied thereto. The heat spreader may be formed from a material having a substantially linear resistance-to-temperature correlation, whereby the electrical resistance produced in the at least one region may be measured and correlated to a temperature on the at least one external surface.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method of the disclosure provides a cooling mechanism for a handheld electronic device. The cooling mechanism includes a heat sink and an evaporative cooling mechanism. The evaporative cooling mechanism includes liquid retaining structures. The liquid retaining structures are located in proximity to the at least one IC of the handheld electronic device. Each liquid retaining structure is coated with a temperature sensitive polymer that act as hydrophilic when the temperature of the surface of the handheld electronic device is below a threshold temperature. To maintain the temperature of the surface of the handheld electronic device below the threshold temperature, the temperature sensitive polymer act as hydrophobic and evaporates the liquid stored in the liquid retaining structures to the atmosphere surrounding the handheld electronic device when the temperature of the surface of the electronic device is above the threshold temperature.

    Abstract: A method includes: generating a power consumption reading indicative of power consumption of a device, comparing the power consumption reading to a power threshold, wherein the power threshold represents a level of power consumption corresponding to a rise in temperature of an exterior surface of the device; in response to determining that the power consumption reading exceeds the power threshold, measuring cumulative power consumption over time from the power consumption reading; comparing the cumulative power consumption over time to an energy threshold, wherein the energy threshold corresponds to a temperature threshold for the exterior surface of the device; and in response to determining that the cumulative power consumption over time exceeds the energy threshold, reducing an operating parameter of the device to reduce power consumption.

    Abstract: Metal thermal grounds are used for dissipating heat from integrated-circuit resistors. The resistors may be formed using a front end of line layer, for example, a titanium-nitride layer. A metal region (e.g., in a first metal layer) is located over the resistors to form a heat sink. An area of thermal posts connected to the metal region is also located over the resistor. The metal region can be connected to the substrate of the integrated circuit to provide a low impedance thermal path out of the integrated circuit.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a package including a substrate, die coupled to the substrate, wick deposited on the die, and an evaporation-condensation chamber having a hollowed bottom and two bottom lips, wherein the wick mates into the hollowed enclosure and substantially merges with the two bottom lips forming a sealed chamber. Other aspects are directed to a method of forming a package including coupling a die to a substrate, depositing a wick on the die, and mating the wick with an evaporation-condensation chamber having a hollowed enclosure and two bottom lips, wherein the mating attaches the wick into the hollowed enclosure and substantially merges the wick with the two bottom lips forming a sealed chamber. By directly depositing the wick over the die and integrating the wick with the encapsulation-condensation chamber, this integrated solution provides significant improvement in package thermal resistance especially for high-power and high-performance applications.
