    Abstract: While the use of 2.5D/3D packaging technology results in a compact IC package, it also raises challenges with respect to thermal management. Integrated component packages according to the present disclosure provide a thermal management solution for 2.5D/3D IC packages that include a high-power component integrated with multiple lower-power components. The thermal solution provided by the present disclosure includes a mix of passive cooling by traditional heatsink or cold plate and active cooling by thermoelectric cooling (TEC) elements. Certain methods according to the present disclosure include controlling a temperature during normal operation in an IC package that includes a plurality of lower-power components located adjacent to a high-power component in which the high-power component generates a greater amount of heat relative to each of the lower-power components during normal operation.

    Abstract: A data rack system includes a data center rack frame, a shelf positioned within the data center rack frame; and a modular battery unit disposed on the shelf. The modular battery unit further includes a housing having an outer surface, a plurality of strips of phase change material (“PCM”) attached to the outer surface and spaced apart from one another; and air flow channels. The air flow channels are formed in spaces between two adjacent strips of the plurality of strips and defined by a shape and size of the spaces between the two adjacent strips.
