management solutions. The present direct liquid immersion<br />

interface significantly reduces thermal resistance, allows for<br />

extremely compact packaging, alleviates thermo-mechanical<br />

stresses, and is easily scalable.<br />

spreaders arranged in truncated pyramid shape<br />

An important aspect of the integration of a 3-D chip stack<br />

to the heat sink is the thermal interface between the stack and<br />

the heat spreader. This interface is complicated not only by<br />

the need to implement a low-resistance thermal interface in a<br />

3-D configuration that includes significant internal and<br />

external connections, but also by the need to minimize<br />

thermally- and assembly-induced mechanical stresses.<br />

convection is laminar with Gr based on the height of the<br />

enclosure (which is the largest value compared to individual<br />

heights of the spreaders from the enclosure top surface) was<br />

was found to be ~1x10 4 , both of which are
