Zusammenfassung:An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a printed circuit board (PCB), a heating element and a layer of material that is physically integrated with a surface of the PCB. The layer of material is to apply an expansive or contractive force to a surface of the PCB in response to being warmed by heat generated by the heating element. The expansive or contractive force is to cause the first surface to expand with a first coefficient of thermal expansion that is closer to a second coefficient of thermal expansion of an opposite surface of the PCB than the surface's coefficient of thermal expansion without the expansive or contractive force.
