Zusammenfassung:This invention relates generally to a heat dissipation technique for an integrated circuit assembly, and more particularly to a technique for dissipating heat from an integrated circuit device. A heat dissipation system and method for extracting heat from an integrated circuit device includes a thermally conductive post having substantially planar upper and lower surfaces, wherein the upper surface is disposed across from the lower surface, and wherein the lower surface is adapted to contact an integrated circuit device. A conductive heat exchange portion including an array of fins extends upwardly from the upper surface of the post where possible to allow components mounted on a printed circuit board to be positioned around the integrated circuit device. The heat exchange portion including the array has a chamber within to receive and house an air movement device so that the air introduced around the fins by the air movement device enhances the heat dissipation from the heat dissipation device.
