US Patent 7928590 Integrated circuit package with a heat dissipation device

Integrated circuit assembly including a die stack assembly having a heat dissipation device thermally coupled to a lateral of surface the die stack assembly. The die stack assembly includes a plurality integrated circuits placed on each other. In another embodiment a heat dissipation device comprising an encapsulant is thermally coupled to and surrounds a die stack assembly that includes a plurality of integrated circuits placed on each other. At least one heat conducting intermediate layer between integrated circuits is thermally coupled to the heat dissipation device.
