Enhanced heat transport in printed circuit boards via passive components embedding

In this study, we demonstrate the embedding of non-classical heat conducting components (heat pipes) as a possible solution for heat management in tightly packed applications whereas heat spreading and heat guiding can be of extreme importance. Measurements results and simulations will describe the advantages of the presented technology. Further, this paper discusses possible bottlenecks and proposes solutions accordingly.
