ABSTRACT:
A circuit board (10, 50, 70) and method transport a conduction medium (75) through the circuit board for operating a semiconductor device (16, 60, 77, 79) supported on a surface (15, 62, 82) of the circuit board. A medium transport cavity (20, 36, 54, 80) is formed in the circuit board such that a portion (36, 54, 80) runs parallel to the surface, and therefore has a length greater than the thickness of the circuit board. The conduction medium can include air, a coolant fluid, or an optical fiber, which can transport energy such as pressure/vacuum, sound, heat or light from an external source to the semiconductor device.
