ABSTRACT:
A heat sink comprises a base having a substantially flat region for interfacing with an electronic component, and at least one heat pipe having a first region substantially parallel to the flat region of the base and a second region substantially perpendicular to the flat region of the base. By providing a heat pipe in a heat sink that is L-shaped or U-shaped, a greater portion of the heat pipe is in contact with the heat-generating electronic component. As a result, thermal efficiency increases because there is more direct contact with the heat pipe.
