A cooling apparatus and method of fabrication are provided for
facilitating removal of heat from a heat generating electronic device.
The cooling apparatus includes a plurality of thermally conductive fins
coupled to and projecting away from a surface to be cooled. The fins
facilitate transfer of heat from the surface to be cooled. The apparatus
further includes an integrated manifold having a plurality of inlet
orifices for injecting coolant onto the surface to be cooled, and a
plurality of outlet openings for exhausting coolant after impinging on
the surface to be cooled. The inlet orifices and the outlet openings are
interspersed in a common surface of the integrated manifold. Further, the
integrated manifold and the surface to be cooled are disposed with the
common surface of the manifold and the surface to be cooled in spaced,
opposing relation, and with the plurality of thermally conductive fins
disposed therebetween.
