A heat sink or heat transfer device particularly for integrated circuits,
uses a phase change working fluid in a cyclic flow path having at least
one evaporator that serves multiple heat sources. The evaporator can be
an integral vessel made of thermally conductive material to which the
multiple heat sources are coupled, preferably at evaporation points that
are placed on opposite sides of a fluid reservoir for the liquid phase of
the working fluid that feeds the evaporation points via capillary flow
through a picking material.
