A vapor chamber heat sink attached to a heat-generating electronic
component includes a base (10) defining an opening therein. A plurality
of fins (20) is mounted on the base. A heat pipe (30) thermally connects
the electronic component and the fins. The heat pipe comprises a
plate-type lower portion (32) contacting a bottom surface of the base and
a bottom surface (22) of the fins and overlaying a top surface of the
electronic component, a plate-type upper portion (34) parallel to the
lower portion contacting a top surface (24) of the fins, and a connecting
portion (36) interconnecting opposite two ends of the lower and upper
portions. The heat pipe is configured in such a manner so as to enhance
contact area and thermal conductivity between the heat pipe and the
electronic component and between the heat pipe and the fins.
