Abstract

An electronic system, and a method of manufacture thereof, including: a substrate; an electrical device over the substrate; and a surface mount heat sink next to the electrical device, the surface mount heat sink having an extruded shape characteristic of being formed using an extrusion mechanism.

Claims (14)

1. An electronic system comprising:

a substrate;

an electrical device over the substrate; and

a surface mount heat sink next to the electrical device, the surface mount heat sink having an extruded shape formed using an extrusion mechanism, and the extruded shape including a base portion and a V-beam shape extending from the base portion, the V-beam shape including a first non-horizontal portion and a second non-horizontal portion, the base portion attached to the substrate, the first non-horizontal portion and the second non-horizontal portion extending outwardly from the base portion with the first non-horizontal portion and the second non-horizontal portion formed at an angle less than 90 degrees from the base portion.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the surface mount heat sink is attached to an external layer and the substrate with the electrical device isolated from the external layer.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

the electrical device is directly over a thermal pad of the substrate; and

the surface mount heat sink is directly over the thermal pad.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the surface mount heat sink is for providing a pathway for electro static discharge (ESD).

5. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the surface mount heat sink includes a uniform cross-section and a fixed length.

6. The system as claimed in claim 5 wherein the surface mount heat sink is attached to an external layer and the substrate with the electrical device isolated from the external layer, whereby the external layer is a case or a printed circuit board.

7. The system as claimed in claim 5 wherein:

the electrical device is directly over a thermal pad of the substrate; and

the surface mount heat sink is directly over and attached to the thermal pad.
