Original Abstract Submitted

A phase change heatsink, a process for manufacturing the heatsink, and a communication device having the heatsink are disclosed. The phase change heatsink includes a heatsink base and a phase change heat spreader integrated into the heatsink base. The phase change heat spreader includes a cover attached to the heatsink base and defines an enclosed cavity, in which one or more support pillars are provided in the enclosed cavity to extend from the heatsink base to the cover, and which is partially filled with refrigerant. The process comprises steps of: a) die-casting the heatsink base to shape the cavity and the support pillars; b) attaching the cover to the heatsink base to enclose the cavity; and c) filling a certain amount of refrigerant into the cavity through a filling port, and scaling the filling port. The attaching step b) further comprises a step b1) of sealing a periphery of the cover to the heatsink base, and a step b2) of bonding a central portion of the cover to the support pillars.
