Title: Multi-device cooling structure having assembly alignment features

Abstract

A single device having both thermal and alignment features is provided to mechanically align and more efficiently cool multiple heat generating components. The device includes one or more thermal structures and assembly alignment features, in which the one or more thermal structures make thermal contact with a plurality of heat generating components. The assembly alignment features control the positions of the heat generating components during assembly of the heat generating components onto a common substrate.
