An Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) is the surface used to make contact between a heatsink or other thermal solution and a CPU or GPU processor.
Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) - The metal “lid” of the CPU. This serves as a heat sink designed to distribute heat from the processor itself to a CPU cooler, as well as provide protection to the processor inside. This is the part of the CPU that is still exposed after being installed in a motherboard, and is the surface to which you apply thermal paste.
Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) are one of the fundamental heat dissipation components used in various industries. They are typically made of high thermal conductivity metals such as copper or aluminum. In the electronics industry, heat spreaders or heat sinks are installed on electronic components or chips to transfer or dissipate the heat generated by the components using the thermal conductivity of the heat dissipation material itself. Heat spreaders find wide applications in the electronic information industry, semiconductor industry, and optoelectronic component industry, with downstream applications extending to the 3C industry.
Furthermore, electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) have become a major trend in automotive development. In the inverters and rectifiers of electric vehicles, high-power chip modules pose thermal dissipation challenges. Currently, the mainstream solution for such designs is to use water-cooled heat spreaders. By utilizing highly thermally conductive metal materials, along with metal processing techniques and surface treatments, the chip temperature can be controlled within an acceptable range using water cooling. The thermal design of water-cooled heat spreaders needs to effectively dissipate the heat generated by the chips, while considering the cost and manufacturability aspects of the design for mass production.

In terms of heat spreaders size, in past few years, the large size (35*35mm and Above) heat spreaders grew faster, the share will be 66.8% in 2031, from 51.15% in 2024.
In terms of materials, in 2024 the copper heat spreaders are domiating the market, hold 86.14% and in next six years, the stainless steel heat spreaders will grow faster.
In terms of application, in past few years, PC CPU/GPU is the largest application, hold 52.07% in 2024, while Server/Data Center are growing faster.
The future trends in technology will focus on personalized lifestyles, environmental sustainability, aging societies, and human-machine interface. As computer functions become more diverse, computation becomes more complex and faster, and new packaging processes emerge, the demand for heat spreaders with excellent heat dissipation capabilities will increase.
Heat spreaders are fundamental in thermal management in electronic design. In cases where natural convection is insufficient for timely heat dissipation, and forced convection using fans is not yet necessary, heat spreaders are widely used as a solution.
With the advancement of performance and miniaturization processes, the number of transistors in relation to the chip area has increased. This complexity in circuit design does not always result in a 100% improvement in performance. As a result, a significant portion of electrical energy is converted into thermal energy. Additionally, as process miniaturization progresses, leakage power consumption increases, leading to higher power requirements and waste heat generation within the same unit area. Furthermore, with the trend towards compact desktop computers and all-in-one functionality, future mini PCs will need to handle multiple tasks such as information processing and multimedia performance simultaneously. Therefore, effective heat dissipation becomes crucial, making heat spreaders an indispensable solution for efficient thermal management.
Major thermal solution providers are actively exploring new market applications, including gaming consoles, communication devices, servers, automotive electronics, home electronics, and smartphones. The emerging trends of cloud services and the Internet of Things (IoT) in the market contribute to the increasing demand for servers and data centers. As a result, the need for effective heat dissipation in central processing units (CPUs) and connectors becomes more prominent and represents a promising area for further exploration.
