BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a capsule type heat conduction column and a method for manufacturing the same, which increases efficiency of 3-dimensional heat dissipation and electromagnetic wave absorption, maintains a long service life with high performance, reduces a manufacturing cost, and has environmental friendly effect due to its recyclability so as to improve its whole practical feature.

2. Description of Related Art

With the rapid development of high technology, a volume of an electronic component tends to be smaller, a density of the electronic component in a unit area tends to be higher, and efficacies of the electronic component tend to be more powerful. Therefore, a total heat generation quantity of the electronic component is yearly increased, and a traditional heat dissipating device cannot afford to dissipate the total heat generation quantity quickly. When the total heat generated by the electronic component is not removed efficiently, it leads to an electronic ionization and a thermal stress situation of the electronic component which reduces an overall stability and a service life of the electronic component. Accordingly, it is imperative to dissipate the heat generated from the electronic component to prevent a overheat situation thereof.
