Claims
- 1. A method of manufacturing a heatsink comprising the steps of:providing a column having a configuration such that a cross-sectional width of the column decreases as said column extends away from a heat-receiving face of said heatsink; forming a plurality of first slits on two side faces of the column, said two side faces are different from the heat receiving face of the column; and forming a plurality of second slits transversely to said first slits such that depths of said first and second slits in the column are different.
- 2. The method of manufacturing the heatsink of claim 1, wherein a plurality of said first slits are made by the extrusion or pultrusion method.
- 3. The method of manufacturing the heatsink of claim 1, wherein a plurality of columns which have a plurality of said first slits formed thereon, are processed on a same jig to form a plurality of said second slits.
- 4. The method of manufacturing the heatsink of claim 3, wherein the forming of said second slits are conducted simultaneously using a plurality of tools.
- 5. The method of manufacturing the heatsink of claim 3, wherein mounting surfaces of said jigs where said columns are placed, are tilted against the processing line of the processing tool.
- 6. The method of manufacturing the heatsink of claim 2, wherein a plurality of columns which have a plurality of said first slits formed thereon, are processed on a same jig to form a plurality of said second slits.
- 7. A method of manufacturing a heatsink comprising:providing a column having a configuration such that a cross-sectional width of the column decreases as said column extends away from a heat-receiving face of said heatsink; forming a plurality of first slits along two side faces of the column, said two side faces are different from the heat receiving face of the column; and forming a plurality of second silts at right angle to the first slits such that pillar-type protrusions defined by said first and second slits are not formed perpendicular to the heat-receiving face of said heatsink.
- 8. The method of manufacturing the heatsink of claim 7, wherein depth of said first slits and second slits in the column are differently made.
- 9. The method of manufacturing the heatsink of claim 7, wherein the plurality of first slits are formed by the extrusion method or the pultrusion method.
- 10. The method of manufacturing the heatsink of claim 7, wherein a plurality of columns where the plurality of first slits are formed thereon, are processed on a same jig to form the second slits.
- 11. A method of manufacturing a heatsink comprising:providing a column having a configuration such that a cross-sectional width of the column decreases as said column extends away from a heat-receiving face of said heatsink; forming a plurality of first slits on two side faces of the column using a first process, said two side faces are different from the heat receiving face of the column; and forming a plurality of second slits transversely to the first slits using a second process different from said first process.
- 12. The method of manufacturing the heatsink of claim 11, wherein said first process is an extrusion method or the pultrusion method.
- 13. The method of manufacturing the heatsink of claim 11, wherein said second process is a cutting method.
- 14. The method of manufacturing the heatsink of claim 11, wherein said first process is an extrusion method or pultrusion method, and wherein said second process is a cutting method.
- 15. A method of manufacturing a heatsink comprising:providing a column having a configuration such that a cross-sectional width of the column decreases as said column extends away from a heat-receiving face of said heatsink; forming a plurality of first slits on two side faces of the column, said two side faces are different from the heat receiving face of the column; and forming a plurality of second slits transversely to said first slits, wherein intervals of the plurality of first slits, at a portion of the heatsink where heat dissipation is higher than other portions of the heatsink, are larger than intervals at said other portions.
- 16. The method of manufacturing the heatsink of claim 15, wherein said first and second silts define pillar-type protrusions that are nor perpendicular to the heat-receiving face of said heatsink.
- 17. The method of manufacturing the heatsink of claim 15, wherein said portion includes the center of the heatsink and said other portions includes the ends of the heatsink.
