SEMICONDUCTOR PACKAGE HAVING INCREASED RESISTANCE TO ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

摘要

Embodiments of the invention include a semiconductor integrated circuit package that includes a substrate having an integrated circuit die attached thereto. The package includes a ESD shield attached to the substrate. The ESD shield configured to increase the ESD hardness of the package. The ESD shield can further serve to stiffen the package to prevent warping and operate as a heat spreader.
