Systems and methods for improved heat dissipation in semiconductor packages

摘要

Today's high speed semiconductor chips offer high performance at the expense of increase heat generation. A heat spreader can be build into a mold compound covering a semiconductor die in a semiconductor package by forming holes in the mold compound and filling the holes with a thermally conductive material such as thermally conductive adhesive. This heat dissipation capability can further be enhanced by a layer of thermally conductive material on the surface of the mold compound and optionally by an external metal layer or heat sink.
