PACKAGED MICROCHIP WITH THERMAL STRESS RELIEF

摘要

A packaged microchip has an isolator that minimizes stress transmission from its package to its microchip. To that end, the packaged microchip includes a stress sensitive microchip having a bottom surface with a bottom surface area, and a package having an integral isolator. The isolator has a top surface with a top surface area that is smaller than the bottom surface area of the microchip. The microchip bottom surface is coupled to the top surface of the isolator.
