Integrated circuit package design

摘要

A packaged integrated circuit including a package substrate having electrical contacts for receiving an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit is electrically connected to the electrical contacts of the package substrate. A stiffener is mounted to the package substrate, where the stiffener has a non-orthogonal cut out in which the integrated circuit is disposed. The edges of the cut out are disposed at no greater a distance from the corners of the integrated circuit than they are from the sides of the integrated circuit.
