Abstract:
Described herein is a technology or a method for fabricating a flip-chip on lead (FOL) semiconductor package. A lead frame includes an edge on surface that has a geometric shape that provides a radial and uniform distribution of electric fields. By placing the formed geometric shape along an active die of a semiconductor chip, the electric fields that are present in between the lead frame and the semiconductor chip are uniformly concentrated.
Abstract:
The disclosed principles provide a stress buffer layer between an IC die and heat spreader used to dissipate heat from the die. The stress buffer layer comprises distributed pairs of conductive pads and a corresponding set of conductive posts formed on the conductive pads. In one embodiment, the stress buffer layer may comprise conductive pads laterally distributed over non-electrically conducting surfaces of an embedded IC die to thermally conduct heat from the IC die. In addition, such a stress buffer layer may comprise conductive posts laterally distributed and formed directly on each of the conductive pads. Each of the conductive posts thermally conduct heat from respective conductive pads. In addition, each conductive post may have a lateral width less than a lateral width of its corresponding conductive pad. A heat spreader is then formed over the conductive posts which thermally conducts heat from the conductive posts through the heat spreader.
