Abstract:
An integrated circuit (IC) device includes an IC and encapsulating material surrounding the IC. Leads are coupled to the IC and extend outwardly from sides of the encapsulating material, with each lead having three contiguous exposed segments with upper and lower bends defining a Z-shape. In another example, the leads include an upper horizontal segment, lower horizontal segment, and intermediate curved segment extending upwardly from the upper horizontal segment and downwardly to the lower horizontal segment.
Abstract:
An electronic device may include a substrate, an active IC die above the substrate, and a dummy IC die above the active IC die. The electronic device may include a first adhesive layer between the active IC die and the dummy IC die, and a heat sink layer above the dummy IC die and extending laterally outwardly to define a gap between the substrate and opposing portions of the heat sink layer.
