STRUCTURAL THERMAL INTERFACING FOR LIDDED SEMICONDUCTOR PACKAGES

Abstract:

Structural thermal interfacing for lidded semiconductor packages, including: applying, to a periphery of a surface of a chip, a stiffening adhesive framing a center portion of the chip; applying, to the center portion of the chip, a thermal interface material; and applying a lid to the chip, wherein the lid contacts the stiffening adhesive and is thermally coupled to the chip via the thermal interface material after application to the chip.
