Abstract

A reliability cover that is disposed over at least one of an integrated circuit package and a Si die of the integrated circuit package is disclosed. The integrated circuit package is mountable to a printed circuit board via a plurality of solder balls. The reliability cover is configured to reduce a difference in a coefficient of thermal expansion between the integrated circuit package and the printed circuit board, and between the Si die and a substrate of the integrated circuit package by a threshold value.
