Abstract

A molded integrated circuit package includes an integrated circuit chip, a heat sink device attached directly to the chip or lead frame and a molded package encapsulating the chip. The heat sink preferably comprises a thermally conductive material having a stem which communicates between the IC chip and the exterior of the molded package for direct conduction of heat from the IC chip to the exterior of the package.
