Abstract

There is provided a molded plastic electronic package having improved thermal dissipation. A thermal dissipator, such as a heat spreader or a heat slug is partially encapsulated in the molding resin. The thermal dissipator has a density less than that of copper and a coefficient of thermal conductivity that is constant or increases as the package periphery is approached.
