Abstract

An intermediate workpiece includes a first strip of laminated material exhibiting high thermal conductivity and which is subject to bowing in response to thermal cycling. A second strip of copper material is welded to the first strip along a longitudinal abutting edge of each strip. The first strip is partitioned into smaller heatspreader sections each for having a semiconductor die soldered thereto. Thermal manufacturing cycles will not cause a bowing of the second strip or of the heatspreader sections attached thereto.
