Abstract

An integrated circuit package includes a heatspreader which is formed to have a centrally disposed recessed portion between planar surfaces, and flex tape extending from the planar surfaces into the centrally disposed surface. A semiconductor chip is mounted on the centrally disposed surface between the flex tape, and wire bonds interconnect bonding pads on the chip to the metal interconnect patterns on the flex tape. Plastic molding or epoxy is then applied to encapsulate the chip and wire bonding in the centrally disposed planar surface of the heat spreader. The package is then readily mounted on a motherboard using solder balls.
