Abstract

An integrated circuit package with heat slug is disclosed. The heat slug is thermally coupled to one or more semiconductor die using a single layer of high conductivity adhesive. The assembly process of this invention includes the steps of initially attaching a temporary heat slug to the back side of a package body, to which one or more semiconductor die are attached. The semiconductor die are then electrically connected to the package body and encapsulated to maintain fixed positions within the package cavity. The temporary heat slug is then moved and a final heat slug is attached to the package body and the back side of the one or more semiconductor dies utilizing a single layer of high conductivity adhesive. The package is compact, has reduced complexity, and is inexpensive to manufacture.
