Abstract

A BGA (Ball Grid Array) integrated circuit package is proposed, which is characterized in the use of a ground metallic layer adhered to a substrate. Moreover, the ground metallic layer can provide the semiconductor chip with a heat-dissipation path, allowing heat from the semiconductor chip during operation to be dissipated to the atmosphere via the ground metallic layer, so that the overall heat-dissipation efficiency can be increased. The ground metallic layer is formed with a chip-receiving cavity for accommodating a semiconductor chip mounted on the substrate. As the semiconductor chip is surrounded and in close proximity to the ground metallic layer, it can help reduce undesired simultaneous switching noise, crosstalk, and electromagnetic interference in the integrated circuit package.
