Abstract

An electronic assembly is provided having a die, a heat spreader, and a solidified solder material. A die includes a die substrate and an integrated circuit on a bottom surface of the die substrate. The heat spreader is located above the die and has left and right inclined faces. The left inclined face tapers from a point near a center of the die to a point upward and to the left of the upper surface. The right inclined face tapers from a point near the center upward and to the right above the upper surface. A solidified solder material fills regions between the upper surface and the inclined faces of the lower surface.
