Abstract

Electronically grounded heat spreaders are employed in connection with the dissipation of heat, which is generated by electronic devices, such as semiconductor chips. Also provided is a novel method for the adhesive fastening of metallic heat spreaders to semiconductor chips through the combined use of electrically conductive and non-conductive adhesive materials.
