  • Patent number: 6160311
    Abstract: An enhanced heat dissipating Chip Scale Package (CSP) method and devices include preparing a heat dissipating base with a recess surrounded by a guarding wall. A chip with an integrated circuit (IC) layout is adhered the heat dissipating base in the recess. A substrate with a metallic circuit layer that is smaller size than the chip is then adhered to the chip. Then coupling the metallic circuit layer with the IC layout. A non-conductive resin is then filled in the recess within the guarding wall and covers the coupling portion. The resulting package device produced by means of BGA package process is small size and has enhanced heat dissipating property. The Package size/chip size ratio may be lower than 1.2 to meet the CSP requirements.

  • Patent number: 6151214
    Abstract: Disclosed is a bearing structure of a central processing unit comprises a radiating plate, a back plate, a plurality of screws and elastic elements. The radiating plate has a heat conductive portion and a plurality of sleeves. The back plate is installed below the radiating plate and has a plurality of studs. The plurality of screws are placed within the sleeves of the radiating plate, and protrudes from the bottom of the radiating plate. The plurality of elastic elements being installed between the screws and the sleeve. The radiating plate is moved by the elastic elements so that the heat conductive portion of the radiating plate presses elastically the central processing unit. Therefore, the pressure will not be too large so as to harm the central processing unit, or too small so as to cause the unfastening therebetween. As a result, during assembly, the fastening force of the screws would not be adjusted. Thus, the assembly work becomes easily and the cost is reduced.

  • Patent number: 6077724
    Abstract: A multi-chips semiconductor package and fabrication method mainly combines LOC and BGA techniques to overlap one chip upon another chip in an IC component package. One chip uses leads of a lead frame as connection interface of the circuit in the chip to outside. Another chip uses solder balls as connection interface of the circuit in another chip to outside. The two chips are supported by the lead frame without a substrate used in a conventional BGA package. The two chips may have same or different function. The structure is simple and easy to produce at low cost. The size and length of the IC component is smaller than the one produced by conventional multi-chips packaging techniques.
