Abstract: Described herein are integrated circuit devices that include semiconductor devices near the center of the device, rather than towards the top or bottom of the device. In this arrangement, heat can become trapped inside the device. Metal fill, such as copper, is formed within a portion of the device, e.g., over the semiconductor devices and any front side interconnect structures, to transfer heat away from the semiconductor devices and towards a heat spreader.
