  • Patent number: 9704815
    Abstract: A package substrate may include an insulating substrate, internal circuits and a warpage-suppressing member. The insulating substrate may have a plurality of mount regions in which semiconductor chips may be mounted, and a peripheral region. The internal circuits may be arranged in the mount regions. The warpage-suppressing member is different from the semiconductor chips and may be arranged in at least one of the mount regions to suppress a warpage of the insulating substrate. Thus, warpage of the package substrate may be suppressed during a reflow process.

  • Patent number: 8648478
    Abstract: A heat sink includes a first adhesive layer, and a heat dissipation layer disposed on the first adhesive layer, and has ventilation ports that extend therethrough including through the first adhesive layer and the heat dissipation layer. The heat sink forms an outermost part of a semiconductor package. Thus, when the heat sink is bonded via its adhesive layer to underlying structure during a manufacturing process, the ventilation ports allow air to pass therethrough. As a result, air is not trapped in the form of bubbles between the heat sink and the underlying structure.
