Abstract: IC package including a material preform comprising graphite. The material preform may have a thermal conductivity higher than that of other materials in the package and may therefore mitigate the formation of hot spots within an IC die during device operation. The preform may have high electrical conductivity suitable for EMI shielding. The preform may comprise a graphite sheet that can be adhered to a package assembly with an electrically conductive adhesive, applied, for example over an IC die surface and a surrounding package dielectric material. Electrical interconnects of the package may be coupled to the graphite sheet as an EMI shield. The package preform may be grounded to a reference potential through electrical interconnects of the package, which may be further coupled to a system-level ground plane. System-level thermal solutions may interface with the package-level graphite sheet.

Abstract: IC packages including a heat spreading material comprising crystalline carbon. The heat spreading material may be applied directly to an IC die surface, for example at a die prep stage, prior to an application or build-up of packaging material, so that the high thermal conductivity may best mitigate any hot spots that develop at the IC die surface during operation. The heat spreading material may be applied to surface of the IC die.
