  • Publication number: 20070064399
    Abstract: An electronic package having enhanced heat dissipation is provided exhibiting dual conductive heat paths in opposing directions. The package includes a substrate having electrical conductors thereon and a flip chip mounted to the substrate. The flip chip has a first surface, solder bumps on the first surface, and a second surface oppositely disposed from the first surface. The flip chip is mounted to the substrate such that the solder bumps are registered with the conductors on the substrate. The package further includes a stamped metal heat sink in heat transfer relationship with the second surface of the flip chip. The heat sink includes a cavity formed adjacent to the flip chip containing a thermally conductive material.

  • Publication number: 20060171120
    Abstract: An overmolded electronic assembly includes a substrate, a plurality of surface mount technology (SMT) integrated circuit (IC) chips, a plurality of heat sinks, a backplate and an overmold material. The substrate includes a plurality of conductive traces formed on a first surface of the substrate. The IC chips each include an active front side and a backside and the IC chips are electrically coupled to one or more of the traces. The heat sinks are each in thermal contact with the backside of a different one of the IC chips and are independent of each other. The backplate is attached to a second surface of the substrate, which is opposite the first surface of the substrate. The overmold material covers the first surface of the substrate and maintains the heat sinks in thermal contact with an associated one of the IC chips.

  • Publication number: 20060164818
    Abstract: An electronic assembly includes a backplate, a substrate and a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA). The backplate includes a cavity and the substrate includes a plurality of interconnected electrical components. The substrate is positioned within the cavity and a wall height of the cavity is greater than a combined thickness of the substrate and the adhesive, which bonds the substrate to the backplate.

  • Publication number: 20050173152
    Abstract: An electronic package is provided having a surface mount electronic device connected to a circuit board. The package includes a circuit board and a surface mount electronic device. A mounting pad is formed on the circuit board. A plurality of vias are formed each having an opening extending into the circuit board and extending through the mounting pad. The package further includes a solder joint connecting a contact terminal of the surface mount device to the mounting pad on the circuit board. The solder joint extends at least partially into the openings in each of the plurality of vias to support the arrangement of the surface mount device on the circuit board.

  • Publication number: 20050077614
    Abstract: An electronic package having enhanced heat dissipation is provided exhibiting dual conductive heat paths in opposing directions. The package includes a substrate and a semiconductor device mounted to the substrate. The semiconductor device has electrical circuitry a first surface, and a second surface oppositely disposed from the first surface. A thermally conductive heat sink is assembled over the semiconductor device such that a cavity is formed between the semiconductor device and the heat sink. A thermally conductive and electrically insulative material is disposed in the cavity between the semiconductor device and the heat sink.
