  • Publication number: 20160372398
    Abstract: An integrated heat spreader comprising a heat spreader frame that has a plurality of openings formed therethrough and a plurality of thermally conductive structures secured within the heat spreader frame openings. The thermally conductive structures can be formed to have various thicknesses which compensate for varying heights between at least two microelectronic devices in a multi-chip package. The thermally conductive structures can be secured in the heat spreader frame by sizing the openings and the thermally conductive structures such that the thermally conductive structures can be secured within the openings without requiring welding or adhesives.

  • Patent number: 7224075
    Abstract: A system and a method for producing a multiple-die device by attaching a die to a substrate using a first die-attach material having a first processing temperature and attaching a subsequent die using a second die-attach material having a second processing temperature such that the process of attaching the second die does not degrade the first die-attach material. For one embodiment, multiple dies are attached using each die-attach material. For one embodiment, the first die-attach material is a thermoplastic film and the second and subsequent die-attach materials are reformulations of the thermoplastic film.
