Claim 0:
1. A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit/printed circuit board (IC-PCB) assembly, comprising:
forming a first hole through a PCB with the first hole within a first IC landing pad patterned in a first conductive layer on a first side of the PCB;
shaping or working a thermally conductive metal plate to form a first post that projects from a major surface of the thermally conductive metal plate; and
mounting the thermally conductive metal plate to a heatsink pad patterned in a second conductive layer on a second, opposing side of the PCB, said mounting including inserting the first post through the first hole from the second side of the PCB and soldering or gluing the major surface of the thermally conductive metal plate to the heatsink pad.
