Abstract:
A semiconductor device chip package assembly for vertically mounting to a surface of a substrate, comprising:a chip package having a first surface, a second surface, a lead edge, a first end surface, a second end surface, and a plurality of lead pins extending along the lead edge for connecting to said substrate, said plurality of lead pins comprising gull-wing zig-zag lead pins; anda thermal carrier device comprising a thermally conductive slug member having a pair of insert leads, an insert lead of said pair of insert leads connected to an end of the thermally conductive slug member extending therefrom for vertically mounting said thermal carrier device to said substrate, said pair of insert leads offset from said plurality of lead pins of said chip package mounted thereto, said thermal carrier device substantially conforming to the surface area of said first surface of said chip package, said thermal carrier device adhesively connected to said first surface of said chip package by an interference fit by engaging portions of said pair of insert leads thereby providing a heat sink for said chip package.
