Abstract:
1. A semiconductor package comprising: a semiconductor die; a carrier which supports the semiconductor die, the semiconductor die being wire bonded to respective leads of the package; and a thermal spreader between the semiconductor die and the carrier, the thermal spreader being integrated with the semiconductor die as a part thereof the thermal spreader having a thermal conductivity that is higher than the carrier's thermal conductivity; wherein the thermal conductivity of the thermal spreader is higher than 500 W/m·K such that heat generated by the semiconductor die is spread substantially evenly across the thermal spreader, and a molding compound partially encapsulating the semiconductor die, bonding wires, and the carrier such that the thermal spreader is completely encapsulated and a bottom surface of the carrier is exposed and coplanar with that of the molding compound.
