Abstract:
1. A structure comprising: a substrate comprising a first surface; terminals coupled to the first surface of the substrate; an electronic component comprising bond pads; flip chip bumps coupling the bond pads to bond fingers coupled to the first surface of the substrate; a heat spreader attached to an inactive surface of the electronic component; a package body coupled to the substrate; and solder columns extending through the package body and from the terminals to a lower surface of the heat spreader, wherein the lower surface of the heat spreader is physically and electrically connected to flat surfaces of the solder columns, wherein the solder columns have a maximum diameter in a plane parallel to the first surface of the substrate at a first height from the terminals, and wherein the package body has a principal surface at a second height from the terminals, the second height being less than the first height.
