Patent ID: 7750449

Claim:
A packaged semiconductor component, comprising: a semiconductor die having a bond pad, a first composition, and a first width; a support member proximate to the semiconductor die, the support member being at least substantially rigid and having a second width generally equal to the first width and a second composition different from the first composition of the semiconductor die, wherein the support member includes a first plate, a second plate, and a plurality of heat conducting fins between the first and second plates; a first adhesive attaching the semiconductor die to the support member; a substrate having a connection site and carrying the semiconductor die and the support member attached to the semiconductor die; a second adhesive attaching the support member to the substrate; a wirebond extending between the bond pad of the semiconductor die and the connection site of the substrate; and an encapsulant at least partially encasing the semiconductor die, the support member, the first adhesive, the second adhesive, the wirebond, and the substrate.
