Abstract:
Over-molded IC package assemblies including an embedded voltage reference plane and/or heat spreader. In some embodiments, an over-molded package assembly includes a IC chip or die coupled to one or more metal distribution layer or package substrate. A molding compound encapsulates at least the IC chip and one or more conductive layers are embedded within the molding compound. The conductive layers may include an interior portion located over the IC chip and a peripheral portion located over the redistribution layers or package substrate. The interior portion may comprise one or more heat conductive features, which may physically contact a surface of the IC chip. In some further embodiments, the peripheral portion comprises one or more electrically conductive features, which may physically contact a surface of the package redistribution layers or package substrate to convey a reference voltage. One or more conductive traces may connect the conductive features in the interior with conductive features in the periphery.

Claim (Index 16):
The device of  claim 15 , wherein:\n the metal mesh comprises:\n metal-filled trenches passing through a thickness of the package material over the IC chip and extending in a first direction; and \n metal traces passing extending over the package material in a second direction and intersecting the metal-filled trenches; \n at least one of the first and second metal-filled vias or trenches makes contact with a surface of the IC chip; and \n the metal sheet and metal mesh are coupled to a reference voltage supplied by the metal redistribution layers or package substrate.
