Abstract
A highly integrated semiconductor package having a light and compact construction and heat dissipating means suitable to effectively dissipate heat generated from the package during the operation of the package is disclosed. The semiconductor package has a lower heat sink for dissipating heat generated from a semiconductor chip of the package. The package also has a tape attached to the top of a plurality of inner leads of the package. The inner leads are attached to the top surface of the lower heat sink. The package further has a heat dissipating means for dissipating heat generated from the inner leads. The heat dissipating means has a heat bar attached to the tape. An upper heat sink may be integrated with the heat bar so as to form the heat dissipating means.
Claims7
A semiconductor package comprising a first heat sink for dissipating heat generated from a semiconductor chip, said chip being connected to a plurality of inner leads within said package further comprising:
- an integral heat dissipator extending across multiple ones of said plurality of inner leads and being attached to a first surface of said plurality of inner leads;
- a second surface of said plurality of inner leads being attached to a first surface of said first heat sink;
- and
- an electrically insulating, thermally conductive tape attached to said first surface of said plurality of inner leads, said integral heat dissipator being attached to a first surface of said tape and, by said tape, being attached to said first surface of said plurality of inner leads, and wherein said plurality of inner leads comprises spaced sets of said plurality of inner leads;
- and said integral heat dissipator comprises a series of spaced heat bars, each heat bar overlying one of said sets of said plurality of inner leads.
