The heat dissipating structure includes a flat portion, and a plurality of support portions formed at edge corners of the flat portion for supporting the flat portion above a chip mounted on a substrate. The support portions are mounted at predetermined area on the substrate without interfering with arrangement of the chip and bonding wires that electrically connect the chip to the substrate. The support portions are arranged to form a space embraced by adjacent supports and the flat portion, so as to allow the bonding wires to pass through the space to reach area on the substrate outside coverage of the heat dissipating structure; besides, passive components or other electronic components can be mounted on the substrate at area within or outside the coverage of the heat dissipating structure, thereby improving flexibility in component arrangement in the semiconductor package. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A semiconductor package with a heat dissipating structure, comprising: a substrate; at least a chip mounted on the substrate and electrically connected to the substrate via a plurality of conductive elements; one or more passive components mounted on the substrate; the heat dissipating structure comprising a flat portion, and a plurality of support portions formed at edges of the flat portion for supporting the flat portion in position above the chip, wherein the support portions are mounted at a predetermined area on the substrate and free of interference with an arrangement of the chip, the passive components and the conductive elements, and the support portions are arranged to form a space between two adjacent support portions, the space being sufficiently dimensioned to accommodate the conductive elements and the passive components so as to allow the conductive elements to pass through the space to reach an area on the substrate outside coverage of the heat dissipating structure and such that the passive components are located within and/or outside the coverage of the heat dissipating structure; and an encapsulant formed on the substrate for encapsulating the chip and the conductive elements. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The semiconductor package of claim 1, further comprising: a plurality of solder balls implanted on the substrate and exposed to outside of the encapsulant. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The semiconductor package of claim 1, wherein the conductive elements are bonding wires, and a plurality of bond fingers are formed on the substrate for allowing the bonding wires to be bonded to the bond fingers. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The semiconductor package of claim 3, wherein the flat portion is elevated above the chip by the support portions and forms a predetermined height difference with respect to the substrate, allowing the height difference to be at least corresponding to height of wire loops of the bonding wires. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The semiconductor package of claim 4, wherein part of the bond fingers are situated on the substrate at area outside the coverage of the heat dissipating structure, allowing the corresponding bonding wires to pass through the space embraced by adjacent support portions and the flat portion and to reach the outside-coverage bond fingers. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The semiconductor package of claim 1, wherein the support portions are situated at edge corners of the flat portion. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The semiconductor package of claim 1, wherein the flat portion has a top surface exposed to outside of the encapsulant, and a bottom surface opposed to the top surface, the bottom surface being formed with the support portions. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The semiconductor package of claim 7, wherein at least a protrusion is formed on the bottom surface of the flat portion and extends toward the chip. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The semiconductor package of claim 7, wherein at least a peripherally-situated recess is formed on the top surface of the flat portion. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The semiconductor package of claim 1, wherein each of the support portions is formed with at least a hole for allowing an encapsulating resin used for forming the encapsulant to pass through the hole. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The semiconductor package of claim 1, wherein each of the support portions is formed with a contact portion at a position in contact with the substrate. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The semiconductor package of claim 11, wherein the contact portion substantially extends laterally with respect to the substrate. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The semiconductor package of claim 11, wherein the contact portion is of a triangular shape. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The semiconductor package of claim 11, wherein the contact portion is of a rectangular shape. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The semiconductor package of claim 11, wherein the contact portion is of a semicircular shape.
