ABSTRACT:
A flip chip semiconductor package with an integral heat sink is disclosed as well as a technique for creating individual heat sinks by applying a conductive layer to the back surface of a wafer containing integrated circuitry before singulation. According to one aspect of the invention, an adhesive layer is applied to the back surface of a semiconductor wafer. A layer of conductive material such as copper is then attached to the back surface of the wafer using the previously applied adhesive. The wafer is then singulated to create individual semiconductor packages with superior heat transfer properties.
