ABSTRACT:
A molded plastic package for an integrated-circuit die includes a lead frame having a central die-attach paddle. One side of the die-attach paddle has an integrated-circuit die fixed thereto. A heat sink member is resiliently fixed to the other side of the die-attach paddle using a layer of viscous thermal grease between the heat sink member and the other side of the die-attach paddle. One or more holes are formed in the lead frame and are engaged by corresponding studs on the heat sink. The stud has a shoulder portion which engages the lead frame to prevent the stud from further passing through the hole in the lead frame.
