ABSTRACT:
A thermal enhanced structure comprising a packaged electronic device and a heat sink that is removably attached thereto. The thermal enhanced structure includes a plastic ball grid array (PGBA) with an electronic chip, a plastic mold cover, and a heat spreader with a plurality of spaced apart securing studs positioned and caulked at a periphery edge thereof. The mold cover, the heat spreader and studs are molded and embedded with one another to form a single unit with improved torque strength and heat dissipation. The single molded unit and the plastic ball grid array are secured together by an adhesive material. Then the heat sink can be easily and removably attached to the molded single unit by fastening elements to the molded studs, thereby allowing more efficient controllable forces or pressures to be applied as the mechanical fastening elements are removably attached to the molded studs to thereby prevent stress and damage to the PBGA package.
