ABSTRACT:
A thermally-enhanced ball grid array package structure is provided that includes an integrated circuit chip, a heat spreader and a substrate. The integrated circuit chip has a specified surface area. The heat spreader is coupled to the integrated circuit chip. The substrate is coupled to the heat spreader. The substrate has a specified surface area. The heat spreader covers a specified portion of the surface area of the substrate that is greater than the surface area of the integrated circuit chip. The heat spreader is operable to dissipate heat from the integrated circuit chip over the specified portion of the surface area of the substrate.
