ABSTRACT:
A thermally enhanced BGA semiconductor device10having a heat sink12formed from a single piece of material with an expanded base and a pedestal in contact with a semiconductor chip11.The pedestal is aligned through a window opening in a substrate13and the top surface of the base is adhered to the substrate. The heat sink12with an expanded base provides a path for rapid and efficient heat spreading and dissipation, a stand-off and an aid to improved package planarity during reflow to a PCB, and a long path for ingress of contaminants into the package. The device is amenable to high volume, low cost production.
