ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit package includes a package body, such as a transfer molded plastic or preformed ceramic package body, having an integrated circuit die positioned therein. A lead frame, such as a peripheral lead, Leads-Over-Chip (LOC), or Leads-Under-Chip (LUC) lead frame, includes a plurality of leads with portions enclosed within the package body that electrically connect to the integrated circuit die. A heat sink is positioned at least partially within the package body so a surface of a first portion of the heat sink faces the lead frame in close proximity to a substantial part, such as at least eighty percent, of the area of the enclosed portion of the lead frame to thereby substantially reduce an inductance associated with each of the leads.
