Coupled-cap flip chip BGA package with improved cap design for reduced interfacial stresses

摘要

Plastic ball grid array (PBGA) packages comprised of organic carriers on which are mounted and encapsulated semiconductor chips, providing for the mounting of so-called flip-chips. The chips are overlaid with a heat spreading thermally-conductive cap of a mesh-like material which is interstitially filled with an adhesive to prevent delamination caused by mismatches in the coefficients of thermal expansion, which result in contractions which cause the entire package arrangement to warp, leading to delamination between an encapsulant and cap and resulting in failure of connect joints and the ball grid arrays.
