Patent attributes
A thermally enhanced semiconductor package with EMI (electric and magnetic interference) shielding is provided in which a chip is mounted on and electrically connected to a surface of a substrate, and a thermally conductive member is stacked on the chip and electrically coupled to the surface of the substrate by bonding wires. An encapsulant is formed and encapsulates the chip, thermally conductive member, and bonding wires. A plurality of solder balls are implanted on an opposite surface of the substrate. The thermally conductive member is grounded via the bonding wires, substrate, and solder balls, and provides an EMI shielding effect for the chip to protect the chip against external electric and magnetic interference. The thermally conductive member has a coefficient of thermal expansion similar to that of the chip, and reduces thermal stress exerted on the chip and enhances mechanical strength of the chip to thereby prevent chip cracks.
