US Patent 7671455 Semiconductor device package with integrated heat spreader

A multi chip housing has a lead frame to which plural die are soldered. A heat spreader conductive cap encloses a volume containing the plural die or chips and is fixed to the periphery of the lead frame. The die may be silicon or GaN based MOSFETs or integrated circuits or a mixture thereof. The tops of the die are closely spaced from the interior of the cap and the volume is filled with a thermally conductive, electrically insulating plastic encapsulant. One die can be connected to the clip as well as the lead frame and the other may be an IC die insulated from the clip.
