Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A semiconductor device has a first substrate with a central region. A plurality of bumps is formed around a periphery of the central region of the first substrate. A first semiconductor die is mounted to the central region of the first substrate. A second semiconductor die is mounted to the first semiconductor die over the central region of the first substrate. A height of the first and second die is less than or equal to a height of the bumps. A second substrate has a thermal conduction channel. A surface of the second semiconductor die opposite the first die is mounted to the thermal conductive channel of the second substrate. A thermal interface layer is formed over the surface of the second die. The bumps are electrically connected to contact pads on the second substrate. A conductive plane is formed over a surface of the second substrate.
