Abstract

An integrated circuit package system is provided forming a substrate having an integrated circuit die thereon, thermally connecting a heat slug and a resilient thermal structure to the integrated circuit die, and encapsulating the resilient thermal structure.

Claims (36)

1. A method for manufacture of an integrated circuit package system comprising:

forming a substrate having an integrated circuit die thereon;

thermally connecting a heat slug and the integrated circuit die by a resilient thermal structure having multiple coils and a base positioned between the heat slug and the integrated circuit die, and the base is in direct uninterrupted contact with the integrated circuit die with a lateral distance larger than a width of each of the multiple coils; and

encapsulating the integrated circuit die and the resilient thermal structure with a molding compound in and around the resilient thermal structure.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein thermally connecting the heat slug and the resilient thermal structure to the integrated circuit die comprises forming an interconnected resilient thermal structure with a coil in an array configuration connected with a top interconnect and a bottom interconnect.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein thermally connecting the heat slug and the resilient thermal structure to the integrated circuit die comprises forming a single resilient thermal structure with a coil having a plate at a bottom of the coil on the integrated circuit die.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein thermally connecting the heat slug and the resilient thermal structure to the integrated circuit die comprises forming a complementary resilient thermal structure having an alternating configuration with a spacer structure and a complementary spacer.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein thermally connecting the heat slug and the resilient thermal structure to the integrated circuit die comprises positioning a cap-type heat slug over the integrated circuit die.

6. A method for manufacture of an integrated circuit package system comprising:

forming a substrate having an integrated circuit die on the substrate with an adhesive;

forming a top thermal path with a slug surface of a heat slug and a resilient thermal structure having multiple coils and a base positioned between the heat slug and the integrated circuit die, and the base is in direct uninterrupted contact with the integrated circuit die with a lateral distance larger than a width of each of the multiple coils;

forming a bottom thermal path with a metal layer of the substrate and an external interconnect below the integrated circuit die; and

encapsulating the integrated circuit and the resilient thermal structure with a molding compound in and around the resilient thermal structure.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising connecting an electrical interconnect between the integrated circuit die and the substrate.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein forming the top thermal path with the slug surface of the heat slug and the resilient thermal structure comprises forming the top thermal path with a flat heat slug and the resilient thermal structure.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein forming the substrate comprises forming the substrate having two layers.

10. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising attaching a slug end of the heat slug to the metal layer of the substrate.

11. An integrated circuit package system comprising:

a substrate having an integrated circuit die thereon;

a heat slug thermally connected to the integrated circuit die by a resilient thermal structure having multiple coils and a base positioned between the heat slug and the integrated circuit die, and the base is in direct uninterrupted contact with the integrated circuit die with a lateral distance larger than a width of each of the multiple coils; and
