A semiconductor package construction aimed at improving thermal
performance. A heatspreader is provided having a metal alloy preform
attached to it already. Then, a few dots of conductive epoxy are
dispensed around the die. The heatspreader with the preformed metal alloy
is pressed on the adhesive and then the part is cured. By coupling the
die to the heatspreader with conductive epoxy, the die is constrained
from warping. By removing the necessity of coating the die, the cost of
fabrication is reduced. There is only a very marginal cost increase in
the back end for dispensing the dots. For this, the process and equipment
already exists in the backend. By reducing die backside warpage due, the
die remains in good contact with the heatspreader, thus improving thermal
performance.
