A semiconductor package includes a wiring board, a semiconductor chip
flip-chip bonded to the wiring board, an adhesive coated on the wiring
board, a stiffener ring attached to the wiring board, and a heat spreader
attached to the stiffener ring and the semiconductor chip. The stiffener
ring includes a window through which the semiconductor chip is exposed
and multiple through holes. A thermal interface material (TIM) coated on
the back surface of the semiconductor chip. The stiffener ring is
attached to the heat spreader by portions of the adhesive squeezed onto
the upper surface of the stiffener ring via the through holes, and the
semiconductor chip is attached to the heat spreader by the TIM. A method
for manufacturing a semiconductor package includes: flip-chip bonding a
semiconductor chip to a wiring board; coating an adhesive on the wiring
board; and attaching a stiffener ring to the wiring board. The stiffener
ring includes a window through which the semiconductor chip is exposed
and through holes. The stiffener ring is attached to a heat spreader by
portions of the adhesive squeezed onto the upper surface of the stiffener
ring via the through holes, and the semiconductor chip is attached to the
heat spreader by the TIM.
