A method and apparatus for making a package having improved heat
conduction characteristics and high frequency response. A relatively
thick package substrate, such as copper, has a wiring layer bonded to one
face, leaving the opposite face exposed, for example, to be a surface for
connection to a heat sink. One ore more chips are bonded to the wiring
layer, and an array of connectors, such as solder balls are provided
around the periphery of the chip(s) for connection to a printed circuit
board. In some embodiments, the printed circuit board has a hole that the
chip(s) extend into to allow smaller external-connection solder balls. In
some embodiments, a second heat sink is connected to the back of the chip
through the PCB hole.
