Technical Examples
An electrically and thermally enhanced die-up tape substrate ball grid array (BGA) package and die-up plastic substrate BGA package are described. A substrate that has a first surface and a second surface is provided. The stiffener has a first surface and a second surface. The second stiffener surface is attached to the first substrate surface. An IC die has a first surface and a second surface. The first IC die surface is mounted to the first stiffener surface. A plurality of solder balls is attached to the second substrate surface. In one aspect, a heat spreader is mounted to the second IC die surface. In another aspect, the stiffener is coupled to ground to act as a ground plane. In another aspect, the substrate has a window opening that exposes a portion of the second stiffener surface. The exposed portion of the second stiffener surface is configured to be coupled to a printed circuit board (PCB). In another aspect, a metal ring is attached to the first stiffener surface. In another aspect, wire bond openings in the stiffener are bridged by one or more studs.
