Description
- This is a continuation of co-pending application Ser. No. 12/039,555, filed Feb. 28, 2008.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The invention relates to the assembling of heat sinks, thermal heat spreaders and electronic or integrated circuit device packaging. In particular, the present relates to a structure and method for removably attaching a heat sink to a heat spreader through stud elements disposed on a top surface of a plastic mold cover/lid disposed there between for receiving bolts, screws, rivets or other type of fasteners to an electronic laminate package, such as, a BGA (ball grid array) or PBGA (plastic ball grid array) to improve heat dissipation and controllable forces and pressures applied to the electronic laminate package.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- It is known that there has been rapid development in electronic or integrated circuit package technology and, as a result, the electronic or integrated circuit package components are becoming smaller and circuitry within the electronic package components is becoming increasingly dense. As the circuit density increases heat generation typically increases as well. Thus, heat dissipation is becoming more critical as the technology develops. This technology includes Ball-grid array (BGA) type integrated circuits (ICs), which will be referred to as simply “BGAs”. They have an array of solder balls on the bottom of an IC, which provide electrical connection to the IC. Many techniques have been used to try to improve the reliability of BGAs mounted on printed circuit boards (PCB). Other techniques have been used to try to reduce the amount of stress and shock applied to the BGA.
- Various techniques may typically be used to remove or dissipate heat generated by an electronic or integrated circuit component, which may also be referred to as an electronic die. These techniques may include passive and active configurations. One passive configuration involves a conductive material in thermal contact with the backside of a packaged die. This conductive material is often a slug, a heat spreader, or an integrated heat spreader (IHS).
- One of the primary purposes for a spreader is to spread, or absorb, and dissipate the heat generated by the die, which minimizes concentrated high-heat locations or hot spots within the die. A heat spreader is attached approximate the back side of the electronic die with a thermally conductive material, such as a thermal interface (TIM) disposed therebetween. Typically thermal interface materials may include, for example, thermally conductive gels, grease or solders. Heat spreaders are typically constructed of a thermally conductive material such as aluminum, electrolytically plated copper, copper alloy, or ceramic, among others. Heat spreaders may be attached to a substrate using solder, sealants, or other types of adhesive materials. In operation, heat is typically conducted from the electronic die through the thermal interface to the heat spreader by heat conduction. A vent hole is known to be formed in a heat spreader (not shown), and may provide pressure relief inside the electronic package. A heat sink may be attached to a top side of a heat spreader, and in operation, heat is transferred from the heat spreader to the heat sink, and convective heat transfer primarily transfers heat from the heat sink to the surrounding air. Heat sinks are typically attached to a spreader by use of an adhesive material, or mechanical attachment devices, for example, bolts, pins, screws, rivets, and other types of mechanical attachment devices.
- It is well known to have a BGA package attached to a heat slag. The method of fixing the heat slag to the BGA package is by a heat conductive double-faced tape or thermal conductive bonding agent. A method of fixing the heat slag or the heat sink to a motherboard via a backing or support plate by studs, spacers and/or mechanical attachment devices, such as, bolts, pins, screws, rivets, and other types of mechanical attachment devices generates unwanted stress or forces that causes damage to the BGA or integrated circuit package.
- An electronic package assembly includes a plastic or laminate ball grid array package (PBGA) attached to a first side of a circuit board (not shown), a heat spreader mounted to an upper surface of the PBGA, the heat spreader is embedded in a plastic or molded cover/shield as a single unit, and a heat sink (not shown) directly and removably attached to the single molded cover and heat spreader unit.
- The single molded unit having a plurality of spaced securing studs extending upwardly from the upper surface and contiguous to the periphery or edge thereof. The plastic or molded cover/shield is molded about the studs. Such plastic or molded cover/shield is embedded onto the upper surface of the heat spreader to give added strength for screw or mechanical fastening torque. With this arrangement, various types of mechanical fastening devices, such as a screw, pin, rivet, bolt or the like can be utilized to secure the heat sink to the studs. This allows for more efficient controllable forces or pressure to be achieved to prevent stress and damage to the PBGA package. Also, since no motherboard or any other structure is necessary to fix the heat sink thereto, the PGBA components, such as, solder balls receive an effective reduction in the amount of stress and pressure forces applied to overcome damage thereto.
- The preferred invention teaches that the studs are secured to the heart spreader by caulking and subjected to plastic molding. However, to one of ordinary skill in the art, it is apparent that many other types of securing means could be utilized, such as, adhesives, soldering, gluing, and various types of mechanical fasteners, if desired.
- In order to cope with heat generated in the PBGA package, the molded cover and heat spreader unit enhances or improves the heat dissipation property of the surface of the PBGA package. Since fixed parts are directly attached onto the heat spreader, which is resin-molded in the PBGA package, it is possible to control the height tolerances of the studs; it becomes possible to minimize the distance to a thermal device, such as a heat sink. Therefore, application control of such things as thermal conductive grease becomes easy so that the heat transfer property can be enhanced. Since the structure is simple, a female stud can be tightened into an existing heat spreader, making it possible to produce it in an existing production process.
- Moreover, since the thermal device can be directly attached to the molded cover and heat spreader unit, no extra space is required for securing or fixing the thermal unit.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the PBGA package according to the present invention. -
FIG. 3 is an isometric exploded view of a conventional heat sink assembly according to the present invention. - Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. While the invention will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it will be understood that they are not intended to limit the invention to drawings. On the contrary, the present invention is intended to cover alternatives, modifications and equivalents, which may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

FIG. 1 is an isometric exploded view of a PBGA package device that includes aplastic mold cover 1, aheat spreader 2 with a plurality of spacedstuds 3 disposed on a periphery edge thereof, and aBGA laminate 4 component with a semiconductor chip orelectronic component 5 disposed thereon. Thelaminate 4 shows solder balls or contact elements disposed underneath that are not referenced. -
FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the PBGA package device. Theplastic mold 1 is embedded or molded on theheat spreader 2 and about thestuds 3 to form a single unit. The molded single unit is secured to the BGA laminate by an adhesive element not shown. It is preferred that an electrical conductive type of adhesive be utilized, since it can reduce the amount of electrical magnetic emissions generated. - Note that a thermal unit such as a conventional type of heat sink as depicted in
FIG. 3 can be easily attached and removed from the molded cover and heat spreader unit by mechanical attachment devices, such as, bolts, pins, screws, rivets, and other types of mechanical attachment devices. The mechanical attachment devices are directly secured to the molded studs of the above single unit. When the mechanical attachments are attached to the studs, the single unit structure provides more added strength against screw or mechanical fastening torque. This single unit structure allows for more efficient controllable forces or pressures to be applied as the mechanical fastening device is attached to the molded studs to thereby prevent stress and damage to the PBGA package. Also, since no motherboard or any other fixture, such as a backing, clamping or support plate is utilized to secure the heat sink to the PBGA package, stress or damage to the PGBA package is prevented. -
FIG. 3 shows the conventional heat-dissipating assembly structure comprises aheat sink 10 a and afan 20 a, wherein thesink 10 a, made of copper or aluminum, has amain body 11 a whereon a plurality offins 12 a are formed, with the bottom surface of themain body 11 a capable of jointing with theheat spreader 2 so as to assist in heat dissipation. - The
fan 20 a is mounted on theheat sink 10 a byscrew elements 21 a through threaded or securingopenings 13 a of theheat sink 10 a and threaded or securingopening 14 a of thefan 20 a and into the securingstuds 3 of theheat spreader 2 and the moldedcover unit 1. Thus, when thefan 20 a is energized, cold air on top can be caused to blow downwards to thesink 10 a, so as to assist in heat dissipation. - The arrangement of the single molded cover and heat spreader unit enhances or improves the heat dissipation property of the surface of the PBGA package. This arrangement allows for controlling the height tolerances of the studs, and minimizing the distance and space required to attach a heat sink unit to the studs.
- In conclusion, since the structure is a simple arrangement, a female stud can be tightened into an existing heat spreader, making it possible to produce it in an existing production process.
- The foregoing descriptions of the specific embodiments of
FIGS. 1 and 2 have been presented for purposes of illustration and description. They are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the precise forms disclosed, and obviously many modifications and variations are possible in the light of the above teaching. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the invention and its practical application, to thereby enable others skilled in the art to best utilize the invention and various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated. It is intended that the scope of the invention be defined as set forth in the following claim(s).
