A semiconductor chip assembly includes a semiconductor device, a heat spreader, a conductive trace, an adhesive and a support layer. The heat spreader includes a post, a base, an underlayer and a thermal via. The conductive trace includes a pad and a terminal. The semiconductor device is electrically connected to the conductive trace and thermally connected to the heat spreader. The post extends upwardly from the base into an opening in the adhesive, the base extends laterally from the post, the support layer is sandwiched between the base and the underlayer and the thermal via extends from the base through the support layer to the underlayer. The conductive trace provides signal routing between the pad and the terminal.

Semiconductor chip assembly with post/base heat spreader with thermal via

A method of making a semiconductor chip assembly includes providing a post, a base, a support layer and an underlayer, wherein the post extends above the base and the support layer is sandwiched between the base and the underlayer, mounting an adhesive on the base including inserting the post into an opening in the adhesive, mounting a conductive layer on the adhesive including aligning the post with an aperture in the conductive layer, then flowing the adhesive upward between the post and the conductive layer, solidifying the adhesive, then providing a conductive trace that includes a pad, a terminal and a selected portion of the conductive layer, providing a heat spreader that includes the post, the base, the underlayer and a thermal via that extends from the base through the support layer to the underlayer, then mounting a semiconductor device on the post, electrically connecting the semiconductor device to the conductive trace and thermally connecting the semiconductor device to the heat spreader.
