Abstract

An integrated circuit (IC) device package includes an IC device connected to an upper surface of the IC device carrier. Due to operation conditions or IC device package makeup, the IC device may warp. The warped IC device may include a convex upper surface. A conformable lid is connected to the IC device and includes an internal chamber and a deformable floor. The deformable floor is able to deform or bend along with the IC device. After deformation, the deformable floor may include a concave lower surface. A uniform bond line thickness of a thermal interface material that connects the IC device and the conformable lid is able to be achieved due to the deformable floor deforming or bending along with the IC device.
