Abstract
Power amplifier modules (PAMs) having topside cooling interfaces are disclosed, as are methods for fabricating such PAMs. In embodiments, the method includes attaching the RF power die to a die support-surface of a module substrate. The RF power die is attached to the module substrate in an inverted orientation such that a frontside of the RF power die faces the module substrate. When attaching the RF power die to the module substrate, a frontside input/output interface of the RF power die is electrically coupled to corresponding substrate interconnect features of the module substrate. The method further includes providing a primary heat extraction path extending from the transistor channel of the RF power die to a topside cooling interface of the PAM in a direction opposite the module substrate.
