Abstract
A dam is provided on a surface of a circuit board to which an integrated circuit device is to be mounted. The dam defines a region between the integrated circuit package and the circuit board, and a material is injected into this region after the device has been mounted on the circuit board. This material preferably is a good thermal conductor, assisting in the removal of heat from the device. The injected material also preferably acts as an adhesive, more firmly bonding the device the circuit board.
