Abstract
A conductive plane of an integrated circuit package and a heatsink combine to form a structure for controlling electromagnetic emissions from the integrated circuit die that is mounted in the package. The heatsink includes a base and a projecting portion extending from the base. The projecting portion is electrically connected to an exposed ground plane in the package. The projecting portion defines a recess positioned over the integrated circuit die, which thermally engages the integrated circuit die.
